Nvidia is also in trouble as the US Justice Department sent subpoenas to the company as it seeks evidence that the chipmaker violated antitrust laws.
The DOJ had previously delivered questionnaires to companies and is now sending legally binding requests that oblige recipients to provide information, people in the know told Bloomberg.
Following this, the US government is likely to launch a formal complaint against Nvidia as well, the report claimed.
