Are there no any EU alternative to those gaming hardware company? If we start now making GPU and CPU from scratch, how far behind are we?

Their supply chains are quite globalized.
There have been mobile competitors like Imagination, but the reality is cutting edge chip design is enormously expensive and hard, and there’s a big performance gulf. Imagination (and others) can’t afford to fab their own designs, and no one takes them up on it unless it’s a mobile chip or something.
SiPearl was working on a rather massive ARM CPU: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16072/sipearl-lets-rhea-design-leak-72x-zeus-cores-4x-hbm2e-46-ddr5
Looks like the effort is still alive, but it was focused on server stuff and compute.
Thanks for the information! I have added Imagination and SiPearl to the list of hardware alternatives. Gotta start somewhere hehe.
Update: Imagination is headquartered in the UK however most of the ownership of the company is held by the Chinese government.
