Can I tell you I can go downstairs now and buy a 5090 (not d or d2 version, the real 5090) in China for 4000usd (33000rmb)? They have it stock right now, they have since release. It’s a Japan version.
I didn’t ask about h100 or others but can’t see why they wouldn’t have.
I believe it. I don’t think the restrictions are effective.
That said, I think the goal is more to make it harder to buy thousands of GPUs and stand up a cluster like big US labs do.
