Not at all surprising. It doesn’t matter what Huang says, this would have happened if there were no restrictions on Nvidia/AMD enterprise GPUs sales to China.
I mean yeah, GN did a whole movie on how easily available they are still, both for purchase or modding them to fit your needs. Link below. But yeah, this is pretty normal for China to try and keep cash flow within country. They wouldn’t limit themselves if they hadn’t caught up, but if they have now then it makes sense to try and stop cash flowing out by restricting to their version. Do it with apps and plenty of other things so it’s nothing new. Literally irrelevant that it’s export banned from the US.
Note: it is 3 hours… but it’s not a bad watch if you haven’t seen it and are interested.
I wonder if this is blowback from the Gamers Nexus investigation?
I highly doubt GN has any role in shaping the CCP’s policies. The CCP likely already knew the facts behind the investigation (I haven’t seen the video, just read summaries).
I guarantee you the CCP were ahead of GN which is why they didnt care about the video.
Why would the CCP care negatively even if they didn’t have the details and learned of this for the first time from the GN video?
