Thanks for the question as we start out here.
感謝我們從這裡開始的問題。
I think when we had discussed our overall data center business 3 months ago, we did indicate that our visibility as we turned into the new calendar year was low.
我認為,當我們 3 個月前討論我們的整體數據中心業務時,我們確實表示在進入新日曆年時我們的知名度很低。
We had a challenge in terms of completing some of the deals at the end of that quarter.
我們在該季度末完成一些交易方面遇到了挑戰。
As we moved into Q1, I think we felt solid in terms of how we completed.
當我們進入第一季度時,我認為我們在如何完成方面感覺很穩定。
We saw probably a combination of those moving forward continuing with their CapEx expenditures and building out in terms of what they need for the data centers.
我們可能看到了那些繼續推進資本支出並根據數據中心需求進行建設的人的組合。
Some others are still in terms of the pause.
其他一些人仍然處於停頓狀態。
So as we look in terms of with Q2, I think we see a continuation of what we have in terms of the visibility, not the best visibility going forward but still rock-solid to what we think are benefits of what we provide in terms of a platform.
因此,當我們從第二季度的角度來看,我認為我們看到了我們在可見性方面的延續,而不是未來的最佳可見性,但仍然堅如磐石,我們認為我們提供的好處是一個平台。
Our overall priorities are aligned to what we see with the hyperscalers as well as the enterprises as they think about using AI in so many of their different workloads.
我們的總體優先事項與我們對超大規模企業和企業的看法一致,因為他們考慮在許多不同的工作負載中使用人工智能。
But we'll just have to see as we go forward how this turns out.
但我們只需要看看我們前進的結果如何。
But right now, visibility probably just remains the same about as where we were when we started 3 months ago.
但現在,能見度可能與我們 3 個月前開始時的情況一樣。

Second half of the year, we expect to see some great games.
今年下半年,我們期待看到一些精彩的比賽。
We won't preannounce anybody else's games for them, but this is a great PC cycle because it's the end of the console cycle, and PCs is just where the action's at these days with battle royale and eSports and so much social going on, the PC gaming ecosystem is just really vibrant.
我們不會為他們預先宣布其他任何人的遊戲,但這是一個很棒的 PC 週期,因為它是主機週期的結束,而 PC 正是這些天隨著大逃殺和電子競技以及如此多的社交活動發生的地方, PC 遊戲生態系統非常活躍。
Our strategy with RTX was to take a lead and move the world to ray tracing.
我們與 RTX 的戰略是帶頭並推動世界走向光線追踪。
And at this point, it's fairly, fairly safe to say that the leadership position that we've taken has turned into a movement that has turned next-generation gaming ray tracing into a standard.
在這一點上,可以相當、相當肯定地說,我們所佔據的領導地位已經轉變為將下一代遊戲光線追踪轉變為標準的運動。
Almost every single game platform will have to have ray tracing, and some of them already announced it.
幾乎每一個遊戲平台都必須有光線追踪,其中一些已經宣布了。
And the partnerships that we've developed are fantastic.

Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Colette M. Kress - Executive VP & CFO
Yes.

I'll start off here and kind of go back to where our thoughts were in Q1 and why we provided full year guidance when we were in Q1.
我將從這裡開始,回到我們在第一季度的想法以及為什麼我們在第一季度提供全年指導。
When we looked at Q1 and what we were guiding, we understood that it was certainly an extraordinary quarter, something that we didn't feel was a true representative of our business, and we wanted to get a better view of our trajectory of our business in terms of going forward.
當我們查看第一季度和我們的指導時,我們明白這肯定是一個非凡的季度,我們認為這不是我們業務的真正代表,我們希望更好地了解我們的業務軌跡在前進方面。
We are still experiencing, I think, the uncertainty as a result of the pause in terms of with the overall hyperscale data centers.
我認為,由於整個超大規模數據中心的暫停,我們仍在經歷不確定性。
And we do believe that's going to extend into Q2.
我們確實相信這將延續到第二季度。
However, we do know and expect that our Q2 -- or excuse me, our H2 will likely be sizably larger than our overall H1, and the core dynamics of our business at every level is exactly what we expected.
但是,我們確實知道並期望我們的第二季度 - 或者對不起,我們的 H2 可能會比我們的整體 H1 大得多,我們在各個層面的業務核心動態正是我們所期望的。

