Jensen Huang founded accelerated computing company Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in 1993, and has served as the CEO and president ever since. Nvidia has achieved many breakthroughs under his leadership, but the invention of the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999 was particularly momentous.

Nvidia's recent stock returns have been nothing short of phenomenal. As AI drives the need for more computing power, quarterly revenue increased by over 1,000% since 2020. Much of that came in the last two years as large tech companies spent heavily to build out data centers needed for AI applications.

The Nvidia boss unveiled a new AI platform at CES called Cosmos, which aims to give robots and autonomous cars endless real-world scenarios to study.

Japanese semiconductor testing equipment maker Advantest Corp. has emerged as a key beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom, with its stock showing a remarkable 0.93 correlation coefficient with NVIDIA Corp.

The supercomputer will cost about $3,000 when it becomes available in May, Nvidia said, and will be available from the company itself as well as some of its manufacturing partners. Huang said Project Digits is a placeholder name, indicating it may change by the time the computer goes on sale.
