Nvidia Corporation is an American technology company that designs and sells graphics processing units (GPUs) for both commercial and enterprise use. It was founded on April 5, 1993, by current CEO (as of 2025) Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. The company is the largest providers of GPUs for both consumer and enterprise.
Consumer-impact summary
Nvidia's perception of consumers waned as the enterprise wing of the company started financially outperforming the consumer wing.
