The recent U.S. government restrictions on AI hardware exports to China have significantly impacted several key semiconductor players, including NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, restricting them from selling high-performance AI chips to Chinese land. This ban has notably affected NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 ga...
US doesn’t have a clear strategy. It was originally to keep China permanently under 14nm and when that failed, it switched to “slowing” without any clear objectives or definitions of success, at expense of Nvidia market access.
Success is slowing down China.
Long term, China is inevitably going to develop its own super intelligent AGI, and without those pesky safety filters.
Slowing them down gives breathing room.
It doesn’t do enough to slow them down, they made a breakthrough at 7nm. US policy wonks making up these sanctions don’t understand the tech and trying to balance economic interests.
The US and China are both preparing for war in the near future. China is building up their military power extremly fast, pumping out jets, ships, missiles, drones etc. and US is doing what it can to slow them down. It is inevitable that China will be able to manufacture their own chips, nothing will stop them.
Economic interests are lower priority.
Yup. This is pretty much the goal. Slow em down any way possible to keep that tech advantage.
Not enough, they are making breakthroughs, it’s nowhere close to stopping them.
Why?
