Sidestepping GPU ban, Chinese factories dismantle and transform Nvidia RTX 4090 gaming cards into AI accelerators

Thousands of GeForce RTX 4090 transformed into AI accelerators.

This is the reason why you can’t find ones in your local best buy. They are paying premium for it. But it indeed is very helpful, if I can get my hand on a few for my build.

    I mean Taiwan isn’t exactly jumping at the chance to build advance chips for the rougue provences of West Taiwan, that constantly warn of their impeding violent invasion of Taiwan.

    Also their yields at 7nm are apparently terrible, assuming they are being honest about the actual production. A few years ago China put out news of a home grown x86 chip that was on par with Zen 1 or something like that, and it turned out they had just repackaged old chips.

      Ah… then why are they trying to convince the US to give them a license to run factories in China. TSMC, you know those Taiwan chipmakers, want the US to give them permanent license to run factories those “rogue provences of West Taiwan”.

      You know what a good way is to keep someone from invading you? Be so crucial that they don’t want to even risk damaging you in any way. They would be making chips for them right now if the US allowed it.
