What They Do

NVIDIA designs GPUs and accelerated computing platforms that power AI training and inference globally, spanning compute, semiconductors, and networking. They manufacture hardware such as the NVIDIA H100 and supply critical compute infrastructure to major AI companies including OpenAI and Microsoft.

Why it matters to AI

NVIDIA GPUs are the dominant compute platform for AI training, making them foundational infrastructure for the entire AI ecosystem. Their supply relationships with TSMC, SK Hynix, and Samsung Electronics underpin the global AI hardware supply chain, and without their platforms, large-scale AI training at companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google would not be feasible at current scale.