I was hoping you could provide some color in terms of what you're seeing not only from your hyperscale customers, which you've talked extensively on, but more on the enterprise and HP side of your business and specifically on the hyperscale side.
我希望你能提供一些色彩,不僅從你的超大規模客戶那裡看到,你已經廣泛討論過,而且更多地在企業和惠普方面,特別是在超大規模方面。
You guys talked about this pause that you're seeing from your customer base.
你們談到了從客戶群中看到的這種停頓。
When you're having conversations with your customers, do they give you a reason as to why they're pausing?
當您與客戶交談時,他們是否會向您說明他們暫停的原因?
Is it too much inventory of GPUs and CPUs and so on and so forth?

Hyperscalers are digesting the capacity they have.
超大規模企業正在消化他們擁有的能力。
They -- at this point, I think it's fairly clear that in the second half of last year, they took on a little bit too much capacity.
他們——在這一點上,我認為很明顯,在去年下半年,他們承擔了太多的容量。
And so everybody has paused to give themselves a chance to digest.
所以每個人都停下來給自己消化的機會。
However, our business on inference is doing great, and we're working with CSPs all over the world to accelerate their inference models.
但是,我們的推理業務做得很好,我們正在與世界各地的 CSP 合作以加速他們的推理模型。
Now the reason why recently the inference activity has gotten just off the charts is because of breakthroughs in what we call conversational AI.
現在,推理活動最近剛剛從圖表中脫穎而出的原因是我們所謂的對話式人工智能的突破。
In fact, today, I think that -- I just saw it today, but I've known about this work for some time, Harry Shum's group, Microsoft AI research group, today announced their multitask DNN general language understanding model.
事實上,今天我認為——我今天才看到它,但我知道這項工作有一段時間了,Harry Shum 的團隊,微軟 AI 研究組,今天宣布了他們的多任務 DNN 通用語言理解模型。
And it just -- it broke benchmark records all over the place.
它只是 - 它打破了所有地方的基準記錄。
And basically, what this means is the 3 fundamental components of conversational AI, which is speech recognition; natural language understanding, which does multitask DNN is a breakthrough, and it's based on a piece of work that Google did recently called BERT; and then text-to-speech.
基本上,這意味著對話式人工智能的三個基本組成部分,即語音識別;自然語言理解,多任務 DNN 是一個突破,它基於谷歌最近所做的一項工作,稱為 BERT;然後是文字轉語音。
All of the major pieces of a conversational AI are now put together.
對話式 AI 的所有主要部分現在都放在了一起。
Of course, it's going to continue to evolve, but these models are gigantic to train.
當然,它會繼續發展,但這些模型的訓練量很大。
And in the case of Microsoft's network, it was trained Volta GPUs, And these systems require large amounts of memory.
而以微軟的網絡為例,它是訓練有素的 Volta GPU,而這些系統需要大量的內存。
The models are enormous.
模型是巨大的。
It takes an enormous amount of time to train these systems.
訓練這些系統需要花費大量時間。
And so we're seeing a breakthrough in conversational AI.
因此,我們看到了對話式人工智能的突破。
And across the board, internet companies would like to make their AI much more conversational, so that you can access your phones and smart speakers and be able to engage AI practically everywhere.
總的來說,互聯網公司希望讓他們的人工智能更具對話性,這樣你就可以訪問你的手機和智能揚聲器,並且幾乎可以在任何地方使用人工智能。
The work that we're doing in the industries makes a ton of sense.
我們在行業中所做的工作非常有意義。
We're seeing AI adoption in just about all the industries from transportation to health care to retail to logistics, industrials, agriculture.
從交通運輸到醫療保健到零售再到物流、工業、農業,我們看到幾乎所有行業都採用了人工智能。
And the reason for that is because they have a vast amount of data that they're collecting.
其原因是因為他們正在收集大量數據。
And I heard a statistics just the other day from a talk that Satya gave that some 90% of today's data was created just 2 years ago and is being created by and gathered by these industrial systems all over the world.
就在前幾天,我從 Satya 的一次演講中聽到了一個統計數據,即今天大約 90% 的數據是在 2 年前創建的,並且正在由世界各地的這些工業系統創建和收集。
And so if you want to put that data to work -- and you could create the models using our systems, our GPUs for training, and then you can extend that all the way out to the edge.
因此,如果您想讓這些數據發揮作用——您可以使用我們的系統創建模型,我們的 GPU 用於訓練,然後您可以將其一直延伸到邊緣。
This last quarter, we started to talk about our enterprise server based on T4.
上個季度,我們開始談論我們基於 T4 的企業服務器。
This inference engine that has been really successful for us at the CSPs is now going out into the edge, and we call them edge servers and enterprise servers.
這個在 CSP 中對我們非常成功的推理引擎現在正在進入邊緣,我們稱它們為邊緣服務器和企業服務器。
And these edge systems are going to do AI basically instantaneously.
這些邊緣系統基本上會在瞬間完成人工智能。
It's too much data to move all the way to the cloud.
一直移動到雲端的數據太多了。
You might have data sovereignty concerns.
您可能有數據主權問題。
You want to have very, very low latency.
你想要非常非常低的延遲。
Maybe it needs to have multi-sensor fusion capabilities so it understands the context better.
也許它需要具有多傳感器融合能力,以便更好地理解上下文。
For example, what it sees and what it hears has to be harmonious.
例如,它所看到的和所聽到的必須是和諧的。
And so you need that kind of AI, those kind of sensor computing at the edge.
所以你需要那種人工智能,那種邊緣的傳感器計算。
And so we're seeing a ton of excitement around this area.
所以我們在這個地區看到了大量的興奮。
Some people call it intelligent edge, some people call it edge computing.
有人稱之為智能邊緣,也有人稱之為邊緣計算。
And now with 5G networks coming, we're seeing a lot of interest around the edge computing servers that we're making.
現在隨著 5G 網絡的到來,我們看到人們對我們正在製造的邊緣計算服務器產生了濃厚的興趣。
And so those are the activities that we're seeing.

