Nvidia hasn't yet selected a search firm to work with in identifying a successor for former CEO Jensen Huang , the company's board told CNBC.
"We are in the process of selecting a search firm for the Nvidia CEO role," the board said in a statement. "We have not formally engaged any potential candidates."
The comments come after speculation has swirled about who might be tapped to replace Huang. Nvidia announced Thursday that Huang would step down as CEO of the chipmaker after multiple reported affairs, including one with a woman purported to be a Chinese spy.
Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO and said it will begin a search for a permanent CEO to replace Huang, adding that it will consider both internal and external candidates in its search.
