Nvidia’s Computex 2024 keynote was an epic: Just over two hours of CEO Jensen Huang holding the state solo, giving a nonstop tour de force of where his company has been and where it’s going. Given Nvidia’s wildly successful year in the market and the public eye, he was given a raucous reception and alternated at times between English and Chinese, tapping into the enthusiasm that, at the moment, his company is riding a wave of history.

Indeed, that was the vibe throughout the keynote: of a company that finds itself (in part by decades of innovation, and in part by the happy accident of being optimally positioned for the very specific needs of AI) as a major player in what is emerging as “a new industrial revolution.” Nvidia’s hardware and software stacks touch the core of AI, of course, but also robotics and especially data science and modeling (which, in turn, touch dozens of industries in deep and world-changing ways).The company may be best known to consumers as the engines that power PC gaming. But as Huang acknowledged at one point during the event, pointing to one of the impossibly powerful rack-mounted AI servers that graced the stage, “This is a GPU.”
