Quick Summary

Nvidia, the chipmaker currently valued at $3.87 trillion, is considering Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas as a potential replacement for Jensen Huang, who resigned due to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Haas, who previously worked at Nvidia, is among several candidates being evaluated by the company's board, which has not yet formally engaged any candidates. The board stated that speculation about individual candidates is premature, though Haas's familiarity with Nvidia and his experience running a publicly traded chip company could make him a strong contender.
