PARIS, July ‌9 (Reuters) - The ​French ​competition authority said on Thursday its probe ‌into chipmaker Nvidia Corp is ⁠coming to an end.

The agency ‌is investigating the chipmaker ‌over alleged anti-competitive practices.

"We are nearing the end of ​the investigation," Umberto Berkani, the French competition authority's ⁠general rapporteur, told reporters on Thursday.

The end ​of the investigation does not mean Nvidia will necessarily ​face sanctions.

The French ‌antitrust watchdog's investigation services must first decide whether ⁠to issue a statement of objections - a finding that there ⁠are sufficient grounds to proceed -- or ​close the case. If they issue such a statement, Nvidia will have ‌an opportunity to respond before the authority's ‌board issues a final ⁠ruling.
