NVIDIA

NVIDIA Corporation is an American technology company founded on 5 April 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem in Santa Clara, California. The company specialises in designing graphics processing units (GPUs) and computational accelerators, and since the mid-2010s has been a key supplier of hardware infrastructure for machine learning and AI. NVIDIA is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NVDA. In fiscal year 2026 (ended 25 January 2026), NVIDIA achieved record revenue of $215.9 billion (+65% year-over-year), with the Data Center segment generating $193.5 billion (approximately 90% of total revenue). Fiscal year 2025 closed with revenue of $130.5 billion (+114% year-over-year). The company employs 42,000 people (as of January 2026). Key AI products include GPU accelerators based on the Hopper architecture (H100, H200) and Blackwell architecture (B100, B200, GB200 NVL72), the CUDA developer platform, the Isaac platform for robotics (Isaac Lab, Isaac Sim, GR00T), the Omniverse platform for virtual environments and digital twins, and NIM (NVIDIA Inference Microservices). In 2020, NVIDIA acquired Mellanox Technologies, a manufacturer of InfiniBand networking cards, for $6.9 billion. An attempted acquisition of Arm Holdings (2020–2022) was abandoned due to regulatory obstacles. NVIDIA operates under a fabless model, outsourcing chip manufacturing primarily to TSMC.
