The exchange followed reports that Nvidia's board may remove Huang. The Wall Street Journal said directors are preparing to oust him following the latest allegations.
Bloomberg reported that Nvidia has enlisted an outside firm to help find possible replacements. Semafor said CFO Colette Kress is under consideration for an interim CEO role.
Nvidia's board has faced a succession question since Sunday, when Huang acknowledged an affair with Alice Huang, a data center executive at one of the company's largest customers in Southeast Asia. The New York Times has reported she was suspected of acting as an agent for the Chinese government.
Late Wednesday, the Times also reported, citing unidentified former employees, that Huang had been in a relationship with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.
