Back in 2007, during an interview on the talk show "Boss Talk," NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang offered a different perspective on the landscape of the computing industry. When the host used the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as an analogy for the chip giants: Intel was like the State of Wei, AMD was like the State of Shu, and NVIDIA was like Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, Huang casually responded, "That map is too small."
He pointed out that the most important computing device of the future will not be a desktop computer or a server in a data center, but a mobile computer in your pocket. "Mobile phones are the most critical computing platform of the future, and none of the companies you mentioned have even entered this arena yet."
He emphasized that a world defined too narrowly will limit your strategic vision. And a narrow strategic vision is destined to limit your success in the rapidly evolving technology industry.
Looking back today, the AI era and the mobile-first trend are surging in, and NVIDIA has already laid the groundwork for this battle.
