INTEL: Megaspeed denies diverting Nvidia chips to China as CEO calls ties ‘normal’

Update (29 Oct 2026): Megaspeed has denied diverting Nvidia chips to China, and the CEO has called ties to the firm “normal”.

Megaspeed has denied diverting Nvidia chips to China. The CEO has described the ties to the firm as “normal”. The denial covers one point only, the alleged diversion of Nvidia chips to China. It is Megaspeed’s own position. A denial challenges a claim but does not independently show it to be false.

The story began when Nvidia told CNBC that Jensen Huang’s interactions with Megaspeed were not unusual. That first report gave no detail on what the interactions involved or what prompted the comment.

Much is still unclear from the material available. It does not give the full wording of the denial or of the CEO’s comment. It does not say who raised the question of chip diversion, what evidence was cited, or what the ties between the two companies consist of. It also does not describe any finding, inquiry or allegation from a regulator or other third party.

Both the denial and the description of the ties as “normal” come from the parties involved, and neither has been independently verified in the material available. Nvidia’s earlier statement that the interactions were not unusual is likewise the company’s own characterization.

This article will be updated if the full statements, the origin of the diversion question, or any official response becomes available.
