So, we're going cut the Organization in for 15% of your sales to the commies. For now. Cause you know the big boss changes his mind a lot and is really bad at math, so next month it might be 1500%, ya' know!"
Lauren WeinsteinIn bizarre agreement, Nvidia and AMD agree to pay U.S. government 15% of AI Chip Sales to China.
