Video Transcript
This video is brought to you by Aura.
Hi, welcome to another episode of Cold Fusion.
220% that's the astonishing increase in the share price of the California based chip-making
giant.
They've secured the position as the highest performing stock in the S&P 500 for 2023.
Traditionally, in video is the company behind companies.
It powers Netflix, Adobe, Airbnb, NASA, and even Kellogg's cloud services.
For those outside the tech space, Nvidia is probably the largest company that you've never
heard of.
According to Amazon, more than 90% of Fortune 100 companies use AWS or Amazon Web Services,
which is powered by Nvidia's hardware.
Today, Nvidia helps power AI systems like chatGPT and partners with Google too.
It's also used in Amazon's robot warehouses.
In summary, Nvidia is a much bigger deal than most people realize.
They're not just a company that makes graphics cards for gaming, even though that's what
they've become known for.
They're selling shovels in a gold rush, providing the infrastructure for the digital age.
And for that, today, Nvidia is worth over $1 trillion.
While there are questions of whether a company with a $1.2 trillion market cap is part of
a bubble,
There is no doubt the influence Nvidia has had on the wider industry.
From very nearly going bankrupt in 1995, it's been a remarkable turnaround.
In this episode, we explore Nvidia's extraordinary journey from technical feats to price controversies
unveiling the company's true size and history.
The 1990s, a decade of fuzzy TV, dial-up internet and beige boxes.
Those of us who grew up in this decade also witnessed the evolution of the personal computer.
In the early 90s, rendering a file browser window or chunks of text was about all the
graphics that you would need.
CPUs were powerful enough for that.
Unless you were in the animation or engineering industry, there was no need for complicated
graphics.
If you wanted that, video game consoles were the answer.
But what if there was a separate hardware processor that could easily bring graphics to the
personal computing world. Tucked away in sunny California, a trio of engineers, Jensen
Huang, Chris Malachowski, and Curtis Priem were thinking the same thing. They would meet
at a local denys where endless cups of coffee filled their conversations. At one of these
meetings, the trio noticed something. A CPU, which is the heart of the computer, is designed
as a general-purpose processor that can only tackle one task at a time, a method known as
serial processing. At the time, generating 3D graphics for video games placed tremendous
repetitive math intensive demands on CPUs. If there was a separate chip that could do parallel
processing, it would be a game changer. In other words, this chip would divide complex tasks
into smaller ones and carry them out at the same time. This approach is far more efficient
for tasks like rendering 3D graphics where many calculations can be done at the same time.
This new chip wouldn't replace the CPU but would complement it for graphical tasks.
This would later be known as a GPU.
And this idea was the beginning of Nvidia.
It was a simple idea with modern hindsight, but it would revolutionize not only computing
but computer science over the next 20 years.
But right now Nvidia's focus was on the gaming experience on PCs in the 90s, and that
market had potential, big potential.
