The All China PC

[TannerMcCoolman]

What happens when you build a computer out of parts made by China’s top “unknown in the West” brands? Is the RAM rammin? Is the SSD solid? Is the GPU a GPU-ty or more of a G-pee-ew stinky mess?

I get the feeling it'll look and act a lot like a PC until it randomly collapses due to substandard concrete

The reason why Intel is producing China only chips is because of the sanctions. I'm not sure how it works, but somehow playing with the core count and specs allows them to circumvent the sanctions. As I understand it, the chips has the same P cores (8 vs 8), less E cores (8 vs 12) and less L2 cache (24 vs 28) but somehow more L3 cache (36 vs 33). Because the total number of cores and the total memory is below a threshold they are allowed to sell these in China. Intel says that chips are just as good for gaming.

China has a total of 16 cores and a total of 61MB of L1, L2 and L3 combines while the western chip had 20 cores and a total of 63MB combined. That seems to be the magic threshold.

I want to know why not choose TiPlus 7100 for SSD. (1T 499CNY(69.35USD) 2T 1049CNY(145.78USD))

How to explain 14900k still can be buy in China ?

No, these are bad binned chips that intel uses as dump for the chinese market. AMD does it too with the Ryzen 5 X500 (3500X, 5500X) series

I definitely considered it, but I wanted the PC005 because it claimed to be the first for entirely mainland SSDs

When a Chinese company get sanctioned by US, they really did a brilliant job in its industry.

You sure it doesn't have anything to do with this?
