"Comparing China's 16nm Space Chips to NASA's 250nm Process"

China is testing advanced computer processors ranging from 28 to 16 nanometres on its Tiangong space station, giving it a significant tech edge over NASA, which still uses 30-year-old technology with chips based on 250-nanometre process. The large-scale testing in space is crucial for China's rapidly growing space ambitions and allows for the development of advanced protection technologies. This move puts China in a strong position to meet the anticipated explosive demand for high-performance, low-cost space-grade chips in the coming years.
