🧠 News: NVIDIA reports $6B in pure profit from Q2 earnings report
Read Time: 4 minutes
Our Report: NVIDIA, in its Q2 earnings report, highlights its substantial gains, surpassing $6B in pure profit, due to the surge in generative AI.
🔑 Key Points:
For Q2, Nvidia reported a revenue of $13.51B, which is significantly higher than the $6.7B earned during the same period in the previous year.
The primary source of income came from their data center business ($10.32B), which overshadowed their gaming revenue (the profit leader up until this year).
The data center business focuses on providing the chips—A100 and H100—essential for developing and running AI applications, such as ChatGPT.
Profits are a direct result of a strategic decision NVIDIA made in 2018 to go all in on AI, with CEO Jensen Huang highlighting the potential for growth due to the transition from traditional data storage to accelerated data storage using AI.
🤨 Why you should care: Nvidia's thriving success in the generative AI domain underscores the industry's potential and the growing dependence on AI tools and infrastructure for future tech developments.
