Nvidia CEO talks Omniverse, Metaverse, and autonomous vehicles
It’s been an interesting past few years’ for Nvidia. In between trying again, and again, despite many countries' oppositions to eventually fail to purchase Arm from Softbank, the company has been ramping up productions to help deal with the chip shortage. It’s even building a giant AI research computer with Meta, a company Nvidia has recently usurped to become 7th largest company in the US. Though perhaps Meta has done some of that to itself with recent company changes.
But what’s next for Nvidia, now that the Arm deal has finally been taken off the table? According to Nvidia CEO and one of Time's most influential people of 2021, Jen-Hsun Huang, it’s all about moving forward with the metaverse, Omniverse, and self driving cars.
In an interview with VentureBeat Huang talks about the strategies Nvidia will use moving forward in spite of the Arm deal not going ahead. Unsurprisingly it involves still making CPUs, GPUs, and DPUs for whatever architecture makes sense at the time.
“We have a 20-year license to Arm’s intellectual property. And we’ll continue to take advantage of all that and all the markets. And that’s about it. Keep building CPUs, GPUs (graphics processing units), and DPUs (data processing units).” Huang told VentureBeat.

But the future is also leaning towards new technologies like Nvidia's scalable, powerhouse of a 3D simulator Omniverse. It’s largely used for simulating real situations in a way that can be collaborated on and tested before being put into real production. Because of this it’s often linked with metaverse trials, or at least the potential to make realistic 3D spaces. It seems to be getting a
