Nvidia is No. 2 on the list of the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies of 2025. Explore the full list of companies that are reshaping industries and culture.
Large language model makers continue to pour money into realizing the lofty ambitions of their systems. But one company is already reaping the rewards. Nvidia helped kick off the AI race with market-dominating graphics processing units and, according to a Q3 2024 analysis from IDC, has reached a 93% unit market share of GPUs running AI workloads worldwide. Many analysts believe it could grow further.
Nvidia’s groundbreaking Blackwell processor, launched last March, is up to 2.5 times more powerful than its predecessor, the H100, and requires much less energy, says Shar Narasimhan, Nvidia’s director of product for AI and data center GPUs. The largest data center operators and AI labs, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Tesla, and xAI, are reportedly buying Blackwell GPUs by the tens of thousands.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s software and networking strive to wring the maximum speed and computing power from the chips. “We have a platform that effectively can read an AI model, understand what the model wants it to do, then go off and disseminate all of these calculations among thousands and thousands of GPUs,” Narasimhan says. “So you have all of this inner communication, then it coalesces and serves you back a single response.”
While DeepSeek and Alibaba have made big strides in training cutting-edge AI on less-powerful Nvidia GPUs, Nvidia isn’t just cranking out processors. Instead, it’s actively building platforms for everything from drug discovery (Clara for Biopharma) to autonomous vehicles (Drive AGX) to video production (Holoscan) to digital twins (Omniverse). By driving AI progress in an ever-growing array of real-world scenarios and computational needs, Nvidia has positioned itself for growth.
