"Demand for Blackwell is amazing as reasoning AI adds another scaling law—increasing compute for training makes models smarter and increasing compute for long thinking makes the answer smarter," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
"We've successfully ramped up the massive-scale production of Blackwell AI supercomputers, achieving billions of dollars in sales in its first quarter. AI is advancing at light speed as agentic AI and physical AI set the stage for the next wave of AI to revolutionize the largest industries."

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on April 2, 2025, to all shareholders of record on March 12, 2025.

DahitaWait, I thought that's what they just did with the 50x0 series?!

:slap:
-As soon as they're back in stock and closer to MSRP people will be back to "DLSS better than native" faster than you can blink...

Problem right now is the bone has not actually be cast... It's like faking out your dog with a false throw, everyone's just confused and wondering where the Blackwell is...

LittleBroWhat would you call paying 1 damn cent if your market cap is 3 billion lol. Many other smaller companies pay dividends of at least $2-3 dollar per stock. What's point of paying 1 cent then?


Yep, used H100 smuggled through Singapore were used to train DeepSeek. I don't know for what, but vast majority of RTX 4090 found it's way to China. They were dismantling and repurposing them. Had it not been worth the money and all that work, they would not have been doing it.

The 4090 is better suited to inference, but even there, its lack of memory would be an issue. However, there are ways to split the model between multiple cards so even that issue can be overcome.

Gaming might be a small part, sure, but billions is not a pocket change to anyone. Go tell shareholders that they don't need those billions.

LittleBro3 billion dollar company pays just one fuckin cent per share to stock owners?

Greedy.
considering NVDA has 24.49 BILLION shares outstanding, $0.01/share equals to a $250M dividend payout to shareholders this quarter, or upwards of $1B annually to shareholders.

sucks for those of us holding less than 10000 direct shares. for institutional investors its how we grow our 401k/IRA accounts.

BwazeIf AI orders make a downturn, Nvidia will gladly sell to gamers again, beating that newcomers
No.

There is no way on planet Earth that if insane AI spending is gone, gamers could compensate in in any meaningful way for NV.

It is billions in sales, not revenue.

AI business is not only 14 more revenue, but likely times higher margins too.
