In the ever-evolving world of technology, few companies have managed to redefine entire industries the way Nvidia has. Once known primarily for its graphics cards catering to gamers, Nvidia has transformed into a global powerhouse at the center of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing, and data science. Today, it stands as the driving force — the heartbeat — behind the ongoing tech revolution that’s reshaping the modern world.

195.1) From Graphics to Global Dominance

Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, Nvidia’s initial mission was to make computer graphics more realistic. Its early success came with the invention of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in 1999, with the launch of the GeForce 256, the world’s first GPU. This invention completely transformed gaming visuals and set the stage for the modern era of computer graphics.

But Nvidia didn’t stop there. Researchers soon discovered that GPUs could perform massive parallel computations, making them ideal for AI and deep learning. This realization changed everything — Nvidia evolved from a gaming hardware brand into a leader in accelerated computing and artificial intelligence.
