Nvidia Corporation [ a ] ( / ɛ n ˈ v ɪ d i ə / en- VID -ee-ə ) is an American technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California . It develops graphics processing units (GPUs), systems on chips (SoCs), application programming interfaces (APIs) for data science , high-performance computing , video games, and mobile and automotive applications. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang , Chris Malachowsky , and Curtis Priem , the Nvidia has been widely described as a Big Tech company.
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 ] Furthermore, it has developed the Tegra line of mobile processors for smartphones, tablets, and automotive info
