    Absolutely incredible results from NVIDIA. Jensen's vision has finally paid off for them.

    Gross Margin up 26.6pts Y/Y
    Net Income up 843% Y/Y
    Datacenter Revenue up 171% Y/Y (10.32B$)
    Gaming Revenue up 22% Y/Y (2.49B$)
    Automotive Revenue up 15% Y/Y (253M$)

    The gulf between Datacenter and Gaming shocked me. I remember - not so long ago - that Gaming was their most profitable division. Now Datacenter has skyrocketed.

      AI bubble? I don't actually think it's a bubble, just a super increase to get in on the ground floor.

        Their guidance for Q3 is 16B$ and +1.4pt margin, so the increased demand will probably persist for a while. From what I hear, NVIDIA can't actually keep the H100 in stock as the supply is...

        Their guidance for Q3 is 16B$ and +1.4pt margin, so the increased demand will probably persist for a while. From what I hear, NVIDIA can't actually keep the H100 in stock as the supply is bottlenecked by CoWoS.

        I think the gulf between Gaming and Datacenter will only widen as Blackwell will release 1H24, well before Ada-Next.

          Yeah, the cloud providers are definitely limited by supply rather than capital here - getting access to A100s or H100s has been a bit of an art form the last few months, and I have no doubt NVIDIA...

      CUDA being feature complete and having libraries & frameworks optimized and immediately deploy-able for it is all the difference. I don't like much of their business practices for their gaming GPU...

      CUDA being feature complete and having libraries & frameworks optimized and immediately deploy-able for it is all the difference. I don't like much of their business practices for their gaming GPU division, but their engineering and HPC teams are world class and have been awesome to work with / use as an someone who writes scientific computing code on the GPU.

      Interesting, good for them. A the same moment I wonder how much tax did they pay to the governments. [edit] Six Months Ended Income before income tax 9,190 Income tax expense (benefit) 958 10%?...

      Six Months Ended

      Income before income tax
      9,190
      Income tax expense (benefit)
      958

      10%? Tax the rich, or how it was...?

    It's so rare for an established corporation like this to see this kind of growth. Amazing results.
