<p>Voodoo 3 didnt kill 3dfx, it released month after TNT2 and offered better performance/price ratio. What killed 3dfx was Nvidias relentless release cycle with GF256 just 8 months later.</p>

<p>Dont know about LLM, but AI in general isnt such a stupid idea as one might think and Chinese are particularly well positioned to take advantage.<p>Take for example something like XinZhiZao (XZZ), ZXW, Wuxinji, diyfixtool. They have huge databases with pictures, diagrams and boardviews of pretty much every phone, laptop and graphics card. With all this data you could build AI system ripping of^^^^^ "suggesting" routing for your design based on similarity to stole^^^training data. That way you start with layout that worked in devices shipped by the millions.<p>This could be build in stages, starting witch much weaker system trained on just pcb pictures + layer count. This should be enough to suggest ~optimal initial chip placement for classical auto-router.</p>

<p>> Think I could wire pin 88 to ground and basically fix it?<p>I think you could check if the pin is reliably connected to ground.<p>Did you buy this board already broken? Its also possible someone connecting Fans shorted 12V to Fintek FAN tacho input (two middle pins on 4 pin connector) frying all ADC inputs, in that case only replacement chip would work.</p>

<p>> perfect time<p>Or not. China just saw two supposedly biggest military superpowers fail to achieve their military objectives. China supplied Iran with tons of most advanced SAM they could muster, and it took Iran over a month to shoot down _one_ 50 year old airframe. Gunning for Taiwan right now could provoke orange one to erase Iran oil infrastructure.</p>
