Nvidia GPU failures caused by material problem, sources claim
When Nvidia announced in early July that it has noticed a higher than normal failure rate in some of its notebook chips, investors reacted concerned, sending the company stock down 22%. The stock recovered after Nvidia apparently demonstrated good control of the issue and a one-time charge of almost $200 million. But what seems to be a closed chapter and a black eye for the company could be a much more serious problem that is just taking off: Several industry sources confirmed to TG Daily what has been reported by some publications for some time: In contrast to Nvidia’s claims that only a limited number of GPUs are affected, sources indicated that “most” recent Nvidia GPUs carry the problem and a chance of failure, pushing the potential damage into stratospheric regions.
