20 years is a long period of time in tech advancement, this is really bad. Sure it's good enough for basic IC and discrete components but even on the microcontroller , DSP or MEM levels this is quite a huge technology gap. Sure you can build low power chips with that but not as integrated, performant and efficient as foreign chips. Sure industrial machines mostly use very old and basic electronics, they don't care about fanless though, but for other crucial tasks like R&D, design or communication companies need relatively performant computers. Without at least a 45nm node ready for production a tech embargo will be a difficult step backward for the interior market and whole infrastructures.

@miyatenmeiritsu1810 it doesn't mean that those non bleeding edge founders will stagnate during the time PRC get 7nm production. When Samsung or TSMC get rid of obsolete machines, they don't sell them at their initial price. PRC's founders will still have to catch the tech and investing hugely in R&D so they will stay disadvantaged compared to all those competitors who can simply access cheaper second-hand tech.

@prayagmehta9738 honestly, I think this is more a matter of what is the cheapest node for budget phones. Compared to a 45nm chip, the real gain is power efficiency rather than usage of more performance.

except this doesn't exclusively impact vehicles but the whole IT and electronics. And it's more an efficiency issue at more than a thousand scale rather than a matter of comfort.
