Nvidia Gets DOJ Subpoena in Escalating Antitrust Probe
- Department also sent subpoenas to third parties in case
- Nvidia has built a dominant position in AI computing
The US Justice Department sent subpoenas to Nvidia Corp. 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. That takes the government a step closer to launching a formal complaint.
