The Most Important Nvidia Product Isn't a Chip. It's This.
Overview
Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) dominance has created a strange problem for its competitors, yet building a competing artificial intelligence (AI) chip is no longer enough to catch up. Even if a rival develops a faster processor at a lower price -- already extremely difficult-- it still faces a much bigger challenge: convincing developers to leave Nvidia's ecosystem.
That's because Nvidia's most important product may not be a chip at all. It is the software platform that sits behind it. Understanding that distinction could help investors better appreciate why Nvidia continues to dominate the AI market.
