Maximum cap on cloud partner business allocated to China
Why It Matters
- Chinese entities have acquired over one million gaming and workstation GPUs to bypass export controls.
- The 49% cap targets overseas cloud brokers routing high-end hardware into restricted markets.
- Homelab and enterprise workstation availability could shift as regional cloud allocations tighten.
