摘要

Nvidia 在人工智能领域的主导地位无论如何强调都不为过。Nvidia 公司成立于 1993 年，最初在个人电脑图形处理器（GPU）这一新兴领域崭露头角。但是，正是该公司的人工智能芯片，而不是个人电脑图形硬件，让 Nvidia 跃居全球最有价值公司的行列。事实证明，Nvidia 的 GPU 在人工智能领域同样出色。因此，它的股票价值是 2020 年初的 15 倍多；收入从 2019 财年的约 120 亿美元猛增到 2024 年的 600 亿美元；这家 AI 强企的尖端芯片就像沙漠中的水一样稀缺，令人向往。

Challengers are Coming for Nvidia's Crown: In AI's Game of Thrones, Don't Count Out the Upstarts

IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE NVIDIA'S AI DOMINANCE. Founded in 1993, Nvidia first made its mark in the then-new field of graphics processing units (GPUs) for personal computers. But it's the company's AI chips, not PC graphics hardware, that vaulted Nvidia into the ranks of the world's most valuable companies. It turns out that Nvidia's GPUs are also excellent for AI. As a result, its stock is more than 15 times as valuable as it was at the start of 2020; revenues have ballooned from roughly US $12 billion in its 2019 fiscal year to $60 billion in 2024; and the AI powerhouse's leading-edge chips are as scarce, and desired, as water in a desert.