Yes, when you look at our sequential gross margin increase, that will be influenced by our larger revenue -- our larger revenue and better mix, which you are correct, is our largest driver of our overall gross margin.
是的,當您查看我們的連續毛利率增長時,這將受到我們更大收入的影響——我們更大的收入和更好的組合,您是正確的,是我們整體毛利率的最大驅動力。
However, we will be beginning the Nintendo Switch backup, and that does have lower gross margins than the company average, influencing therefore Q2 gross margin guidance that we had provided.
但是,我們將開始備份 Nintendo Switch,其毛利率確實低於公司平均水平,因此影響了我們提供的第二季度毛利率指導。
As we look forward towards the rest of the year, we think mix and the higher revenue again will influence and likely rise our overall gross margins for the full year.

NVIDIA's strategy is accelerated computing.
NVIDIA 的戰略是加速計算。
It is very different than an accelerator strategy.
它與加速器策略非常不同。
For example, if you were building a smart microphone, you need an accelerator for speech recognition, ASR.
例如,如果您正在構建智能麥克風,則需要一個用於語音識別的加速器 ASR。
Our company is focused on accelerated computing, and the reason for that is because the world's body of software is really gigantic, and the world's body of software continues to evolve.
我們公司專注於加速計算,原因是世界上的軟件體非常龐大,而且世界上的軟件體還在不斷發展。
And AI is nowhere near done.
人工智能還遠未完成。
We're probably at the first or a couple of innings of AI at that.
我們可能處於人工智能的第一局或幾局。
And so the amount of the software and the size of the models are going to have to continue to evolve.
因此,軟件的數量和模型的大小將不得不繼續發展。
Our accelerated computing platform is designed to enable the computer industry to bring forward into the future all the software that exists today, whether it's TensorFlow or Caffe or PyTorch or it could be classical machine learning algorithms like XGBoost, which is actually right now the most popular framework and machine learning overall.
我們的加速計算平台旨在使計算機行業能夠將當今存在的所有軟件推向未來,無論是 TensorFlow、Caffe 還是 PyTorch,也可以是 XGBoost 等經典機器學習算法,這實際上是目前最流行的整體框架和機器學習。
And there's so many different types of classical algorithms and not to mention all of the handwritten engineered algorithms by programmers.
而且有很多不同類型的經典算法,更不用說程序員的所有手寫工程算法了。
And those algorithms and those hand-engineered algorithms also would like to be mixed in with all of the deep learning or otherwise classical machine learning algorithms.
這些算法和那些手工設計的算法也希望與所有深度學習或其他經典機器學習算法混合在一起。
This whole body of software doesn't run on a single function accelerator.
這整套軟件不能在單一功能加速器上運行。
If you would like that body of software to run on something, it would have to be sufficiently general purpose.
如果您希望該軟件主體在某些東西上運行,那麼它必須具有足夠的通用性。
And so the balance that we made was we invented this thing called a Tensor Core that allows us to accelerate deep learning to the speed of light.
所以我們做出的平衡是我們發明了這個叫做張量核心的東西,它可以讓我們將深度學習加速到光速。
