US Senators call for a halt to Nvidia GPU exports in the wake of the Super Micro scandal — looming Chip Security Act may put a wrench into Huang’s China ambitions

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators is urging the government to take immediate action to halt the sale and export of Nvidia GPUs and server systems to China and southeast Asian countries, in the wake of the recent revelations around the Super Micro smuggling scandal.

U.S. Senators Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have penned a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick disputing Nvidia’s claims that it was unaware of GPUs and servers being diverted to China— part of an opereration to dodge sanctions on the lucrative technology.
