Promoting cutting-edge chip applications, NVIDIA opens up the cryptocurrency arena

Since the introduction of the Haswell architecture chip with energy efficiency and graphics performance in 2013, Intel's market share in the graphics chip market has climbed to more than 60%, and the other two manufacturers, NVIDIA and AMD. Less than 20%. However, the latter two were quite successful in the PC graphics chip market in 2016, forcing Intel to adopt a price reduction strategy to ensure a leading edge.

According to Seeking Alpha, NVIDIA mainly provides chips for cutting-edge applications such as computer games, virtual reality, cloud deep learning and self-driving. The world's largest cloud service providers use NVIDIA chips. The $21 billion cloud service market has a very high profit. It is estimated that between 2015 and 2020, the amount of investment in cloud services and equipment will be more than 7 times higher than other IT expenses. Will reach 21.5%.

As for the graphics card business dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, it is expected to grow to be comparable to the cloud service market. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are Turing scripting languages ​​developed by Alan Turing, which used German ciphers during World War II, to link and encrypt transactions in a chain that cannot be destroyed or modified, providing unbreakable transaction management. .

This digital ledgering technique is known as a blockchain and can be applied to various types of transactions, such as securities or art transactions. Through the blockchain, even if you buy a celebrity painting in the flea market in the future, you can use the attached ownership transaction ledger to verify the identity and save a large amount of appraisal. Financial institutions are also planning to introduce blockchain technology to downsize the back-office support operations currently responsible for transaction processing and compliance, saving billions of dollars.

The R3 Alliance, a group of more than 80 large financial institutions and technology companies, announced in May 2017 that it has successfully raised $100 million in blockchain technology development and research. Intel Capital is one of the investors. The biggest challenge facing blockchain technology is the processing power of computers. Some transactions can take several hours to complete, and such processing time is difficult for financial institutions to accept.

AMD's share price has risen due to the availability of cryptocurrency mining chips, but it is also sensitive to fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices. As for the more robust NVIDIA balance sheet, it is actively entering the development of cutting-edge markets. NVIDIA's R&D costs have averaged 7.7% over the past five years, below the 10-year average (10%), but are nearly twice as high as the semiconductor industry's 10-year average (4%). In the past three years, NVIDIA's R&D expenses per sales unit has dropped from 52% to 21.17%, which is close to AMD's 23.3%.
