That\u2019s one of the reasons why Nvidia\u2019s balance sheet being strong is so strategic. A strong balance sheet today is not only helpful, it\u2019s strategic. You look at the amount of revenues we\u2019re shipping into, just look backwards and look at the amount of supply chain capacity we had to go secure or that they have to believe. You know, if you set up a factory, a plant, a DRAM plant, and I come in and say, \u201cYou know what? Go ahead and set up the DRAM plant because I\u2019m gonna use it,\u201d that goes a long way.

The company has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/3079686\/pc-graphics-cards-are-now-nearly-100-percent-nvidia.html\">a near-total stranglehold on the consumer graphics market<\/a>, with a 94 percent share of desktops and laptops with discrete graphics cards going with Nvidia hardware. In the last year alone, the same report saw Nvidia\u2019s main rival AMD slip from 15 percent down to 5 percent, with Intel holding onto a tiny sliver of just 1 percent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"miso-smart-answers-faq\"><\/div>\n<p>As the future of consumer hardware seems to be in massive flux, if not actually in an existential crisis, Nvidia and Huang are going from strength to strength. If there was anyone in real life who\u2019s swimming in gold coins in Scrooge McDuck style right now, it\u2019d be Jensen Huang.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019d like an \u201cAI\u201d to generate that image for you, then odds are pretty good it\u2019ll be doing so with an Nvidia GPU. <\/p>\n<div class=\"hellobar\" id=\"hello-bar-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-end\" class=\"newsletter\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"nativo2\" class=\"nativo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-box\" data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3 class=\"article_author_head\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mcrider\" rel=\"author\"> Author: Michael Crider<\/a>, Staff Writer, PCWorld <\/h3>\n<div class=\"article_author_area\">\n<div class=\"article_author_box_bio\">\n<div class=\"img_cls\"> <img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" class=\"article_authr_img\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/mlmjbqro95r8.i.optimole.com\/cb:bOxR.6a5\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/author_photo_Michael-Crider_1738297314-36.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=150&h=150&crop=1&ssl=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\"> <\/div>\n<p>Michael is a 15-year veteran of technology journalism, covering everything from Apple to ZTE.
