TECHnalysis Research chief analyst Bob O'Donnell says the probe is unlikely to have much of an impact on Nvidia, particularly in the near term, because most of its most advanced chips are already restricted from being sold into China

The statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation announcing the probe did not elaborate on how the US company, known for its artificial intelligence and gaming chips, might have violated China’s anti-monopoly laws. Last week, four of China’s top industry associations issued a rare and coordinated response saying that Chinese companies should be wary of buying US chips as they were “no longer safe” and should buy locally instead.

The investigation comes after the U.S. last week launched its third crackdown in three years on China’s semiconductor industry, which saw Washington curb exports to 140 companies, including chip equipment makers. “It’s clear that the Chinese government is trying to react against recent restrictions from the US, but their ability to impact the US semiconductor industry continues to decrease over time,” O’Donnell said.

Nvidia and the merged entity were set multiple conditions, requiring them to supply GPU accelerators to the Chinese market on “fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory” terms.
