US AI chip ban drives up prices for Nvidia RTX 5090 before its launch

The latest US prohibition is prompting Chinese firms to step up their chip purchases, which is resulting in a surge in demand and prices for Nvidia's RTX 5090 GPU before its release, according to industry sources.

If it was that easy, AMD would have taken over the market share LMAO

It's never easy..doesn't mean they don't start anywhere...pressure is what pushes industries towards innovation. Positive pressure is always good. If industries keep relying on amd and nvidia they will not get anywhere. If they can reach even 50-60% the performance on their own it will still be a good achievement. But needs to start somewhere. This is good in a way. Giants like China and Russia need to be cornered to built something that would break usa monopoly.
 
Well the problem is all of the packages and libraries you can find related to ML and AI have been programmed keeping in mind an NVIDIA GPU. And this was not overnight as well.
They introduced CUDA in 2006 and encouraged development on it then finally AlexNet happened in 2012 and that's where everything took off.

NVIDIA doesn't have good support on Linux and it's due to their drivers being closed source so all the Linux users prefer AMD GPUs but still they haven't found a replacement for the kind of performance NVIDIA is able to provide for training models.

If any company were to be motivated enough to research on a replacement for CUDA, it would take years before it would be feasible (that's not even a guarantee) and the R&D cost would be insane. Intel OneAPI and AMD ROCm are two examples of companies trying.

One can hope for a miracle and it could happen that there'll be a competitor in the future so let's see. But US is hell bent on keeping their lead on AI hence why they are putting such sanctions on the export of NVIDIA GPUs.

Buddy, it's not from scratch it's the age of internet, all information can be sourced, bought it depends how deep your pockets are. We the general populace don't have or know such resources exist. Let's wait and watch how this turns out. All I know is unless a person/company/country is pushed development and breakthroughs won't happen. Also any new development needs to start somewhere. If we keep finding excuses then out own isro would not have been this successful now and nasa would still be laughing at us. Lets wait and let it play out.

Just like how Intels Arc failed?

Failure you say, attempt 1 or xx I say, with each attempt you learn and move forward until the money runs out, then you sell to someone who moves from there. Nvidia also would have failed all big tech companies have failed once or twice or many times, bulldozer was a $hit show but paved a way for ryzen. 2013 people thought amd is done, 2025 they almost choked out their competitor/s
