Introduction:
NVIDIA, once primarily known for its prowess in the gaming industry, has evolved into a technological powerhouse shaping the landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and high-performance computing (HPC). This article traces NVIDIA’s journey from its origins in gaming to its pivotal role in providing hardware for AI and explores the evolution of its stock market. Additionally, it delves into the highlights of NVIDIA’s GTC 2024 keynote, showcasing groundbreaking advancements in AI, quantum computing, and networking.
I am showing you this video because a long time ago, I used to stay awake at night to follow Nvidia’s GTC event, as it was the unveiling platform for new graphics cards. Now, we have this…
From Gaming to AI:
NVIDIA’s transformation from a gaming-centric company to an AI innovator is a testament to its adaptability and foresight. Initially recognized for its graphics processing units (GPUs) catering to gamers’ needs, NVIDIA recognized the burgeoning potential of AI and deep learning. The parallel processing power inherent in GPUs made them ideal for accelerating neural network training, propelling NVIDIA into the realm of AI hardware providers.

Evolution of Stock Market:
NO INVESTMENT ADVICE
The evolution of NVIDIA’s stock market reflects its transition from a gaming-focused entity to a diversified technology giant. As NVIDIA expanded its offerings beyond gaming, investors took notice of its potential in burgeoning fields like AI, HPC, and data analytics. The company’s stock saw significant growth as it capitalized on these emerging markets, attracting both institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to cutting-edge technologies.
“As we can see Nvidia stock is Modestly Overvalued”
If you had invested $10,000 in NVIDIA stock in 2014, in 10 years, you would have received $2 million today
Now that I have grown up, instead of owning a new Nvidia GPU, I have less than 4% shares of Nvidia stock in my portfolio 🙂
NVIDIA GTC 2024 Keynote Highlights:

For me, I am really busy right now. I do have an AI project that involves NVIDIA chips, but I won’t say too much about it. For now, I have ‘Star Wars: The Bad Batch’ Season 4 to finish and ‘Invincible’ Season 2 on Amazon Prime.
And I am also a Helldivers 🙂
I love Geopolitics, I am also interested in Finance, especially CryptoCurrency.
And I'm also a photographer.
