Beyond3D has posted an interview with NVIDIA’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. In the interview, Jen-Hsun Huang answers questions about the company’s products, their capabilities, as well as NVIDIA’s business model in addition to mid-term future plans.

“Over the course of the last 13 years we’ve really expanded people’s notion that GPU is much, much more than just PC graphics. When we first started the company people used to call us a VGA controller company, then a PC graphics company, but now they call us a GPU company, which is kind of nice. Now what I need to do is help people understand that the GPU is much more versatile than just PC’s and computing and that I’m going to have a GPU in my cell phone, a GPU in my handheld, a GPU in my television. That’s where we’re going to expand; we’re going to take GPU’s into all of these rich displays. At the highest level, the way to think about it is that when we started the company the number of pixels that were manufactured on earth then verses now is extraordinary - in 1993 there were no LCD panels, and you certainly weren’t going to fit a CRT in your pocket; that’s our market opportunity!” says Jen-Hsun Huang.
