Nvidia facing antitrust probe by US DoJ

[Daniel Puchert]

Nvidia dominance in the crosshairs

The US Justice Department sent subpoenas to Nvidia and other companies as it seeks evidence that the chipmaker violated antitrust laws, an escalation of its investigation into the dominant provider of AI processors.

The DOJ, which had previously delivered questionnaires to companies, is now sending legally binding requests that oblige recipients to provide information, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Nvidia is swimming in money. They can make all of this disappear. Just need to grease a few palms and execute 1 or 2 and done and dusted.

or maybe Nvidias rivals like AMD seeing their success, greased a few palms of their own, to bring about this probe?

stands to Reason justice costs money and people spend tons getting results against their rivals.

 

[Apogee]

Nvidia seems to have hit some rough waters.

Anti-trust investigations are very necessary, but I also have to play devils advocate and ask the question "what if the reason for your market dominance is because you make the best product?"

I'll play the ANC card, no one is allowed to dominate and everyone should have a equally terrible product.

Actually remind me of Intel dominance on the market and was found guilty for manipulating market to buy only Intel even when AMD had a better product.

This happens all the time always someone that's either cheating or is a cry baby because they missed out.

They also sell to the US's adversaries. Competitors also don't like to play second string.

but stands to reason with the amount of money thrown at issues,
somebody would find a judge who wanted a new holiday home in Florida.
