Nvidia is closing its office and leaving Russia entirely.

Nvidia will close its Russian office by the end of October 2022 due to “the inability to ensure effective employee performance,” Forbes reports.

The company is evacuating employees who have agreed to relocate to other countries on chartered flights. For those who decline the relocation, the tech giant will terminate their contracts by mutual agreement with severance pay.

Until February, the chipmaker's Russian office employed around 300 people; currently, there are 240 left—mostly engineers.

An Nvidia representative did not comment on the reports of employees being evacuated on chartered planes, but confirmed that the company announced the closure of its Russian office on September 30.

In March, the tech giant suspended product sales in the country.

In the summer, Nvidia stopped renewing new licenses for cloud gaming software for Russian companies. Kommersant's sources reported that this could complicate the work of supercomputers at Yandex, Sberbank, and MTS, which use A100 and DGX-2 accelerators.
