The NVIDIA co-founder and CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang says:

“We are enjoying growth in all of our platforms — gaming, professional visualization, datacenter and auto,”

“Accelerating our growth is deep learning, a new computing model that uses the GPU’s massive computing power to learn artificial intelligence algorithms. Its adoption is sweeping one industry after another, driving demand for our GPUs.

“Our new Pascal GPU architecture will give a giant boost to deep learning, gaming and VR. We are excited to bring a new wave of innovations to the markets we serve. Pascal processors are in full production and will be available later this month,”
