The GPU Black Market Washington Cannot Shut Down

Original: The GPU Black Market That Washington Can't Shut Down

A new report describes a thriving black market for advanced GPUs that persists despite US export controls aimed at keeping cutting-edge chips out of restricted countries. Smugglers and intermediaries reportedly keep finding ways to move hardware around sanctions, undermining Washington's technology restrictions. The piece is drawing attention among technology and policy readers debating whether export controls can ever truly work.
