Nvidia is reportedly rushing shipments of RTX 4090s to China ahead of expected export restrictions, according to three separate reports. The company's add-in-board (AIB) partners are hard at work producing RTX 4090 products for the Chinese market ahead of Nov. 16. However, it is unclear whether exports of the SKU will actually be restricted.
"Nvidia has been shipping tons of AD102 for [add-in-cards] this week to manufacture as [many] RTX 4090 as possible before the original restriction date of RTX 4090 [exports to] China," wrote @Zed_Wang, a well-known hardware leaker who tends to have accurate information about Nvidia. "It is still unclear whether the restriction will become true or not. But all AICs are at their full power in producing RTX 4090, regardless of that."
