Semiconductor world in for a rough ride as chip bubble bursts at the high end

Well as usual, it wiped out my comment, because I made it, systems, without memory, restarting, more transistors good, cheaper good, more memory short and long term good, more machine learning better, 50 billion transistors, 60% in machine learning, 64 GB of gddr6, 4TB of PCIe5, then we can run AR, with Avatars, we can talk to in our home environments, our Avatars, friends Avatars, AI Avatars, to interact with then, we can eat together, have a drink, socialise, without having to spend $A2,000 to do it, just on the transportation.

What I want to see, is cheaper high transistor devices, if there’s an oversupply of transistors, then. A device, with 64 GB of GDDR6, 50 billion transistors in the combined GPU, CPU, at 4nm, 4TB in PCIe5, should be possible, at a reasonable price, with lots of machine learning. For artificial intelligence neural network processing algorithms, for example video HDR, dynamic processing algorithms, chip designs, that can change architecture, according to software demands.

In mini computers, large chips, running at lower power rates, more transistors, lower frequencies, more massively parallel, scalable, running on efficiency cores most of the time, high end, for very short periods, to keep down heating inefficiencies. The jobs get done faster, the chip, doesn’t heat up and become inefficient, give us some AR, linked with WiFi 6, so we can interact with our friends and environment, at a reasonable price, chips around the house, interacting, transceiver relaying amongst themselves, so we can see the avatar, we’re talking to, in our environment.

Look out, SpaceX et al – China's Long March-5 rocket blasts off

China first to orbit the Moon, in 1/2 a Century ?

What do we notice this month, Long March 5 launch of up to 25 tons to orbit, Shenzou 11 visits Tiangong 2 space lab, for a month, finishing touches being put on space tug freighter, to be launched on a Long March 7, with 12 tons to orbit capacity, in readiness for it's mission to Tiangong 2. Tiangong 3 Core Module, of the Chinese long term space station, being readied for it's launch, in 2018 aboard the Long March 5, Orion US deep space capsule, according to some, flight delayed till 2023. China progressing on its 6 crew capsule, Long March 9, with 100 ton payload scheduled for 2030, the Chinese already having tested an engine with enough thrust for LM9, of course you don't need an Apollo scale launcher, to orbit the Moon.

Remember the panic, that the Russians, could orbit the Moon, before the US, leading to Apollo 8, their Progress launcher could have done it, if the Chinese were to launch 2 LM 5's, they've shown they can rapidly dual launch, with 2 launchers, on seperate launch pads. Then, they wouldn't even need to dock at the long term space station. With the crewed section, to wait for the trans lunar orbit insertion section and dock with it on orbit, remember they don't have the weight, of the lander to haul, so it's possible, that the first humans to orbit the Moon, in more than half a century, could be Chinese.
