The market seemingly thinking it's a disappointment. Did you think it was a disappointment? Hi, Caroline. You know, I was not disappointed with the actual numbers here. I think, you know, expectations were very high going into this particular print. And, you know, especially when you hear of things like events in New York in which, you know, bars were being rented out to see what the earnings report was going to be, you know, it's a different model. I was not in when I was at my desk looking at the numbers. I Joe Weisenthal I saw bring back reporter was indeed out there in the bars. But I'm interested. Okay. And even though you did see this overall disappointment of very high expectations, was there any cause for concern do you still think is end put to our previous guests, Anthony, that the air trade is intact? The trade is intact. I think we have to put this in the

longer-term context. You know, India was generating revenues of about 27 billion about two years ago. They're on pace to generate revenues of over 125 billion this year. That's just enormous. Is that growth rate sustainable? You know, it clearly is not. But they're continuing to grow, and the expectations are for growth of over 40% in revenues for next year. And Blackwell is just going to be another step up in allowing that to happen. A wealth enhancement group has like what, 7.8 million Nvidia shares, like $1,000,000,000 worth of stock? I know that you were part of our kind of watch party last night watching the interview. You lead research, right? You use your expertise to try and work out what's going on. What did you work out during the course of that conversation? You know, I think this is a long game. I think we're still in the early innings of AI deployment.

The Hyperscalers matter. There's so much juice from all of these. It is table stakes for these large cloud providers, and they're seeing productivity gains from the use of AI. So I think that's going to continue. It's going to proliferate. It is going to take time. But, you know, the Internet took time as well. And 20 years later, it's still evolving. Were you convinced by what Jensen Wong just said? We played in that clip just then that that business has broadened out beyond the hyperscalers. Yes. I mean, they mentioned about, you know, sovereign entities purchasing and being in that low double-digit billions of dollars in terms of revenues. You know, that was exciting to see. And, you know, Hyperscalers are 45%, which means 55% is other revenues. So that is a nice diversification as well. But that consistency from the hyperscale

retailers is likely to continue. It's just going to be a choppy year to year. You know, many of these companies, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, they're all going to be evaluating their cap ex budgets for next year. And each year it's not going to be the same. And so we have to be diligent about that. But for the most part, they will be spending in order to get that productivity enhancement going forward. What about competition? A lot of people feeling that if there is just a slight blip in this annual cadence of innovation, maybe AMD can start to work its way in a little bit more. Do you agree? Or, you know, I think from a hyperscalers perspective or from the cloud providers, the Internet service providers, you always want to have more than just one provider of your chips. So, you know, there is room for competition. And I think, you know, that's always something that we have to keep in mind.

You know, let's not forget that Intel had the majority of, you know, data center server share for many, many years. And here we are with Nvidia really coming out and taking share, AMD as well. So competition is always something that we look for and watch out for. Cautionary tale. What's interesting is you have holds on Texas Instruments, on Broadcom, what many have thought perhaps hasn't moved at the pace that we're expecting, was that these hyperscalers would make their own chips to compete in quite the same way, using a Texas Instruments, using CSC, for example. I'm interested as if, if ever you see that really coming in as a competition, you know, it's tough. You know, that the design part of those chips is, you know, where India has the advantage along with the software associated with AI. So, you know, they're CUDA, you know, all the chips are built off of CUDA and

that really provides them with the benefit that many other chip providers and chip manufacturers just don't have. Can you define what NVIDIA is, what it actually is? You know, NVIDIA is a chip maker at the end of the day. Right. But it is a chip maker and is a primary beneficiary for artificial intelligence and how computing will go forward in the coming decade.

The market's reaction to the earnings report was one of disappointment, despite the actual numbers being strong.

India's revenue growth from $27 billion to over $125 billion in two years is significant, but the sustainability of this growth rate is uncertain.

The speaker believes the AI deployment is still in its early stages, indicating a long-term growth potential.

The Impact of Hyperscalers and AI on Cloud Providers

Hyperscalers are crucial for large cloud providers, driving productivity gains through AI and contributing to a diversified revenue stream.

While the consistency of their impact is expected to continue, year-to-year fluctuations in capital expenditure budgets are likely.

Competition for chip providers is also important, as cloud and internet service providers prefer to have multiple options.

Intel has dominated the data center server market for many years, but Nvidia and AMD are now gaining traction.

The competition is intensifying, with hyperscalers potentially making their own chips to compete.

India's advantage in chip design and AI software, particularly through CUDA, adds to the competitive landscape.

NVIDIA's Role in Chip Manufacturing and AI

NVIDIA is a chip maker that plays a crucial role in the development of artificial intelligence.

The company is positioned to be a primary beneficiary of the increasing demand for AI-driven computing in the coming decade.

NVIDIA's unique advantages set it apart from other chip providers and manufacturers.
