Nvidia halves Asia buyer list in China chip crackdown: Report
Nvidia has more than halved the number of Asian customers authorised to buy its AI chips after introducing a “white list” of companies that passed tougher compliance checks to prevent the products from reaching China, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Over the past few months, Nvidia has stepped up due diligence in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, the report said, citing three people familiar with the matter.
More than half of its previous customers, particularly neo-cloud providers, failed the initial review and were removed from the list, though they can reapply after making changes, the report added.
