    Get every flagship CPU and GPU from 2000 to today that I can get my hands on.

    What use is that? Without the asml duv lithography machine, no one could duplicate it. And you’d have no motherboard to plug those chips into.

      Honestly, I don’t know for sure since I’m not an expert; my reasoning was the hope that being able to examine the entire line of advancement would allow the necessary technical knowledge to be extracted and duplicated. I knew that just bringing the latest one would definitely do nothing.

        If looking at a 5nm chip was all that was needed to make a copy, China would already be selling RTX 4090 clones.
