AD103 and AD102 are two entirely different animals. Like, we are talking about 80 vs. 144 SMs on fully enabled ASICs, alongside 8 vs. 12 memory controllers.
There’s no way an AD103 totting 4080 Super can come even remotely close to the 4090 vanilla.
Besides, it’s not like Nvidia can slap a $1,500 price-tag on a crippled 4090 masquerading as 4080 “Super.”
GN’s Steve ‘Jesus’ Burke will pull out all his hairs!
And besides, Huang has better things to worry about, like Hopper hopping on the export ban list.
Well, China can always just cripple Apple in retaliation, which is basically over 2x larger than Nvidia, judging by its 2.6 trillion-dollar market cap.
In fact, China can have TSMC, as long as they’re willing to go on an all-out war with Taiwan.
I mean, Russia is already doing the same with Ukraine. What’s stopping China?
If China were to invade Taiwan and take over TSMC, Would they even be able to use the fab? It seems like Russia exploiting Ukraine’s resources would be a lot simpler a task.
Nah.

Who cares about the 4090?!
I fully believe US will want to put next generation of NV GPUs on ban list from the start.
Otherwise you can expect Nvidia to reserve full stock for China in first months fearing they will get banned soon.

No, they cannot.
The knowledge that they would certainly lose?
Why can’t they?
Why are you certain they would lose?
