What is NVIDIA / NVDA

  • NVIDIA is a big technology company from the United States.

  • It makes special computer chips called GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). GPUs are powerful chips used to create video games, animations, 3D graphics — and also to run Artificial Intelligence (AI) and heavy computer tasks.

  • Apart from GPUs for gaming and graphics, NVIDIA makes chips and software for data centers (big computers used by companies), AI computers, cars, robotics, and more.

 What does NVIDIA’s technology do

  • In video games and graphics: NVIDIA’s GPUs help computers show fast, smooth graphics, 3D models, realistic images — good for gaming, video editing, animation.

  • In AI and supercomputers: Their powerful chips help computers learn, think, and solve very hard problems quickly — for example training AI models, running simulations, helping scientific research.

  • In other areas: Their tech also helps build self-driving car software, robotics, cloud computing, and enterprise computing systems.

Why NVIDIA is important

  • NVIDIA controls a very large part of the global market for discrete graphics GPUs — many of the computers worldwide that need powerful graphics or AI rely on NVIDIA chips.

  • As more companies and technologies move to AI, data centers, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles etc., demand for NVIDIA’s chips increases — making NVIDIA a big player in shaping future technology.

 When and where did NVIDIA start

  • NVIDIA was founded in 1993 in Santa Clara, California, USA.  Over time it grew from focusing only on graphics/GPU chips to doing a lot more — now covering AI, computing, data centers, and advanced technology areas.
