Let's be honest though - Nvidia aren't really redesigning their products at all. These chip companies don't work by manufacturing new variants. They produce one chip that does it all and they either fuse out or write firmware to limit them. So what will happen with these chips is exactly the same thing that happened with the crypto-disabled products they sold. They'll just buy the limited chips and then find a workaround. That was pretty much fine when it was just market segmentation with crypto, quite a different thing when you're participating in skirting sanctions.
