#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And then, of course, then I make trips out to them and make sure that, hey, listen, I want you to know this quarter, this coming year, this next year, these things are going to happen.

And if you look at the CEOs of the DRAM industry, the number one DRAM in the world was DDR memory for CPUs in data centers.

#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

About three years ago, I was able to convince several of the CEOs that even though at the time, HBM memory was used quite scarcely and barely by supercomputers, that this was going to be a mainstream memory for data centers in the future.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And at first, it sounded ridiculous.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

But several of the CEOs believed me and decided to invest in building HBM memories.

Another memory was rather odd to put into a data center is the low power memories that we use for cell phones.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And we wanted them to adapt them

#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

for supercomputers in the data center.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And they go, cell phone memory for supercomputers?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And I explained to them why.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Well, look at these two memories, LPDDR5, HBM4.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

The volumes are so incredible.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

All three of them had record years in history.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And these are 45-year companies.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so that's part of my job is to inform and shape

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

inspire, you know?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Upstream, downstream.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

GEV, Caterpillar.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Yeah, that's downstream from us.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

But it works somehow.
