This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And exports from non US, or Taiwan Semi Conductors to the OEMs. Surely they have no jurisdiction, and contracts and purchase orders are probably in place until next gen 50x cards. It's just a knee jerked reaction of being outdone. There will be no impact outside the gamer sat in second fiddle to the NSA getting first dibs. US market only.
They have jurisdiction over companies based on the us and can punish them for the actions of their overseas interests.
They have derivatives of certain chips for the Chinese market only. They must have clauses to pre-empt such actions.
If the government decides to restrict exports of something this trumps any and all existing contracts regarding the now restricted thing.
