Tom's Hardware reports that Nvidia has culled its authorized customer list by more than half in a major crackdown on AI chip smuggling into China.
The company sent field inspectors to data centers, verified contracts, and interviewed end users to weed out shell companies.
Key numbers from the report: - $2.5 billion in Nvidia hardware allegedly smuggled (Supermicro co-founder arrested) - $42M Singapore mansion seized tied to GPU smugglers - Taiwanese authorities raided Supermicro offices and supply chain partners - Domestic Chinese AI chip suppliers are fully sold out This is the reality of the GPU supply chain right now.
Access is tightening.
Legitimate compute is harder to find.
BHK Cloud has RTX 3090s at $0.15/hr with no supply chain drama.
