When is China gonna make graphics cards and ram?

They are already producing both, just not in large enough quantities for mass export yet.

Or more importantly, their GPUs are made for machine learning uses first so we gamers in the West are still screwed for a while.

Pretty much, but I'm expecting we'll see the same thing happen here as with stuff like solar panels and EVs. Once the capacity ramps up, everybody will get to enjoy cheap graphic cards and ram.

With Pox memory and CNT chips, GPUs and RAM may be obsolete.
