Not all progress means a technological evolution
Perfect analysis of the strategy in the Eastern European war, and if it is perfect, I have nothing to add.
Regarding China, the TSMC company from the Republic of China, which today is the pawn of companies that need a chip.
Do they all need two nanometer chips?
That is the question.
This chip is very capable but very expensive, a cell phone made with it costs $2000, it's not affordable.
But could it be indispensable in military technology?
Yes and no. The ever-larger and more app-based operating systems are the result of a decision made in the software industries to choose a programming architecture that reduces system designers' salaries, and reduces the time to launch a system by more than 20 times. compared to the 1980s.
But the cost and price to pay for the object-oriented architecture is the increasingly exaggerated size of the systems and the idleness that the modular architecture generates for the consumption of energy, memory, processing time, speed and precision and specificity because of the polymorphism feature, which is more or less like a flexible do-everything, which does all a lot of things but none of them better than a uniquely dedicated module.
So the solution was to increase memory and components.
The alternative is to use structured architecture as was done until the 1980s. It takes longer, is more expensive in terms of labor, but the cost of the final product is tens of times lower in processing efficiency, memory is now reduced in that millions of times and you don't even need such powerful chips, that's why man went to the moon with a 24k byte computer, which doesn't even run Windows1.0.
