Nvidia’s China Customers to Get Hobbled Version of Gaming Chip

(Bloomberg) — Nvidia Corp., the world’s most valuable chipmaker, is selling a less-capable version of its best graphics product for video gamers in China, after the U.S. government tightened restrictions on what the company can market in that country. 

The version of the GTX 4090 D chip that is listed for sale on Nvidia’s China website has about 10% fewer processing cores than the 4090 that is sold in other countries.
