Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's chief executive after reports of two extramarital affairs, one with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy. The board announced the departure on Thursday, and House Republicans have called Huang for a closed-door briefing.

Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang has resigned as the company's chief executive, the board of directors said on Thursday, after reports of multiple extramarital affairs.

According to the reports, one affair involved a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, and another involved an Nvidia executive who reported to Huang. The board's announcement ends a saga that had run for weeks.

Accounts of the departure differ in emphasis. Some describe Huang as resigning, while others say the board ousted the longtime co-founder, president and CEO.

Separately, House Republicans have called Huang to a closed-door briefing on his affair with the woman alleged to be a Chinese spy. He has until the end of the day Wednesday to answer the request, some reports say. No date for the briefing was given.

The company has not said who will lead Nvidia following Huang's departure.
