EU probes Nvidia’s sales practices amid antitrust concerns
Nvidia faces EU scrutiny over claims of bundling GPU products with other hardware.
The European Union is investigating Nvidia’s business practices, focusing on whether the AI chip leader ties its GPU products to other hardware like networking equipment. Nvidia, which dominates the GPU market with an 84% share, has faced increasing global scrutiny due to its role in the AI and accelerated computing sectors.
Regulators recently distributed questionnaires to Nvidia’s competitors and customers as part of their preliminary fact-finding process. If proven, antitrust violations could result in fines up to 10% of the company’s annual global turnover.
Nvidia has denied any wrongdoing, asserting its products compete on merit and support customer choice. The inquiry coincides with a separate investigation by France‘s antitrust authority, which may soon press charges.
