AMD Radeon RX Vega Isn't A Threat, Says NVIDIA CEO

NVIDIA has recently posted another successful financial quarter and also posted revenue of $1.93 billion, which is a 48 percent increase from last year. During the earnings call, NVIDIA's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, has also revealed that he doesn't expect the competitive position to change in 2017 on the gaming GPU side.

During the Q/A session, Barclays Capital analyst, Blayne Curtis had asked NVIDIA's CEO on how he sees the competitive landscape change in the second half of 2017. NVIDIA has already revealed some big guns in the first half of 2017 such as the GTX 1080 Ti, NVIDIA Titan XP, and the updated GTX 1080 cards, which face no competition from AMD till now and offer brilliant performance to gamers and even professional users as well.

CEO Jen-Hsun has confidently replied to the question, stating that he doesn't expect the competitive position to change even in the second half of 2017. SeekingAlpha has noted the full reply by NVIDIA CEO.

The statement from Jen-Hsun confirms that NVIDIA is feeling very leading currently with a vast array of enthusiast and high-end graphics cards based on the Pascal GPU architecture. NVIDIA will be releasing their next computer powerhouse, in the few hours, the Volta based GV100 at GTC17 and the next-generation GDDR6 memory has already been showcased yesterday that would make its way on the Volta based high-end gaming graphics cards, early next year.

It should be noted that high-end gaming graphics cards only account for a portion of Nvidia's market. The total gaming sector accounts for 53% of Nvidia's revenue, with the remaining 47% divided between workstation graphics, data centers and advancements in automobile AI. Of the $1.02 billion revenue earned from gaming, an estimated $322 million came from Tegra SoC, as reported by Game-Debate.

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun also revealed that they are already building an inventory for a new graphics product that hints at Volta cards hitting the landscape very close to 2018. For more details on upcoming technologies from NVIDIA, stay tuned to Droid Report.
