Nvidia chips banned for China found in Shanghai data center

novinky.cz (Czech) —

US-made AI chips subject to export restrictions reached a large data center in Shanghai, linked to a company connected to businesswoman Alice Huang, whose relationship with longtime Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang contributed to his Thursday departure. Bloomberg reported servers with Nvidia H800, H100, and H200 chips were found in Shanghai, some originally sold to Singapore's Aperia Cloud Services, an official Nvidia partner. Chinese documents show hardware ended up with Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing, founded by Huang, including 22 Dell servers with H800 chips. Dell ended sales to Aperia in February 2025 over suspected diversion, and Singapore authorities arrested Aperia's CEO. Super Micro denied supplying Chinese firms, while documents don't prove who transported the chips or Huang's personal involvement.
