>Russia’s export restriction of noble gases will aggravate global semiconductor supply bottleneck
>RT reported that noble gases such as neon, argon, xenon, and others are crucial for semiconductor manufacturing. Russia supplies up to 30 percent of the neon consumed globally, RT reported, citing the newspaper Izvestia.
>According to a China Securities research report, the restrictions will possibly exacerbate the supply shortage of chips in the global market and further increase prices. The impact of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict on the semiconductor supply chain is growing with the upstream raw material segment bearing the brunt.
>As China is the world's largest chip consumer and highly dependent on imported chips, the restriction might affect the country's domestic semiconductor manufacturing, Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Beijing-based Information Consumption Alliance, told the Global Times on Monday.
>Xiang said that China imported around $300 billion worth of chips in 2021, used for producing cars, smartphones, computers, televisions and other smart devices.
>The China Securities report said that neon, helium and other noble gases are indispensable raw materials for semiconductor manufacturing. For instance, neon plays a vital role in the refinement and stability of the engraved circuit and chip making process.

Who gives a shit? Why are you buying expensive GPUs in the first place? Do you have autism or something? Are you still playing games like a fucking child?

Noble gases are mostly mined in Ukraine and eastern Poland, Russia has nothing to do with it

no the Ukrainian government is guilty of not surrendering and letting east Ukraine suffer while the west keeps fleeing to the rest of Germany for quick gibs. They could have ended this war in less than a week if they just surrendered and Russia would have withdrawn only had to hand over azov and acknowledge a option of Donbas being independent sometime in the future i.e. fucking nothing.

Its so they can strategically negotiate a 80% reduction in price
Every extra dollar I spend on gas, videocards (lmao), or otherwise, I give with a happy heart, knowing I am doing my small part in killing more Russians.
The Russian boogyman is not gonna get you they're busy being a degenerate whorehouse that is too corrupt to be a threat to anyone

>The Russian boogyman is not gonna get you >they're busy being a degenerate whorehouse that is too corrupt to be a threat to anyone That's exactly why they are a threat. Russia is like a crackhouse country full of prostitutes, it shouldn't have access to nukes at all. I'd trust Iran with them before Russia
