How Nvidia became a trillion-dollar company

CIO Business Intelligence

Its founders spotted that generating 3D graphics in video games—then a fast-growing market—placed highly repetitive, math-intensive demands on PC central processing units (CPUs). Intel makes more graphics chips, though, because most of its CPUs ship with the company’s own integrated graphics silicon.)

How Nvidia beat everyone else in the AI race

Vox

Nvidia was founded to design a specific kind of chip called a graphics card — also commonly called a GPU (graphics processing unit) — that enables the output of fancy 3D visuals on the computer screen. That acquisition was pretty clearly intended to get control over a software architecture that most of the industry relied on,” says Peinert.
