I didn't realise he used to work for AMD. That's one they should never have let go.

This man is an absolute legend and I am truly grateful for the amazing journey he and his company have provided us over the decades. What an incredible and exciting experience it has been. Just now I finished playing an amazing VR experience which wouldn't have been possible without his innovations. If all progress stopped today, this gaming venture would have been a complete success. We got to ride this wave of excitement from just a few hundred thousand pixels on a screen all the way to being totally immersed in a virtual reality environment; the dream has come true. It literally happened and my younger self wouldn't believe me if I told him all about it. Thanks for everything, Jensen Huang!

they couldn't have kept in in the long term

the man has done a lot for graphics,datacenter and AI,it's only right he gets the credit.can't question that.
took the company from scratch to one of the biggest in computing.possibly the biggest one in long term.
nvidia in the recent years has been incredible pushing new architectures every two years,taking more and more industries.
he gets so much hate mostly cause he's that succesful,some people will always envy that.
the introduction of mining cards (rtx30) has been an absolute jackpot for the company,no matter how much I despise that.
I recently realised that even the open backplate/flow-thru design of their ampere cards has been created for mining environments.

The Greatest!

Well deserved, I'd say. He has shown great determination in developing Nvidia.

He was a chip designer there.

Noyce 😉
Ivrogne
He deserve it.

You know that he and Lisa Su are family, right?
Awkward family reunions?

Nvidia's CEO doesn't exist.

from hindsight,it's kinda ironic
rtx and dlss,despite slow adoption and miserable performance,worked stable and as inteded since launch.
yet early navi was a bsod galore for months,without any of those.
I mean,when I bought 2070S on launch,I played metro then control with rt and dlss on,no crashes
and threads for 5700xt crashing in those were opening all the time

He reminds me of Todd Howard... XD

Why now? I would argue Nvidia was in a much greater lead a couple years ago.
Key word is "mostly". To hate because someone is successful is juvenile and petty. I have no problem with Nvidia's products or Nvidia as a company, and I often recommend them to pretty much anyone who wants a Windows gaming PC or a GPU-centric robotics platform (I don't recommend Nvidia for anything other than those 2 things). But I refuse to buy Nvidia for myself solely because I don't like Huang as a person. He's very arrogant and he runs Nvidia to be uncooperative and anticompetitive. He knows he's got the best and he strongarms pretty much every partnership, often to the point where the partnership ends in bitterness (this has happened way too many times). It's only a matter of time until companies like Nintendo, Audi, and Volvo stop being partners with Nvidia.
Despite his tactics, he thankfully hasn't been responsible for stifling innovation. I appreciate that Nvidia didn't just sit back when they got ahead, and they do invest in genuinely good technologies. So, as much as I dislike the man, I do begrudgingly feel he deserves the award.

That was when he was just starting his career.
His plan was always to found his company. And that's what he did, after getting the investors he needed.
Curiously, there was a rumor, that before AMD bought ATI, they where in talks with nVidia.
Supposedly, AMD would have bought nVidia, but for one issue. Jensen demanded that he would become the CEO of AMD, after the buy out.
AMD refused, the business fell trough and they had to settle with ATI.
I never found out if this was ever true. But I do wonder, how things would pan out with Jensen at the elm of an AMD+nVidia.

Do they give out this award in a leather jacket form? o_O

Leather jackets aside, gratz to him, he can be a role model for many.
alanm
Unsubstantiated rumors. Would never have happened due to antitrust laws preventing mergers that create monopolies.
Horus-Anhur
You do realize that nVidia and ATI were the same type of company.
If AMD could buy ATI, they could nVidia. There was no issue with anti-trust law.
alanm
Not at same time. They could buy one or the other.
