The visual computing company blew analyst Q2 earnings expectations out of the water, beating on both Revenue and Earnings Per Share with a positive long-term outlook. Gaming stole the show driving second-quarter earnings higher along with record data centre revenue. Data centre revenue, which includes the latest Mellanox acquisition grew 54% Q/Q and 167% Y/Y.
"Our new Ampere GPU architecture is sprinting out of the blocks, with the world’s top cloud service providers and server makers moving quickly to offer NVIDIA accelerated computing. Mellanox grew sharply, driven by the need for high-speed networking in cloud data centres to scale-out AI services," - Jensen Huang (CEO).

Outlook – Nvidia is set on Data Center dominance after the company announced a $40 billion cash and stock deal to acquire the British chip maker, Arm Ltd from SoftBank.

The deal has been met with strong opposition from rival chip makers with U.S Regulators still to weigh in on the deal.
