It only lowers prices for a brief period, and then it jumps significantly.

• short term = oversupply = same product for lower price
• long term = company reacts to reduced market by decreasing production & support. Price jumps. Product quality declines, and possibly discontinued if bad enough.

Sanctions dont make the market more robust or healthier. They artificially carve it into pieces, which in the longterm creates poorer products, creates monopolies, and eventually ends up enforcing those monopolies by strangling off any would-be competition.

In this example:

• Losers: amd, companies dependent on amd, all consumers
• Winners: bureaucracy, government/regulators, dell, “competition” of amd i.e. nvidia&intel, financial institutions, black markets

Its probably sponsored by nvidia.

What the US really should do is to focus on maintaining its chip design leadership instead of trying to limit China’s progress

Chip design leadership = selling the same thing over and over right intel lol. Shocking how that isnt competitive with like, actually building all the things.
