Nvidia manufactures the GeForce graphics-processing-unit product line.
Nvidia was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem. The company became known for graphics processors used in personal computers and gaming systems, with GeForce serving as its consumer graphics brand.
Nvidia’s graphics-processing units later became important in professional visualization, scientific computing, cryptocurrency mining, and artificial-intelligence workloads. Its CUDA software platform helped developers use Nvidia GPUs for general-purpose parallel computing.
The company’s rise in market value has been closely linked to demand for data-center hardware used to train and run artificial-intelligence systems. GeForce remains aimed primarily at consumers, while Nvidia’s data-center products serve enterprise and research customers.
