Their goal was to develop a graphics processing unit (GPU) that would revolutionise computer graphics for video games.<\/p>\n<p>Huang weathered many storms with Nvidia, holding the course and making some smart, if risky bets early on. <\/p>\n<p>He believed that traditional chip designs would eventually fail to keep up with the growing demands of microprocessors and that Nvidia\u2019s gaming chips would give them an edge in this new era.<\/p>\n<p>The gamble paid off, as Nvidia\u2019s chips are now the leading hardware used to train powerful AI systems, like the technology behind ChatGPT and image generators.
