    there was a massive theft GPUs or nvidia chips themselves just days before this came out. the chip can be used to in the computer system, usually navigation, inside of ICBMs. hence they are prohibited from going to china.

      With respect, humanity has been able to navigate ICBMs before Nvidia chips came along. Not saying you’re wrong about something being stolen, but the link to ICBM navigation seems rather teneous.

        i am saying you are wrong. humanity has not been able to navigate ICBMs. only major nuclear powers can. US allies get their nukes loaned to them from the US. China caused a playstion 2 shortage 20+ years ago just to get the chips because it was more powerful then what they had. you should do some research.

          I mean, what?! How do you think France built its SLBMs in 1972? With Nvidia chips? lol.

          Its a ballistic missile - we’ve known ballistic trajectories calculations since artillery became common. Yeah, they get more precise with star navigation and gyroscopes but if you can launch a rocket, you have to know roughly where it lands. The rest is just mega tonnage.

            You just made my argument for me. glad we can establish that more powerful chips make missels more accurate lol do you finally understand why china is not allowed to have them, or need me to anwser more dumb questions that you could have just read about?
