For the first time in the last years, the computing segment has widely passed the graphics segment in terms of revenue.
That happened thanks to the fact that NVIDIA found itself exceptionally well positioned for the commercial explosion of the AI industry, which happened in 2022.
By early 2023, most of NVIDIA’s revenue already came from its computing segment, where the company sells its GPU, a significant and critical component in AI supercomputers.
NVIDIA generated almost $27 billion in revenue in 2023, of which $15 billion came from computing and networking and $11 billion from graphics. Opposite to 2022, where of $27 billion in revenue, over $15.8 billion came from Graphics and $11 billion from computing and networking. With the explosion of AI, the computing segment has become the main driver of NVIDIA’s growth.
