Singapore-based Aperia Cloud Services, a former Nvidia Cloud Partner, supplied some equipment.The article says Aperia bought 22 Dell Technologies servers with Nvidia H800 CPUs. The US prohibited semiconductor shipments to China in 2023.Dell discontinued Aperia sales and support in February 2025 due to unlawful diversion.Documents also included 52 Super Micro Computer servers with Nvidia H100 or H200 processors that need U.S. export approval to China.Super Micro claimed the servers were supplied in accordance with export rules and denied selling chips to Shanghai-based enterprises.Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing committed 193 servers as collateral for funding in January 2025.Huang started Shanghai Longteng but sold it in 2017. Her sister became majority stockholder.The records did not show how all the servers reached the data center or if Nvidia, Dell, or Super Micro deliberately violated export prohibitions.The results raise semiconductor supply chain worries after Jensen Huang's resignation. Investors will monitor legislative changes and Nvidia's earnings report for business exposure.
