Tencent stockpiles 10 000 NVIDIA A800 chips (most close relative to GeForce 30 series), just before sanctions took power, to make their own AI.
This number considered enough, to work at least 18 months without access to new chips, and to make a couple of AI models generations.
Yes, I hear many times, that Chinese stockpiles huge amount of money and valuables, before this economic war, now will see, how long could withstand such war economy model :)
