NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Makes Cover of 2021 TIME 100 Most Influential People
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been selected as one of only seven individuals to receive their own cover for the upcoming print edition of the TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2021. The Taiwanese-American earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1992 before co-founding NVIDIA in 1993 where he now holds the role of CEO. He has been described as one of the most technically savvy CEOs by Andrew Ng who is a founder of DeepLearning.AI and has written about Jensen for Time.
When Jensen directed NVIDIA to focus on GPU development in 2003 there was considerable skepticism however the gamble has paid off with the company holding a market-leading position and recording profits in the billions. This latest award will add to the numerous already received by him including the Robert N. Noyce Award from the Semiconductor Industry Association and an honorary doctorate from the National Taiwan University. The special 2021 print edition of TIME 100 Most Influential People will be available to purchase from September 17th.

I remember when seeing the presentation he was a part of about new graphics. When he pulled out a graphics card from the oven in a tight room. Damn I thought I was watching master chef or other cooking channel. How is that influential and how good it was you guys tell me.
I do not crawl every forum and so, but I have never heard him talking outside new gpu releases. While AMD have from time to time. Jensen know how to hide. AMD wins in Full HD because of their small, but still additional cache. When it goes to 2k or higher GDDR6 falls behind to GDDR6X
But they can't deliver quantity. Same goes for nvidia. When the new cpu's will come out with RDNA2 iGPU i guess they will have plenty of defective chips from GPU sector.
It may be a tenuous Analogy, but it is sort of like how the vast majority of people who first time watercool just automatically buy EK without even bothering to research alternatives, then these people post their builds on social media and YouTube, so they get more mind share causing more people to just assume to buy EK without looking at alternatives because since they see it everywhere they just automatically assume it "must be the best". Same thing with Nvidia, people are bombarded with articles stating Nvidia owns 80% of the consumer dGPU market, so people see this and assume that has to mean they're the best so they automatically buy Nvidia, it's like a self fulfilling prophecy. I'm not going to claim Nvidia makes bad products, that's not the case, but I will say that "most popular" does not automatically equate to the best product.... We can all agree that McDonald's sells more food than any other restaurant, but would anyone claim they have the best "product" with respect to quality?
Oh man that's funny.

this is one of the exact proof when AMD have really good product consumer actually starts buying their product.
about the driver thing...it is a bit more complicated but i will not going to say there is no evidence to back it up. just ask those with 5k series that have to return their card two or three times (i even know a guy that have to replace his for four times) because of GSOD. back then AMD insisting the problem can be solved though driver updates but we all know it is something that happen quite severely on 5k series. even happen on 6k series. and then AMD decided to kill 4k series driver support after 3 year plus. those that are affected by this obviously are more wary to get another AMD GPU in the future.
