Today, the hottest figure in the global tech world is not Elon Musk, but this formidable Chinese powerhouse.
Not only is he an exceptionally intelligent leader, but he is also a tough guy with valuable tattoos covering his body.
If you want to make a mark in the AI era, you must know this legendary figure.
He was originally from Zhejiang, China, moved to Thailand at the age of 7, and at 9 was sent alone to the United States to live with his impoverished uncle and was placed in a boarding school to toughen up.
Fortunately, two years later, his parents also moved to the United States, and his fate was rewritten.
At the age of 16, he entered college to study electronic engineering.
After graduating from college, he worked at AMD as a chip designer. After a decade of honing his skills, he finally founded his own company in 1993.
Why that year? Because he had boasted to his wife that he would become a boss by the age of 30!
At the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, he boldly declared to his two partners: "We are going to dominate the graphics field!"
They then worked behind closed doors for two years and launched their first product.
This product could not only handle graphics but also play music and connect to controllers to become a gaming console!
However, the market did not accept it.
Why? Because it was incompatible with the graphics chip market dominated by Microsoft!
This was undoubtedly a challenge to the industry giant. As expected, the product was ignored.
But he was not someone who gave up easily; he was determined to change the rules of the graphics chip industry.
Later, Intel introduced a new HP interface, and 3D technology was facing an industry transformation.
While other manufacturers hesitated, he chose to go all in.
In just two years, he became the only manufacturer in the market to support the new standard and produce 3D acceleration cards that were four times faster than his competitors!
After this victory, he secured a firm place in the market.
A year later, the world's first true GPU was born in his hands!
You might not be familiar with GPUs, but you've certainly heard of CPUs.
CPUs are versatile, high-speed computing chips, but they can become sluggish when processing large amounts of information.
GPUs, on the other hand, are specifically designed to handle image processing tasks, making computer visuals more realistic.
Since then, he has maintained a leading position in the GPU field, but his ambitions did not stop there.
He not only wanted to make computer images lifelike but also wanted to turn GPUs into powerful tools for scientific computing.
At that time, the field of artificial intelligence was just emerging, and experts discovered that training large AI models was more efficient than using CPUs.
He keenly captured this enormous opportunity and decisively invested all resources into deep learning.
Ultimately, in this wave of AI, his company's market value surpassed one trillion dollars, and his personal wealth soared by 200 billion!
The chips he produced became treasures sought after by AI giants worldwide.
This legendary figure is Jensen Huang, and the tattoos on his arm symbolize the glory of NVIDIA!
