The Financial Times reports that Tencent has arranged to lease 100,000 Nvidia chips from Oracle in a deal worth around $7 billion, via a multi-year agreement.

The report was quickly picked up by major financial outlets including Yahoo Finance and Investing.com, drawing attention to how Chinese firms are routing around semiconductor curbs.
