Nvidia Corporation, commonly known as Nvidia, is an American multinational technology company that designs graphics processing units (GPUs) and system-on-a-chip units for mobile computing. Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, the company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California and has grown to be a leading supplier of GPUs for gaming, professional visualization, and data centers. It has played a pivotal role in the development of GPU-accelerated computing and AI.

Its core products include GeForce consumer GPUs for gaming and RTX lines for professionals and enthusiasts, along with data center GPUs such as the A100 and H100 built on Ampere and Hopper architectures. Nvidia also develops automotive platforms like NVIDIA DRIVE. The company maintains a software ecosystem around CUDA, cuDNN, and other tools that enable GPU-accelerated AI, machine learning, and scientific computing. Nvidia markets DGX systems and the Omniverse platform for 3D simulation and collaboration.

From discrete GPUs, Nvidia expanded into AI infrastructure, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and professional visualization. It completed the Mellanox Technologies acquisition in 2019 to strengthen data-center networking. It also pursued Arm Limited as a major deal announced in 2020 but terminated in 2022 amid regulatory hurdles. The company relies on semiconductor fabrication partners such as TSMC to manufacture its chips.

Nvidia is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker NVDA. It has a global workforce and a significant influence in consumer gaming, enterprise AI, high-performance computing, and automotive sectors. Its architectures, product lines, and software tools are widely used in research, industry, media production, and entertainment.
