History

Historical Context

After Nvidia went public in January 1999, it launched the GeForce 256 in August 1999—the first GPU with onboard transform-and-lighting, 120 MHz clock and four pixel pipelines. The chip’s success helped Nvidia dominate graphics, reaching a 92 % share of the discrete desktop/laptop GPU market by Q1 2025. CEO Jensen Huang now cites that legacy while urging Donald Trump to lift U.S. chip bans after Nvidia’s $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face.
