    I do wonder how well these restrictions work. I have a feeling they only create a black market.

        In the west and under the law of the country the company operates, yes. But this is ultimately a US protectionist act that does not carry nearly the same weight overseas. Admittedly I have no idea how the US is even remotely able to enforce this - by providing more sanctions/restrictions? They might have power over US companies that sell abroad, but after it’s sold I don’t see how they’re preventing this hardware from being sold again to any other country or company.

      I’m interested in seeing the kind of acceleration libraries pop up as RISCV starts to extend into GPU territory.
