Nvidia has approached the boss of Britain's biggest tech firm to replace Jensen Huang after he resigned in the wake of his affair with an alleged Chinese spy.

Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas, who previously worked at Nvidia, is being lined up as a potential successor, according to reports.

Huang stepped down on Thursday after revelations about his extramarital affairs plunged the chipmaker into crisis.

He confessed to having an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive at a company based in Singapore, who had allegedly been recruited by the Chinese government.

Several former Nvidia employees have also since claimed that the billionaire had another extramarital relationship, this time with Kimberly Powell, 48, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare.

Huang has been married to his wife Lori Huang for 41 years, and they share two children together.

The affair revelations sent shockwaves around the stock market and Nvidia's shares fell nearly 10 per cent in pre-market trading on Thursday.
