It’s faster than the old chip hahahha
It’s fighting a losing battle against closed market protectionism by the US.
I wouldnt call it fighting. They are skimming the top. Take a product, make it a little worse with the lowest possible effort to match the export limits and sell it. Rinse repeat.
That’s idiotic and Nvidia would be foolish to bet that the US government won’t arbitrarily tighten restrictions whenever it wants to get some brownie points with the public, as it currently has been doing. It will be a massive blow to the company and to the US’s tech industry in the future to simply cut off half or more of the world’s population due to ideology.
What would stop Nvidia from moving to China to bypass these restrictions or another country that doesn’t restrict export and imports like the US does? Their chips are made in Taiwan anyway so they have to be imported to the US anyway. Could move to Japan?
Inside the “China and friends” -world there is no company capable of manufacturing such high end chips. All manufacturing is in “US and friends” -world. China tries to build high end chip manufacturing, but so far failed totally.
Minimally they’d be unable to do business in US and many other countries who have good relationships with US, including eg Taiwan where NV manufactures chips and Japan that you suggest as a place to relocate to. You essentically need to look at countries US is preventing exports to, that’s the list of countries where NV could move to. Not only do they need to move to one of those countries, and manager to bring all their money with them, but also gotta convince >20,000 employees and their families to go too. Its just too obsurd an idea to know where to start.
A lot of IPs are from the Americans.
There are no such thing as an Chinese engineer or scientist.
The bypassing happens on its own. As if you couldn’t buy a 4090 in china
Man why does Reddit love the ccp so much?
No other knee jerk reaction can signal more clearly that you are the kind of stereotypical reddit who is either terminally online or brainwashed.
Actually, come to think about it, these two symptoms are not so different after all
And like the other half of the planet that isn’t US-aligned that also aren’t allowed to get the GPUs, but yeah go off buddy!
It attract people like you.
The tech industry is mostly people of east Asian descent. This subreddit is heavily focused on technology, thus, most of the people posting here are Asian/Asian diaspora. I think it’s understandable that a lot of them want to defend the current largest and most powerful Asian country. A lot of Chinese exchange students are heavily nationalistic due to extremely nationalistic media. They are also generally children whose parents are high ranking party members. So that’s why you’ll see some people on here with poor English defending China to the death.
Lol u/NaiveFroog blocked me.
Nvidia has had it’s reputation ruined by the US gov.
Why would a Chinese company invest in these products if there is always a very real risk of a sanction on the chips and support around the corner. Companies need reliabilty.
