In 1993, the three co-founders believed that the proper direction for the next wave of computing was accelerated or graphics-based computing because it could solve problems that general-purpose computing could not. Nvidia was founded on April 5, 1993, by Jensen Huang (CEO as of 2022 ), a Taiwanese-American electrical engineer who was previously the director of CoreWare at LSI Logic and a microprocessor designer at AMD Chris Malachowsky, an engineer who worked at Sun Microsystems and Curtis Priem, who was previously a senior staff engineer and graphics chip designer at IBM and Sun Microsystems.

Nvidia's offer to acquire Arm from SoftBank in September 2020 failed to materialize following extended regulatory scrutiny, leading to the termination of the deal in February 2022 in what would have been the largest semiconductor acquisition. Nvidia expanded its presence in the gaming industry with its handheld game consoles Shield Portable, Shield Tablet, and Shield TV and its cloud gaming service GeForce Now. Nvidia's GPUs are used for edge to cloud computing and supercomputers. In addition to AMD, its competitors include Intel, Qualcomm and AI-accelerator companies such as Graphcore. More recently, it has moved into the mobile computing market, where it produces Tegra mobile processors for smartphones and tablets as well as vehicle navigation and entertainment systems. They are deployed in supercomputing sites around the world. In addition to GPU manufacturing, Nvidia provides an API called CUDA that allows the creation of massively parallel programs which utilize GPUs. Its professional line of GPUs are used in workstations for applications in such fields as architecture, engineering and construction, media and entertainment, automotive, scientific research, and manufacturing design.
Nvidia is a global leader in artificial intelligence hard- and software.
It is a software and fabless company which designs graphics processing units (GPUs), application programming interface (APIs) for data science and high-performance computing as well as system on a chip units (SoCs) for the mobile computing and automotive market. Nvidia Corporation ( / ɛ n ˈ v ɪ d i ə/ en- VID-ee-ə) is an American multinational technology company incorporated in Delaware and based in Santa Clara, California.
