Nvidia customer Megaspeed says it cooperated with US inspections, takes export control laws seriously

Singapore-based cloud computing firm Megaspeed said it takes US export control obligations extremely seriously and has cooperated with inspections by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Its chairman said the company hired an American law firm to review its graphics processors and independently check its compliance practices.

What happened

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said several U.S. agencies have supported adding Megaspeed to a restricted-entity list for months, while Commerce leads that process. Megaspeed says it cooperated with inspections and hired a U.S. law firm to review its graphics processors and export-control practices. Super Micro says Megaspeed was never its customer.

Global impact / market context

The scrutiny concerns alleged diversion of restricted Nvidia chips to China. A possible restriction could affect Megaspeed’s access to those chips, but the supplied facts do not say that a restriction has been imposed. The review’s outcome may also matter to companies watching U.S. chip export controls.

What to watch

  1. Check whether Commerce announces a decision on adding Megaspeed to the restricted-entity list; it would show whether the process has advanced.
  2. Check what Megaspeed’s law-firm review says about its graphics processors and export-control practices; the company says the review is intended to check compliance.
  3. Check whether Megaspeed or Super Micro changes its statements about cooperation or their business relationship; Super Micro says Megaspeed was never its customer.
