Embargos will always have limited effect and legislators know that. If the Russians pay "just" 10% more for GPUs, that's not sanctions failing, but sanctions working. They're all about making things harder and/or more expensive to get. If things are too easy to get, you tighten the sanctions, i.e. cut supply for the/some companies in question. Is that the case tho?
