Looks like they are more focused on the computing side, however given the shortages never say never.
A 1080 equivalent would already be an improvement for me...

As fast as a GTX 1080 in what exactly? Its clearly not aimed at gaming because it doesn't support Direct X or Vulcan. Only OpenGL

If they're targeting Linux then OpenGL is all they really need. The Chinese government are set to move over to Linux so they could still get massive government contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if one day China bans people from using Windows altogether so maybe it will lead to more games with Linux/OpenGL support as China is a massive market. Then again the CCP will probably make it illegal to play games before that happens.

Linux is moving to Vulkan, Even the DE's like KDE ect are in the processes of shifting to Vulkan.
