Until the West stops restricting lithography machines, or China develops their own advanced lithography machines, we likely won’t see Chinese GPUs for sale in our markets.
I’m personally hoping China has a breakthrough on lithography machines to break ASML’s monopoly and fuck over all these extremely rich companies, but we’re not going to see anything like that happen for 10 plus years.
But in 10 years, oh boy, we’re gonna have so much cheaper China tech, it’ll be awesome.
Neither of these will happen because the little available data online indicates that it a) sucks in comparison to other GPUs and b) will likely not even be sold outside of China.
They are using TSMC’s 6nm for manufacture because they can’t use anything more modern due to sanctions.
The LX 7100 is comparable to the 4060, I am running a 5700 XT, if the price on the LX 7100 is good I would be tempted to jump on it.
Just because they’re forced to use old technology standards, doesn’t mean it’s bad tech.
So this is going to cause a bit of a panic so one of two things will happen:

My money is on number 2.

In the current climate, it doesn’t seem like he’d have the power to ban it anywhere but the US
Free bad press in response to new tariff threats !
I smell a lucrative black market brewing…
