Selling Nvidia's H200 Chips To China Is Like 'Selling Nuclear Weapons To North Korea'
The semiconductor industry has always been a theatre of rapid transformation, where each era’s "gold rush" redefined the limits of human capability.
At their core, semiconductors are materials, most commonly silicon, that possess a unique physical property: they can both conduct and insulate electricity. Unlike a copper wire that always allows current to flow, or rubber that always blocks it, a semiconductor's conductivity can be precisely toggled on or off.
