Why do they care if China gets their IP? Isnt Nvidia done making consumer grade electronics?

    There is more money to be made in commercial hardware than in consumer.

    If all those datacenters get access to a lower cost equivalent that'll poke a hole in Nvidia's profits (and therefore shareholder value).

    While China's GPU game a still a fair bit behind, however their CPU tech is catching up.

    Loongson is a great example. Using their own ISA, their LA664 based chips could match Zen 2 processors on many general purpose tasks and the next gen LA864's are looking to make another jump. Yes, they are behind but this companies chips from a decade back could barely compete with a Pentium 3. They are hungry and moving fast.
