News Nvidia cuts down the China-specific RTX 5090D AI TOPS performance by almost 23% to meet US export guidelines

The only discrepancy exists in AI performance which has been dialed down from 3,352 AI TOPS on the RTX 5090 to 2,375 AI TOPS on the RTX 5090D; a 29% reduction. The RTX 5090D operates at the very edge of US export guidelines with a reported TPP hitting 4,750, only 50 points below the limit.
Isn't 2375 TOPS still a lot more than the 4090?

Inb4 the 5090D gets unlocked to fulfill its true potential.
 
I was thinking a long the same lines- doesn't this mean that the 5090 is less than 23% more powerful than the 4090. If they just dealt it back to 4090 level= it wouldn't pass the embargo.
