Briefings

Bloomberg reported that Nvidia intervened in a U.S. probe regarding Megaspeed chip smuggling by providing incomplete data to the BIS. Nvidia visited 12 facilities across Southeast Asia in 2025, declared inventory checks complete in mid-November, and claimed no need to cut off business. However, trade records show Nvidia undercounted sold chips to Megaspeed via hardware partners by 50,000 units, valued at billions of dollars, after being asked to clarify the discrepancy.

Key points

• Nvidia visited 12 Megaspeed data center facilities across three Southeast Asian countries in 2025.
• Nvidia undercounted sold chips to Megaspeed via hardware partners by 50,000 units, valued at billions of dollars.

Context

Nvidia intervened in a U.S. probe of Megaspeed chip smuggling by providing incomplete data to the BIS. The company visited 12 facilities across Southeast Asia in 2025 and claimed no need to cut off business, though trade records show a 50,000-unit undercount.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the period from mid-November 2025 to December 2025. Specific details on chip quantities found in additional warehouses are unavailable. The 50,000-unit undercount is based on trade records analyzed by Bloomberg, not confirmed official figures.
