Nvidia stops all product sales to Russia

Nvidia has just confirmed that it is stopping all product sales to Russia after it invaded Ukraine. “We are not selling to Russia,” an Nvidia spokesman said.

The company did not elaborate on the sales suspension, but it appears to cover all Nvidia products.

Other major US tech companies have also halted sales to Russia, over the war against Ukraine. On Friday, Microsoft called the invasion “illegal” and announced it would suspend “all sales” of the company’s products to the country, including the Windows operating system, Microsoft cloud services and the Xbox console.

Last week AMD and Intel also said they would stop all chip sales to Russia and Belarus, the country’s ally in the Ukraine invasion. “We will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine and the world community in calling for an immediate end to this war and a speedy return to peace,” Intel wrote in its own announcement.

Such suspensions will make it difficult for users based in Russia who want to build a PC through official channels in the country. But for now, it’s unclear whether third-party companies in the PC ecosystem, such as laptop and GPU makers, will also stop product shipments to Russia.
