Back in 2007, during an interview with the “Boston Hall” program, NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang offered a different perspective on the landscape of the computing industry. When the host used a “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” analogy to describe chip giants: Intel as Wei, AMD as Shu, and NVIDIA as Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, Huang responded casually, “This map is too small.”
He pointed out that the most important computing device in the future won’t be the desktop computer or the servers in data centers, but the mobile computer in your pocket. “The mobile phone is the most critical computing platform of the future, and none of the companies you mentioned have even stepped onto this battlefield.”
He emphasized: A narrowly defined world will limit your strategic vision. And a narrow strategic vision is doomed to go nowhere in the rapidly evolving tech industry.
Looking back today, the wave of AI era and mobile-first strategies is surging forward, and NVIDIA has already laid out its plans long ago.
