Nvidia denies cutting GPU supplies to China — chipmaker fires back at ‘recent false rumors’ aired on social media

Nvidia issued a statement denying that it had cut off the supply of graphics cards to the Chinese market. exist a post On Nvidia’s official Chinese Weibo account, the graphics chip maker characterized talk of cutting supplies to China as “false rumors” and reiterated its commitment to providing products and services to Chinese customers.

Nvidia shared the above post three hours ago. Google The simplified Chinese text converted by Translate is as follows:

In response to recent false rumors about NVIDIA cutting off supply to the Chinese market, we hereby declare:
China is an important market for Nvidia. NVIDIA adheres to its original intention of putting customers first and will continue to provide Chinese customers with the highest quality and most efficient products and services.

These rumors were serious enough to prompt denials from Nvidia’s official China account. We found no examples of such rumors on Chinese social media. However, some early Chinese tech media reports highlighted unusual events at Nvidia’s flagship Tmall store in China.

according to beta versionNVIDIA has removed all its products from the Tmall store. Visitors to the store will now see a message stating “No search results. No products matching the keyword were found” (machine translation). According to Chinese sources, only Nvidia GPUs from other vendors package desktop and system links. As of this writing, you can see in the screenshot below that the Nvidia flagship store remains empty. We didn’t enter any search terms; this is the flagship store landing page.

From the comments we read on Nvidia’s Weibo denying the rumors, it seems likely that these comments were triggered (at least in part) by the removal of GeForce stock from Tmall.
