Jensen Huang

And so if you just kind of...

In the beginning, it was no gaming industry.

We had no choice but to focus the company on one thing, that one thing.

It's a really incredible origin story.

Then our entire life hung on another gentleman.

And so now, here we are, we built.

So before GeForce, it was Riva 128.

Riva 128 saved the company.

It revolutionized computer graphics.

The performance, cost performance ratio of 3D graphics for gaming was off the charts amazing.

And we're getting ready to ship it.

Well, we're building it.

So as you know, $5 million doesn't last long.

And so every single month, every single month, we were drawing down.

You have to build it, prototype it.

You have to design it, prototype it.

Get the silicon back, which costs a lot of money.

Test it with software.

Because without the software testing the chip, you don't know the chip works.

And then you're going to find a bug, probably, because every time you test something, you find bugs, which means you have to tape it out again, which is more time, more money.
