If China invades Taiwan in 2023-2030, what will FLOP/s per dollar of top-ML GPUs be 5 years later?

1-2x FLOP/s per dollar

2-4x FLOP/s per dollar

>4x FLOP/s per dollar

IE what wil the ratio of top-ML GPU FLOP/s per dollar 5 years after invasion be to top-ML GPU FLOP/s per dollar before invasion.

I'll use the resolution criteria of this Metaculus question to operationalize invasion:

I feel like big tech would find the resources and will to counterfactually speed up top-ML chip production elsewhere by years. Or we'll get a world war with top-ML chip production falling worldwide and militaries acquiring a majority of the existing chips.
