01 / OPERATING MODEL

Design deeply.
Build together.

NVIDIA is a fabless computing company: it designs processors and systems and develops software, while working with external manufacturing partners.

The platform connects silicon, interconnect, libraries and developer tools. Customers may buy hardware, integrated systems, software or cloud services through different channels.

Markets are not
reporting segments.

Compute & Networking / Graphics

These are the two FY2025 reportable segments. Data Center, Gaming, Professional Visualization and Automotive describe market platforms; do not add the two classifications together.

What can constrain growth?

Manufacturing capacity, packaging, memory availability, export restrictions, customer concentration, power and cooling all matter. Strong demand does not remove execution risk.

04 / A STRATEGIC CONNECTION

2020
Mellanox

Computing also means moving data.

The Mellanox acquisition closed in April 2020. Networking became a central part of the story: processors need efficient communication across increasingly large systems.
