We maintained leadership positions in each of our core product lines, which positions us for continued growth throughout the year," stated Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA.
"Our growth reflects the ever growing importance of the GPU across a broad range of computing and digital devices. The GPU is one of the most important enablers for the digital consumer era. Over the next 10 years, we estimate that over 10 billion GPUs will be needed to power PCs, mobile devices, cars, TVs, and game consoles. Our strategy is clear and focused - to be the world leader in GPUs and capitalize on this exciting opportunity," added Mr. Huang.
