    Just take a look at how bad their domestically produced cpu is and you might be less concerned.

    Saying CPUs will eventually be faster makes it sound like you might not understand why they want GPUs in the first place. If the CPUs get that good don’t you think they will also be banned?

      If you cut down a GPU enough, the CPU doesn’t become good, the GPU becomes bad.

      Double precision fp (yes a different metric but the main one super computers are concerned about) performance of Nvidia 4080 is 761.52GFlops. Ryzen 9 7950x is about 256GFlops, so on that one metric, it’s not like the GPUs are orders of magnitude behind. At a certain point, using a cut down gaming card won’t make sense.
