| Industry Competition |
The market for 3D graphics processors for mainstream PCs in which the Company competes is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and declining average selling prices. NVIDIA believes that the principal factors of competition in this market are performance, conformity to industry-standard APIs, software support, access to customers and distribution channels, manufacturing capabilities and price. The Company expects competition to increase both from existing competitors and new market entrants with products that may be less costly than the Company's 3D graphics processors or may provide better performance or additional features not provided by the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the emerging mainstream PC graphics market. |
| Business Plan |
The Company's objective is to be the leading supplier of high performance 3D graphics processors for PCs. The Company's strategy to achieve this objective includes the following key elements: (I) Focus on the Mainstream PC Market, (ii) Target Leading OEMs, (iii) Extend Technological Leadership in 3D Graphics and (iv) Increase Market Share by Leveraging Strategic Alliances. |
