Did Nvidia Just Say "Checkmate" to Rivals?
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) built an empire in what could be today's most promising technology: artificial intelligence (AI). It all started with a powerful chip -- the graphics processing unit (GPU) -- which is designed to rapidly handle specific types of computing problems: those that can be easily broken down into a large set of smaller problems that can solved simultaneously.Initially, Nvidia sold this product to the gaming market, because producing high-resolution, fast-moving video game graphics is just the sort of task that parallel processors are made for. But over time, the tech world found other uses for GPUs. And eventually, when AI started really taking off, it became clear that they were the best hardware available for the training and inferencing of AI models.With the best GPUs on the market and a highly popular platform for developers, Nvidia rapidly became the No. 1 AI chip designer and developed a wide range of products and services to enhance its status as the go-to purveyor of AI hardware.Continue reading
