中国反垄断监管机构认定英伟达收购美光科技存在违规行为

摘要

中国国家市场监督管理总局初步认定英伟达在2020年收购美光科技过程中违反了反垄断法律,可能面临重大罚款或经营限制。

中国国家市场监督管理总局(SAMR)初步认定英伟达在2020年收购美光科技过程中违反了反垄断法律。该调查于2024年底启动,重点审查英伟达是否遵守交易批准时设定的条件,包括承诺在中国公平提供GPU加速器和美光网络设备的访问权,避免强制捆绑和差别待遇等反竞争行为。

虽然具体违规细节尚未披露,初步调查结果显示英伟达可能面临处罚,包括罚款金额为其上一年度销售额的1%至10%,或在中国境内的经营限制。英伟达发言人表示:“我们努力在每个地区提供最优质的产品,并在所有业务领域履行承诺。我们乐意回答监管机构对我们业务的任何疑问。”

此事发生在美中半导体技术与贸易政策紧张局势加剧之际。美国已对中国半导体产业实施出口管制,而中国则以禁止向美国出口关键矿产等措施进行回应。

英伟达于2020年以69亿美元收购美光,旨在提升其数据中心和高性能计算能力。该交易最初获得中国监管机构批准,附带确保中国市场公平竞争和准入的条件。

国家市场监督管理总局的初步裁定为英伟达在中国这一重要市场带来了更多挑战。此次调查结果可能对英伟达在该地区的运营和战略布局产生重大影响。
