Nvidia is selling hardware. What the buyers are doing with it doesn't change anything about Nvidia.
A company selling knives is not considered a butcher or cook, despite the main uses of knives being just that.

- Pooge 1y agoYou have a point. Then it's a "compute" company.
- swiftcoder 1y agoA company that sells knives, and also invests heavily in restaurants, might be considered to be in the restaurant business, however Nvidia spends a lot of money investing in downstream AI companies, in what feels like a rather incestuous circle
- OJFord 1y agoI'm not sure if this is what you mean too, but by the same logic it's not a 'graphics company' nor gaming etc. either. 'Chipmaker' as they say, specialising in highly parallel application-specific compute.
