there was a massive theft GPUs or nvidia chips themselves just days before this came out. the chip can be used to in the computer system, usually navigation, inside of ICBMs. hence they are prohibited from going to china.

    With respect, humanity has been able to navigate ICBMs before Nvidia chips came along. Not saying you’re wrong about something being stolen, but the link to ICBM navigation seems rather teneous.

    i am saying you are wrong. humanity has not been able to navigate ICBMs. only major nuclear powers can. US allies get their nukes loaned to them from the US. China caused a playstion 2 shortage 20+ years ago just to get the chips because it was more powerful then what they had. you should do some research.

    I mean, what?! How do you think France built its SLBMs in 1972? With Nvidia chips? lol.

    Its a ballistic missile - we’ve known ballistic trajectories calculations since artillery became common. Yeah, they get more precise with star navigation and gyroscopes but if you can launch a rocket, you have to know roughly where it lands. The rest is just mega tonnage.

    i apologize for being rude. this is not my opinion on why the tech was prohibited from going to china, this has been law for decades until recently. saying other wise is like saying the earth is flat.

    You just made my argument for me. glad we can establish that more powerful chips make missels more accurate lol do you finally understand why china is not allowed to have them, or need me to anwser more dumb questions that you could have just read about?

    A gyroscope is not a computer chip, it’s a gyroscope.

    Celestial navigation is based on cameras and processing that can be done by the kind of chip that sits on a bank card.

    I think at this point nothing more is gained from this discussion. Have a good day.

    Do you still think they use tech from the 1950s? they still use the same mechanical systems but have been improved with computers, making them more accurate. why is this necessary? because sending an object to the edge of our atmosphere and having it still hit its target accurately is difficult and having a powerful computer to make micro corrections every millisecond is required.
