輝達執行長黃仁勳因婚外情遭撤換,其過去積極推動的供應鏈投資與合作模式面臨變數。
隨著黃仁勳去職,台韓供應商恐需重新制定布局計畫。
《路透》報導,從韓國記憶體巨頭到台灣的先進晶片製造業者,輝達亞洲夥伴與供應商都在重新制定計畫,以因應執行長黃仁勳因接連爆出婚外情而遭撤換的局面。
台灣一名供應商高層說,「輝達需要的產能,我們都支持,但新執行長或許不會像黃仁勳那樣積極」。他憂心如果接任者不會像黃仁勳那樣快速鎖定產能,公司的擴張或許放緩。
黃仁勳的去職將使人工智慧(AI)產業失去一位最積極的提倡者。Counterpoint Research研究副總裁莎赫(Neil Shah)說,「沒有黃仁勳的職掌,我們可能會看到輝達在積極的新生態系層級的投資,以及獲利豐厚的雙邊AI基礎設施的交易放緩」。
黃仁勳透過頻繁訪問台灣,建立強大的供應商網絡。今年5月,他宣布輝達計畫每年投資台灣1500億美元。
天風國際分析師郭明錤說,「黃仁勳能夠將工程師認為可行的技術轉化為整個公司投入資源、承擔風險,並必須交付的產品;這就是為何供應鏈能取得如此強勁的訂單能見度,並且願意跟上積極的升級步伐,這也迫使對手跟進,從而推動整個AI產業的技術升級與供應鏈投資」。
韓國是輝達AI所需高頻寬記憶體的關鍵供應地。韓國網路公司Naver創辦人LeeHae-jin說,在他訪問美國期間,黃仁勳親自在白板上勾勒出合作路線圖。
一位與輝達有業務往來的韓國晶片公司高層說,「多年來,我們與黃仁勳建立了穩固的關係。」他指出,每當需要討論業務問題時,黃仁勳都非常平易近人,「我們最大的疑問是,繼任者是能否與我們保持同樣的良好關係」。
Omdia首席分析師Lian Jye Su說,黃仁勳的離職可能會改變輝達的長期發展方向,任何執行速度的放緩或產品路線圖的模糊不清都可能給競爭對手更多追趕的機會。

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang announced his resignation on November 12 due to two extramarital affairs scandals that were exposed in succession.

Huida CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced his resignation on the 12th and was temporarily replaced by Chief Financial Officer Claire. This caused Huida's stock price to plummet by more than 10%, dragging down the Nasdaq index to fall by more than 300 points in early trading, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also fell significantly.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced his resignation, and CFO Colette Kress took over as interim CEO. The move triggered shocks in stock prices and intensified political pressure on U.S. chip export controls to China. Chinese technology companies are accelerating the rush to rent overseas computing power to cope with potential cloud access restrictions.

It was revealed that Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had an extramarital affair with senior executive Kimberly Powell, coupled with the previous scandal involving Chinese spy Huang Le, causing the company's market value to evaporate by US$500 billion. The board is rumored to be looking for a successor, and the U.S. Congress has asked Huang to attend a briefing to explain the risks.
