Linked article, second paragraph, emphasis mine:
>U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, speaking in an interview with Reuters on Monday, said Nvidia "can, will and should sell AI chips to China because most AI chips will be for commercial applications."
China doesn't need to do anything to win this New Cold War, we (the US) will lose of our own accord.
- alephnerd 3y agoAnd after that paragraph: > "What we cannot allow them to ship is the most sophisticated, highest-processing power AI chips, which would enable China to train their frontier models," she added The Lovelace line is on the newer end, though the RTX4090 is more commercial driven in usecases.
- Dalewyn 3y agoAnd they've complied: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/23/12/29/0111242/nvidia-slowed-rtx-4090-gpu-by-11-percent-to-make-it-100-percent-legal-for-export-in-china https://tech.slashdot.org/story/23/12/29/0111242/nvidia-slow... They aren't selling the "most sophisticated, highest-processing power" chips, but they are (and rightfully so given the law) selling sophisticated, high-processing power chips. When we're beating around the bush refusing to not sell to China while they go and do the deed wholesale on their side, it's a foregone conclusion who is winning this New Cold War and whether it's worth waging it (for us) at all. Also, it's been well over 24 hours since ComSec gave that "the very next day" statement.
