Of NVIDIAWe have learned that the brand is being investigated by the US Department of Justice. Chameleon is suspected of anti-competitive practices. The origin of this investigation? The fact that the company's AI boards are selling like hotcakes, despite being much more expensive than those of competitors Intel and AMD!
US Department of Justice on NVIDIA case!
From ChatGPT, artificial intelligence is clearly on the rise. In fact, since 2022, we have not stopped hearing about AI. However, this popularity is having a profound impact on the IT sector, so much so that the chameleon was named the company with the the highest valuation in the stock market!
Over the past two years, the green company has established itself as the number 1 in AI hardware, with products such as the H100 and A100. In the near future, the company will be releasing even more powerful GPUs from the Blackwell generation.
However, even if these products sell like hotcakes (the brand sends whole loads of cards), are still very expensive. Currently, you can expect to pay between $30,000 and $40,000 for an H100 (depending on the version), while AMD's equivalent competitor, the Instinct MI300X, sells for $10,000.
This is why the US Department of Justice has become interested in the brand. How is it possible that a company that sells its products at a price three times higher than that of its main competitor has an 80% market share? The US justice system suspects anti-competitive practices such as forced sales.
The company has already been caught red-handed in the past. We remember the GeForce Partner Program A few years ago. More recently, Rumors have been circulating that the company is not playing fair with its partners who join Intel for GPU Battlemage.
Now we just have to wait and see what the results of the investigation are, but for that… patience.
