Discussion Gamers Nexus investigating Chinese GPU black market

[dlerious]

A little teaser from GN for a story on the Chinese black market for GPUs

Video is up now. Almost 3.5 hours.

No way I'm going to watch this. There's no excuse for being this long and I doubt that he really went that deep as he claims.

This guy makes mountains out of molehills.

PSST, come closer. I'll let you in on this big secret: the video is TIMESTAMPED. You can jump to any section and see the interview or part in question. He documented his entire visit there, multiple interviews and days of inquiring around to see how easy it is to get supposedly banned hardware at the street level.

But let me help you more, don't even click on the GN video again. Read this tweet below:

Nvidia’s revenue from Singapore reached a record high of $9 billion this quarter — accounting for 20% of total revenue.

This doesn't include an additional $5.5 billion in sales to China and Hong Kong. Combined, nearly $15 billion, or about one-third of all revenue this quarter, is tied to China, chip smuggling, and Chinese customers. Nvidia’s latest 10-Q includes the longest disclaimer they’ve ever written regarding Singapore revenue — seemingly an attempt to calm down those watch them.

See? We don't need to watched Christós's video.
You don't need to include "THE" investigation into your reporting, you just need to include some cuts to inlustrate the results of your investigation.
He must have uploaded his B-Roll by mistake.

This would be much better as a multi part series. I'm 2hrs in. 3 days later.

Bloomberg going after GN.

You may never finish it

I missed the video, why did Bloomberg take it down?

GN already said they're powerless to stop people from re-uploading this content elsewhere.

I bet it's because of sequences like this from their video, they used video feed from Bloomberg:

Louis Rossman goes off on Bloomberg

I watched the whole thing and found it pretty fascinating. (Glad I did before Bloomberg went after them)

The ease at which they can remove a 4090 24GB and turn it into a 4090 48GB on a custom PCB was eye opening.

So was how NV is playing all sides which ends up with them increasing “sales” to China without actually selling to China.
