It's good to see more competition in the semiconductor space.

Not sure how competitive they will be.

A quick search doesn't reveal any independent benchmarks (I don't speak Chinese though), and data provided by Biren itself isn't particularly exciting.

There is also a matter of incentives and shielding from competitive pressure due to state mandate.

they are very new. give them a few years and all that will be there.

May they will, maybe they won't. We will find out.

But lack of independent benchmarks even at this point is not a good sign.

Not mention that many in the west underestimate the "disincentives" from such state mandated programs which create opportunities for self-enrichment and complacency.

they were founded in 2019, and already ahead of intel.

and already ahead of intel

Source? Ahead in what? Compared to which device? Gaudi?

intel doesn't have anything worth talking about. it was a joke about how pathetic intel has become.
