How is that misleading, most chips in use are older chips. Bleeding edge chips are a tiny percent of overall global chip usage.
When normal people look at the title with "chips", they are most likely think of "computer chips". However, that's what not the article is about.
The use of the term is correct, and indeed chips are used in more places that most people doesn't think of. Still, it is misleading as it doesn't consider what most people think what "chip" is, bleeding edge or not.
Congrats on winning the dumbest take I've read all day. Do only Intel i9-1490 count? Do you think that's what in production cars or something? FFS, the Z80 just now got retired and is still to this day used in common electronics. Also the title of the article says "semi-conductors".
The power of those chips matters a great deal. If China is producing mostly chips supporting IoT devices, and its imports are computer chips of the Intel/AMD variety, it doesn't have nearly as much impact as the title implies.
