Chinese factories dismantle RTX 5090 cards to reuse their chips in AI servers
According to specialist outlet HKEPC, Chinese workshops dismantle new Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics cards to extract the GPU chip and GDDR7 memory modules and assemble them onto custom-designed boards for AI servers, with turbine cooling systems. They are estimated to be able to transform thousands of units per day, even though US trade restrictions bar Nvidia from selling its most powerful GPUs, such as the RTX 5090, in China. In the US, stores such as Micro Center ask some buyers to sign a declaration not to take the cards out of the country.
