In an audacious move amidst the US export restrictions on high-performance chips, Chinese tech enterprises have started to deconstruct Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics cards to repurpose their parts for artificial intelligence systems.

Specialists are carefully extracting the memory and graphics processors from these cards, then re-soldering them onto new circuit boards, enabling the launch of the large AI models. It's reported that Nvidia had delivered a significant shipment of RTX 4090 units just before these export limitations were enforced.

Consequently, the Chinese market is now flooded with leftover components from these disassembled graphics cards, including cooling systems and circuit boards, now being sold at exceptionally low prices. Consequently, many are stockpiling these components for potential future repairs.
