WHQL certification could help put Lisuan Tech's 6nm GPUs on the map.

I wish we had other options for GPUs (and CPUs) other than American and Chinese companies.

I don't really see this impacting prices in any way outside of China in a few segments (if that).

The real news in this article is that MS "thoroughly and rigorously evaluates compatibility and dependability" for drivers

Who would have otherwise known

Isn't ARM like norwegian but made by brittish? Or am I confounding with the atmega...

Anyways yeah I bet we in the EU could make some good hardware if we tried, and why not now when the usa has become unreliable?

They did the processor but yeah fair enough, we should have foundries too.

ATI was once Canadian.

I would love this too, but I feel like we'd need some kind of intermediary standard for drivers to work with. Otherwise, it's like the auto software industry without AUTOSAR.

ARM is UK based. Atmega is not ARM based, it's a microcontroller family made by Atmel/Microchip, both American. An alternative for Atmega would be STM32 which is European.
However, this all has nothing to do with GPUs, that's a totally different field.

Part of the reason was that windows was getting a reputation as an unstable os. After a bunch of work they discovered that a lot of drivers were the source. As an effort to change that image, they started vetting drivers. I think they have been making moves to push as much 3rd party out of the kernel as they can, so blue screens would only be os issues.

Whether that vetting continues with ai around is going seriously affect window's future image.

Yeah ARM it was, but IIRC it was built by two Norwegian dudes and then made by the brittish. So european anyways.

This has lots of things to do with CPUs, not GPUs (see the top post I responded to).
