Nvidia's Innovation And Presence In Diverse Markets Makes It A Smart Investment
Nov. 23, 2014 2:51 PM ET | About: Nvidia Corporation (NVDA)
Summary
The launch of new GPUs will help NVIDIA benefit from the gaming industry.
Nvidia is also gaining traction in the mobile market.
Nvidia's growing presence in the automobile market will prove beneficial in the long run.
Stepping up its game in the gaming industry, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has already issued a solid outlook for the upcoming quarters. Considering the rising numbers of people playing the latest generation of games, Nvidia's prospects look strong. With the arrival of next generation game consoles, the production value of games is rising. However, there is more to Nvidia than just gaming. In this article, we will take a closer look at the markets that will drive Nvidia's performance going forward.
Targeting the gaming market through innovation
According to a majority of analysts, the gaming industry is witnessing a major leap this year with people across the globe playing Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) through eSports.
The launch of the GeForce GTX 980M and 970M GPUs has provided a boost to gaming enthusiasts. The all-new mobile laptop and GPUs claim to provide superior gaming experience. The GeForce GTX 980M and 970M are also capable of incorporating the overall benefits of the Maxwell desktop architecture into a laptop. Experts have noted that these new innovations will successfully bridge the gap between mobile and a desktop. Moreover, Nvidia claims its mobile GPU will provide 75% of its desktop GPU's performance.
Nvidia's claims are quite reasonable. The Maxwell architecture includes all the features of Kepler architecture with added innovations. Maxwell's GeForce GTX 980M and 970M GPUs offer higher performance, enhanced power efficiency and a superior image quality. With such inventions, no leading laptop manufacturer would want to miss on the Maxwell architecture. Also, huge games and platforms to play them on will drive Nvidia's business.
Moreover, Nvidia's wide range of Tegra processors are in great demand. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) will use Tegra in its project Tango for developing a kit aid to build applications with 3D mapping and sensing capabilities. Acer and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) have adopted Tegra K1 processors for designing Chromebooks. However, Nvidia's reach is not limited to mobiles, laptops, and desktops. Its hardware is implemented into automotive as well.
The Tegra K1 will also help Nvidia gain traction in the in-car infotainment market. In addition, it will also aid the company to spread out into the field of self-driving cars.
The company has already stated it will focus more on the in-car infotainment market and, in my opinion, it is the right decision. In 2011, sales in the worldwide in-car infotainment market stood at over $32 billion and are expected to cross $41 billion by 2016.
Nvidia claims there are over five million vehicles on the road that use the company's processors, nearly 100% more than in 2012. The automobile market has become the fastest-growing segment in the chipmaker's Tegra division. Thus, it's highly likely the company will benefit from the powerful Tegra K1.
A teardown analysis was performed on Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Model S electric car. The car consists of systems that resemble a tablet or smartphone. The car's head unit has touch-based controls on large displays. Nvidia's Tegra 3 quad core processor and Tegra 2 processor are used in this system. Nvidia's components are more significant in Tesla's smart design with two processors used in its head unit, while it also consists of components from its competitors. Nvidia will also provide its Tegra visual computing module to Volkswagen (OTCQX:VLKAY) and Honda (NYSE:HMC) for smart displays, digital cockpit and new infotainment systems.
