Some employees are urging the board to bring former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang back, Wired reported.

An internal post urging directors to consider staff sentiment has attracted more than 1,600 comments, with most expressing support for his return.

Meanwhile, the chipmaker said it had not yet begun searching for a permanent CEO, with CFO Colette Kress currently serving as interim chief following Huang’s departure.

The company’s board told CNBC yesterday that it was in the process of appointing an executive search firm to find Nvidia's next CEO.

The statement came as speculation mounted over Nvidia’s next CEO. The FT reported that the board had approached Arm Holdings chief Rene Haas, triggering a decline in Arm’s stock.
