Notable Quotes

Nvidia is in everything, right? It's got graphics chips that have been in laptops for years now. It's got pixels flying down from the cloud into your devices, but they haven't been in many devices as the CPU, as the central part of your computer.

I think this is fortunately or unfortunately, this is increasingly becoming the way of laptops. If you are not very specifically self-selecting as I am a gamer, I am a video creator, you're going to buy a laptop that kind of has everything encapsulated in one chip that does it all for you because that's where they find the efficiency.

It could be a very big deal. It could be they are a big player maybe bigger than Qualcomm in this space. They could be right up there with Intel and AMD in a year or three.
