China launches an antitrust investigation into Nvidia as it wrestles with the US over AI chip sanctions
China has launched an antitrust investigation into Nvidia over possible violations of the country's anti-monopoly laws in connection with its 2020 acquisition of Israeli chip maker Mellanox Technologies. A Bloomberg report (via The Verge) says the Chinese government approved the $7 billion deal on the condition that Nvidia not discriminate against Chinese companies, and that Mellanox provide samples of new products to competing companies within 90 days of making them available to Nvidia to ensure they can maintain performance parity.
