Nvidia Corporation[a] (/ɛnˈvɪdiə/ en-VID-ee-ə) is an American technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang (president and CEO), Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, it develops graphics processing units (GPUs), systems on chips (SoCs), and application programming interfaces (APIs) for data science, high-performance computing, and mobile and automotive applications.[5][6] Nvidia is considered part of the Big Tech group, alongside Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta.
Originally focused on GPUs for video gaming, Nvidia broadened their use into other markets, including artificial intelligence (AI), professional visualization, and supercomputing. The company's product lines include GeForce GPUs for gaming and creative workloads, and professional GPUs for edge computing, scientific research, and industrial applications. As of the first quarter of 2025, Nvidia held a 92% share of the discrete desktop and laptop GPU market.[7][8]
In the early 2000s, the company invested over a billion dollars to develop CUDA, a software platform and API that enabled GPUs to run massively parallel programs for a broad range of compute-intensive applications.[9][10][11] As a result, as of 2025, Nvidia controlled more than 80% of the market for GPUs used in training and deploying AI models,[9] and provided chips for over 75% of the world's TOP500 supercomputers.[1] The company has also expanded into gaming hardware and services, with products such as the Shield Portable, Shield Tablet, and Shield TV, and operates the GeForce Now cloud gaming service.[12] It also developed the Tegra line of mobile processors for smartphones, tablets, and automotive infotainment systems.[13][14][15]
In 2023, Nvidia became the seventh U.S. company to reach a US$1 trillion valuation.[16] In 2025, it became the first to surpass US$4 trillion in market capitalization, driven by rising global demand for data center hardware in the midst of the AI boom.[17][18] For its strength, size and market capitalization, Nvidia has been selected to be one of Bloomberg's "Magnificent Seven", the seven biggest companies on the stock market in these regards.[19]
