Results of the second quarter encouraged investors, and even the failure of NVIDIA Corporation in the form of large-scale withdrawal of tablets SHIELD and write-offs of Icera assets could not break their faith in the bright future of the company, which increased its revenue from the sale of gaming GPU by almost 60% compared to the same period last year. It is easy to calculate that the gaming graphics solutions formed in the last quarter, 69% of all proceeds from sales of NVIDIA GPU. If these figures relate to the total revenues, it turns out that the company 57% depends precisely on game cards.
By the way, CEO of NVIDIA with the release of Windows 10 and processors Skylake pins hopes on a revival of the computer market - including in the workstation segment.
First of all, NVIDIA CEO traditionally categorically refused to talk about the release schedule of new products, but explained that he reserves the right to surprise customers by several new products in the foreseeable future." Then he switched to a discussion of the so-called "Moore's Law".
According to the , the pace of development of graphics technology ahead of Moore's Law, and it should be taken in a broader context - the principle that determines the pace of innovation in the industry. Architecture, silicon, software environment - all these components are developed in sync, and together can give the effect of allowing ahead of Moore's Law. Even within the 28-nm process technology NVIDIA has managed to increase the speed of graphics solutions by 4-5 times. Accordingly, the progress of NVIDIA partners to success in the development of lithography solutions are not so much attached.
As recognized Jensen Huang, NVIDIA recently was able to double the graphics performance every year and a half, and it is unlikely that something prevented it to do so in the future. At the same time, explains how the company's founder, only a third of NVIDIA engineers engaged in the development of hardware solutions, others are specialists in mathematical algorithms and programming. It focuses on improving the software algorithms, according to him, this will allow NVIDIA to take place as a reliable partner for those companies that are currently developing a system of automatic driving.
