In 2030, the Nvidia H100 will be an archaeological relic that can be dug up by treasure hunters somewhere in a hidden treasure cave.

One, I'm wondering why Russia is broadcasting these kinds of ideas/plans out in the open while they are at war and are not suppose to be able to import them.
Two, there's an easy way around the "import" problem, if they really wanted them. Just not something I'm going to post online.
It does kinda suck that some of these restrictions kinda hurt the world at large. The creator of MSI Afterburner is from Russia, and him upgrading that has gotten complicated.

It's just an advertisement for Nvidia. With an unusual layout.
There is not even a hint as to the origin of the intent information. Whether Russia as a state uttered it, through its government spokesman, or whether it came from declared claims of private companies that someone summarized.

You need to remember that while they cannot buy directly from Nvidia since they are a sanctioned nation, but it does not stop them from buying from partner nations. US can limit Nvidia from selling to China, Russia, etc, but to stop Nvidia from selling to half of the world that are friendly nations to both China and Russia, I am not sure if that is possible. They will probably put Nvidia out of business.

Broadcasting and actually going through with it are two different things in russia, they say a lot of things but nothing happens. T14 armatas, medvedev nuking everyone, super soldiers... list goes on.
