This is what hundreds of millions of gamers in the world plays on.
It's a GeForce.
This is the chip that's inside.
For nearly 30 years, NVIDIA's chips have been coveted by gamers, shaping
what's possible in graphics and dominating the entire market since it
first popularized the term graphics processing unit with the GeForce
256. Now its chips are powering something entirely different.
Chad TBT has started a very intense conversation.
He thinks it's the most revolutionary thing since the iPhone.
Venture capital interest in AI startups has skyrocketed.
All of us working in this field have been optimistic that at some point the
broader world would understand the importance of this technology.
And it's actually really exciting that that's starting to happen.
As the engine behind large language models like ChatGPT, NVIDIA is
finally reaping rewards for its investment in AI, even as other chip
giants suffer in the shadow of U.S.-China trade tensions and an ease in
the chip shortage that's weakened demand.
But the California-based chip designer relies on Taiwan's semiconductor
manufacturing company to make nearly all its chips, leaving it vulnerable.
The biggest risk is really kind of U.S.-China relations and the potential
impact to TSMC.
That's, if I'm a shareholder in Nvidia, that's really the only thing that
keeps me up at night.
This isn't the first time Nvidia has found itself teetering on the leading
edge of an uncertain emerging market.
It's neared bankruptcy a handful of times in its history when founder and
CEO Jensen Huang bet the company on impossible seeming ventures.
Every company makes mistakes and I make a lot of them.
And, you know, some of them, some of them puts the company in peril,
especially in the beginning, because we're small and we're up against
very, very large companies and we're trying to invent this brand new
technology. We sat down with Huang at Nvidia's Silicon Valley
headquarters to find out how he pulled off this latest reinvention and
got a behind-the-scenes look at all the ways it powers far more than just gaming.
Now one of the world's top 10 most valuable companies, Nvidia is one of the rare Silicon
Valley giants that, 30 years in, still has its founder at the helm.
I delivered the first one of these inside an AI supercomputer to open AI when it was first created.
60-year-old Jensen Huang, a fortune businessperson of the year and one of Time's most influential people in 2021,
immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan as a kid and studied engineering at Oregon State and Stanford.
In the early 90s, Huang met fellow engineers Chris Malachowski and Curtis Priam at Denny's,
where they talked about dreams of enabling PCs with 3D graphics,
The kind made popular by movies like Jurassic Park at the time.
If you go back 30 years, at the time the PC revolution was just starting, and there was quite a bit of debate about what is the future of computing and how should software be run.
And there was a large camp, and rightfully so, that believed that CPU or general purpose software was the best way to go.
And it was the best way to go for a long time.
We felt, however, that there was a class of applications that wouldn't be
possible without acceleration.

envy. They hoped to speed up computing so much everyone would be green with
