The BBC says Nvidia has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised and has opened an independent inquiry. What happens next will depend on the board’s search for a permanent chief and whether the inquiry changes the picture. Can Nvidia’s chip business convincingly stand apart from the founder who has led it since 1993?
