Nvidia launches slower version of gaming chip in China to comply with US export controls
Nvidia, a US-based chip maker, is launching a modified version of its gaming chip in China to comply with US export controls. These controls require chip makers to produce lower quality or slower chips for China to give America a competitive advantage. The adjusted version of Nvidia's new processor, named Nvidia RTX 4090D, has 11% fewer CAD cores than the versions sold outside of China. This move poses challenges for Chinese tech companies trying to compete with their American counterparts, as their tools are being forced to lower quality. Nvidia claims that the chip has been designed to fully comply with US government export controls.
