The new rules aim to restrict access to mainstream computing applications, including technology currently available in gaming PCs and consumer hardware. While presented as an anti-China measure, NVIDIA contends that these restrictions would affect technology deployment worldwide and ultimately weaken America's competitive position in the global market.
