Interview with nVidia CEO

Interesting way of looking at the business. So all the software kits like
Physics, CUDA, TWIMBP program are nVidia's core competency?

JHH: Well, NVIDIA is a software company, this will be what will drive our
growth, we just don't write de application, but we create all the core
technology we create more core technology for visual computing that any
other company in the world. We give it away, it's like Google they do search
but they give it away, they sell advertisement.

CHW: Are Gamers the most profitable market for NVIDIA?
JHH: I would say probably not, 2/3 of our revenue come from games but 2/3 of
our profit comes from Quadro workstations

As an NVIDIA fan I really hate to see bat**** insane marketing coming
from them without any silicon to back it up. I see far too many
parallels with the FX; a missed product cycle, a reworked architecture,
****-tallking marketing, and so forth.

Heh, Jen-Hsun Huang has always been like that. :-)

The FX5800 wasn't successful because it was slower than the 9700 Pro. If the
GT300 (or GF100... whatever) has a decent performance edge over the 5870, it
will go a long way to cushion the criticisms.

BTW, all brands of the 5870 remain out of stock at Newegg and Zipzoomfly.
ATi effectively doesn't have a high-end product you can buy either... I hope
it doesn't turn into another Platinum Edition.
