China has been affected by restrictions on artificial intelligence hardware by the United States government, and with these regulations several vendors of graphics cardslike NVIDIA, can no longer sell their AI products to this Asian country.
This is causing a curious movement in mainland China, where NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 are becoming improvised artificial intelligence solutions.
According to several users from the Chinese Baidu forums, specialized factories are being formed in China that make modifications to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090and we already told you that it is not exactly for games.
And the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are prepared for the different models of artificial intelligence and to overcome the restrictions of the United States government, the factories are giving a new life to these graphics cards that, instead of focusing them on games, They are focusing them on artificial intelligence.

Workers in these Chinese factories are disassembling the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 to transform them into AI solutions.
To do this, they dismantle the coolers and then remove everything, including the GPU and GDDR6X memory, from the main PCB.
Each of these cards is equipped with a dual-slot cooler, which uses a blower-style design designed for large server environments, where there are multiple GPUs working together, effectively dissipating heat.
After this process, a new solution is created focused on the artificial intelligence of these graphics cards, which are subsequently subjected to a series of performance tests. and then send them to clients who work on artificial intelligence.
