The US Department of Commerce has requested Nvidia to examine how its chips have reached China over the past year, prompting Nvidia to ask distributors like Super Micro and Dell to verify their customers in Southeast Asia. Some smugglers reportedly evaded detection during inspections by cloning serial numbers of Nvidia chips and altering them to evade restrictions. Despite stringent export controls, Nvidia's chips have still found their way to Chinese universities and research institutes.
