But this morning, The Information, a major tech news outlet, reported that the relationship may have helped move at least $7.5 billion worth of chips over several years to Chinese firms, including some banned for sale in China. To be clear, these are still just allegations and nothing has been proven -- Reuters said that it could not independently verify the report -- but The Information is a highly reputable news outlet and its reporting should be taken seriously. Nvidia's political risk could outweigh near-term revenue risk This isn't the sort of thing that shows up in the next quarterly report, but if there is truth to these allegations, it could have major ramifications for the company.
