The actual rule has hard numbers, no need to speculate. And it’s no more than 300 TFLOPS of fp16 (or 150 fp32, 600 fp8, etc) so it ain’t TFLOPS that are the culprit. As for performance density, it’s equivalent to those figures at an 830mm^2 die, so again not that.
Ok I didn’t know the actual numbers that’s helpful. Maybe they’re just holding off to apply for an export license? I heard the 4090 is in a “gray area”.

No gray area, at base clocks the 4090 exceeds the limit by 10% already.
