COMPANY TO UNDERGO STOCK SPLIT

Nvidia Founder and CEO Jensen Huang also emphasized in his statement regarding the company's financial results that companies and countries are partnering with Nvidia to shift their trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and to create a new type of data center to produce "a new commodity, artificial intelligence."

Pointing out that artificial intelligence will bring significant productivity gains to almost every sector, Huang stated, "Artificial intelligence will help companies become more cost and energy efficient while also increasing revenue opportunities."

As demand for artificial intelligence chips continues to rise, Nvidia's shares have gained approximately 92 percent in value since the beginning of the year, and the company's market value has exceeded 2.3 trillion dollars.
