Rivalry
among the

Competitors
• Build economies of scale, to
reduce fixed cost per unit
• Build economies of
scale, to reduce
fixed cost per unit
• Rapidly innovating
new products
• By being service
oriented rather
than just product
oriented
By building a sustainable
differentiation
NVIDIA’s Industry Fundamental
• Gaming industry has evolved over the years from
black-and-white 2D games like Pong to 3D game,
3D Monster Maze.
• Also from primitive first-person shooters like
Wolfenstein 3D (1992) to complex, life-like
shooters like Battlefield 3 (2011)
• Also what we see is that Gaming industry is
heading towards uncharted territory and seeing
more of cloud base , VR, Secondary Screens,
Smart Glass, Open Source, Augmented Reality
NVIDIA’s Gaming Industry Journey
• Technology Failures:-
• GeForce forums and Reddit are filled with consumer
complaints regarding boot failure, flickering
• The company has a failure analysis lab to fix the
issues reported.
• Dependence on foundry:-
• Outsources its manufacturing work to Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM)
exposes company to the risk of product delays or
missed design cycles in case of Natural Disaster.
NVIDIA’s External Impacts
• Poor adoption of technology
• NVIDIA is building technology on the anticipation of
increased demand for graphics processing units due to
the increased adoption of VR
• If the market doesn’t grow as anticipated, NVIDIA’s
earnings will be negatively affected.
• Competition
• In fiscal 2016, NVIDIA reported strong growth as its
biggest competitor Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) lost
market share due to delays in product launches, which
rendered its products outdated.
• However, NVIDIA has more cash to spend on R&D
(research and development) compared to AMD, which
is struggling for cash.
NVIDIA’s External Impacts
NVIDIA – Strategy & Competitive Advantage
NVIDIA (NVDA) was one of the biggest winners on the stock
market in 2017, rising 82% as demand for its graphics
processing units (GPUs) spiked thanks to their usage in
emerging applications such as machine learning and
artificial intelligence.
In terms of AI will get more competitive
Although, NVIDIA has been one of the pioneers in the field
of artificial intelligence, stealing a march over its rivals
thanks to its GPU expertise. The company's GPUs have
been widely adopted in data centers and other applications
because of their massive computational power, which is
derived from the thousands of cores present inside.
NVIDIA’s Rapid Growth & Competitors
AMD are one of biggest Nvidia competitor from
the super-powerful AI process
NVIDIA’s Competition
It is increasingly looking like the future
belongs to artificial intelligence.
Two of the hottest
stocks in that industry
are Nvidia (NVDA, -
0.49%) and Advanced
Micro Devices (AMD, -
0.99%). The strength of
those stocks is largely
attributable to the
excitement around the
artificial-intelligence
capabilities of their
processors.
NVIDIA’s Competition
• Fujitsu (FJTSY, -0.16%) of
Japan. Fujitsu produces
some of the most
advanced processors for
super computers. Fujitsu
also produces
processors for SPARC
servers. SPARC servers
have been popular and
are now owned by
Oracle (ORCL, +1.14%)
after the company
bought Sun
Microsystems.
Other Heavyweight Competitor
Strategic and Competitive Advantage
• As CEO how would I help Nvidia sustain its competitive
advantage and keep company on a high growth trajectory?
Conclusion
R&D Spending Trend
Business Segments Portfolio
• Nvidia is a healthy and growing company. It
shows an overall positive sales growth in a 10-
year’s time combined with a consistently
decreasing operational costs.
• Currently its sales growth largely determined by
the gaming specialized market, reflected by its
GPU business segment
• In the future, automotive business is very likely
to be another promising revenue source
