NVIDIA sure as hell is trying to evade the spirit of the sanctions. Seriously questioning the wisdom of that.

  > the spirit of the sanctions What does this mean? The sanctions are very specific on what can't be sold, so the spirit is to sell anything up to that limit.

      Not according to their reported financials. You have a source for that number?

About 15% or $2.7 billion of Nvidia's revenue for the quarter ended October came from Singapore, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing showed. Revenue coming from Singapore in the third quarter jumped 404.1% from the $562 million in revenue recorded in the same period a year ago.

      Can't Alibaba use a Singapore based cloud provider? For Nvidia as long as GPUs don't move to China or maybe directly owned by Chinese company it is clear. For SG based non US data center there aren't any sanctions.
