NVIDIA's layout of metaverse infrastructure

Since the beginning of this year, Nvidia’s stock price has continued to skyrocket, rising 125% all the way, and its current market value has exceeded $700 billion, making it the seventh largest company in the US stock market, surpassing Berkshire Hathaway and after Meta.

Nvidia, which started out by designing GPUs, currently has two major markets: gaming computers and data centers. In the last quarter, the company sold $3.22 billion to gaming computer makers, up 42% year over year, and $2.94 billion to data centers, up 55% year over year. Nvidia has been engaged in chip design for a long time which often considered a part of "hardware". But in recent years, the company appears to be expanding into the business of software development. This also makes it continue to surpass peer giants such as Intel, AMD, Samsung, and TSMC to become the world's most valuable semiconductor company.

Not only that, NVIDIA also announced some measures about the "metaverse", including a set of cloud universe platform Omniverse, which is considered to be "metaverse infrastructure". This platform product was launched for public beta in December last year and is now officially launched. It can be used to create digital twins, virtual world images (avatars, digital avatars), etc., including natural language interaction, deep learning, artificial intelligence, etc. extensive technology development.

After Meta, NVIDIA's "metaverse" seems to be more recognized by the market. Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers said: "NVIDIA will be the hardware entrance to the metaverse." The analyst also believes that the Metaverse will provide Nvidia with a $10 billion market share opportunity over the next five years. And the engine that bring this $10 billion in growth is Omniverse.
