Megaspeed draws scrutiny as Nvidia probe widens over CEO affair
What's new: The Singapore cloud firm markets Nvidia GPU access in Southeast Asia and has faced prior questions over possible China links.
Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed moved into the spotlight as Nvidia's board investigates national security concerns tied to CEO Jensen Huang's admitted affair. CNBC reported that Megaspeed sells access to Nvidia GPUs and other computing capacity hosted in Southeast Asian data centers for companies running AI projects. The company describes itself as a core regional partner for Nvidia's computing cloud business and operates offices in Singapore and Indonesia. The report said Megaspeed has previously faced media and government scrutiny over whether some of its GPUs were redirected to China, an issue that matters because US export controls restrict sales of some advanced chips to China while remote access remains a separate question.
