As seen in its second-quarter earnings results, posted on Wednesday, Nvidia continues to build upon its gamer roots.
The chip designer’s gaming division (its golden goose long before generating images of celebrities eating spaghetti was even a thought) scored $4.29 billion in revenue in the second quarter, up 49% year over year — a record.
The figure came in significantly higher than the $3.74 billion analysts polled by FactSet expected. That nearly 15% surprise is far better than Nvidia’s core data center business, which missed estimates by less than a percent.
