The fate of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang may be decided within a few hours. According to The Wall Street Journal, the company's board of directors met at night to discuss whether to remove him from his position.

Tech website 9to5Mac indicates that Jensen Huang's dismissal now seems almost certain, and it might even be presented as a voluntary resignation, but no official decision has been announced yet.

After The New York Times disclosed the second relationship, pressure rose rapidly. The report stated that the person involved in this relationship was Kimberly Powell, the vice president of NVIDIA's medical business, who reported directly to Jensen Huang.

Previously, on November 8th, Jensen Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a former executive of Megaspeed. American intelligence agencies are alleged to suspect that Alice Huang is engaged in espionage activities for China.

Bloomberg reported that Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress is the most likely candidate to take over, at least initially in a temporary capacity.

Apple's hardware chief, Johny Srouji, is also on the list of candidates. He was responsible for Apple's in-house chip development project, but 9to5Mac suggests that the likelihood of Srouji taking over now seems slim.
