I’m not an expert but economic damage seems to me plausibly like a question of implementation details. E.g. if you ask for a stop in hardware improvements at the same time as implementing hardware-level compute monitoring, this likely requires development of new technology to do efficiently which may allow the current companies to maintain their leading position.
Of course, restrictions are going to have some effect, and plausibly may hit Nvidia’s valuation but it is not at all clear that the economic consequences would necessarily be dramatic (the situation of the car industry and switching to E.V.’s might be vaguely analogous).
