Who Runs the World?

NVIDIA is the Taylor Swift of the tech world. “NVIDIA’s architecture is now, if you will, grafted into every single computer company in the world,” said Jensen Huang, in a recent interview with Costis Maglaras, the dean of Columbia Business School. He emphasised its comprehensive approach, which lies not only in addressing computing and AI as a hardware challenge, but also as intricate software, algorithm, and data centre problems. 

The outcome: NVIDIA reported revenue of $22.1 billion, up 22% sequentially and a remarkable 265% year-on-year—well above the outlook of $20 billion—during the latest earnings call. “The world has reached the tipping point of a new computing era,” said Colette Kress, chief financial officer of NVIDIA, during the earnings call.
