You don't, but that Bloomberg story has been debunked several times, although they still claim its true. The issue with it isn't with regards to the possibility of doing something like that, but their claims of how small, yet advanced said chips are meant to be. The PRC couldn't make something like that, today.I think I get it now, thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. You are correct, I really didn't know as much as I thought I did.
So if ARM licensed say... IP to make a chip to put on say the RGB of a gtx 1070, and this chip was made in China, how do we know that telemetry of some kind is not built in to that RGB arm chip on the gtx 1070? Just curious... a hypothetical scenario... if you will... I only ask because I remember reading something like this once:
China Used a Tiny Chip in a Hack That Infiltrated U.S. Companies
The attack by Chinese spies reached almost 30 U.S. companies by compromising America's technology supply chain.www.bloomberg.com
full disclose i only read like the first paragraph there, but yeah
On the other hand, if you buy a chip made by a company in the PRC, they could've put anything they want in there, just like a US, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, German, French or Italian chip maker could.
I presume you got the RGB controller example from the post above? Just FYI, Holtek is a Taiwanes company.
