When NVIDIA started in 1993, we were trying to create this new computing approach.
The question is, what's the killer app?
The company wanted to create a new type of computing architecture, a new type of computer that can solve problems that normal computers can't solve.
Well, the applications that existed in the industry in 1993 are applications that normal computers can solve because if the normal computers can't solve them, why would the application exist?
And so we had a mission statement for a company that has no chance of success.
But I didn't know that in 1993.
It just sounded like a good idea.
And so if we created this thing that can solve problems, it's like you actually have to go create the problem.
And so that's what we did.
In 1993, there was no quake.
John Carmack hadn't even released Doom yet.
You probably remember that.
And there were no applications for it.
And so I went to Japan because the arcade industry had this, at the time of Sega, if you remember.
The arcade machines, they came out with 3D arcade systems.