Meanwhile, it has the flexibility of CUDA so that we can bring forward everything in classical machine learning as people have started to see with RAPIDS and is being announced, being integrated into machine learning pipelines, in the cloud and elsewhere, and then also all of the high-performance computing applications or computer vision algorithms, image processing algorithms that don't have deep learning or machine learning alternatives.
同時,它具有 CUDA 的靈活性,因此我們可以推出經典機器學習中的所有內容,正如人們已經開始看到的 RAPIDS 並正在發布,被集成到機器學習管道、雲和其他地方,然後還有所有沒有深度學習或機器學習替代方案的高性能計算應用程序或計算機視覺算法、圖像處理算法。
And so our company is focused on accelerated computing.
所以我們公司專注於加速計算。
And speaking of inference, that's one of the reasons why we're so successful in inference right now.
說到推理,這就是我們現在推理如此成功的原因之一。
We're seeing really great pickup.
我們看到了非常棒的皮卡。
And the reason for that is because the type of models that people want to run on one application, and let's just use one application, one very, very exciting one, conversational AI, you would have to do speech recognition.
原因是人們想要在一個應用程序上運行的模型類型,讓我們只使用一個應用程序,一個非常非常令人興奮的,對話式人工智能,你必須做語音識別。
You would have to then do natural language understanding to understand what the speech is.
然後,您必須進行自然語言理解才能理解語音是什麼。
You might have to convert -- you have to translate to another language.
你可能需要轉換——你必須翻譯成另一種語言。
Then you have to do something related to maybe making a recommendation or making a search.
然後你必須做一些與推薦或搜索相關的事情。
And then after that, you have to convert that recommendation and search and the intent into speech.
然後在那之後,您必須將該推薦和搜索以及意圖轉換為語音。
While some of it could be 8-bit integers, some of it really wants to be 16-bit floating point.
雖然其中一些可能是 8 位整數,但其中一些確實希望是 16 位浮點。
And some of it because of development state of it may want to be in 32-bit floating point.
其中一些由於它的開發狀態可能希望處於 32 位浮點。
And so the mixed precision nature and the computational algorithm nature or flexibility nature of our approach make it possible for cloud providers and people who are developing AI applications to not have to worry about exactly what model it runs or not.
因此,我們方法的混合精度性質和計算算法性質或靈活性性質使雲提供商和正在開發 AI 應用程序的人不必擔心它運行或不運行什麼模型。
We run every single model.
我們運行每一個模型。
And if it doesn't currently run, we'll help you make it run.
如果它當前沒有運行,我們將幫助您使其運行。
And so the flexibility of our architecture and the incredible performance in deep learning is really a great balance and allows customers to deploy it easily.
因此,我們架構的靈活性和深度學習中令人難以置信的性能確實是一個很好的平衡,允許客戶輕鬆部署它。
So our strategy is very different than an accelerator.
因此,我們的策略與加速器非常不同。
I think the only accelerators that I really see successful at the moment are the ones that go into smart speakers.
我認為目前我真正看到成功的唯一加速器是用於智能揚聲器的加速器。
And surely, there are a whole bunch being talked about, but I think the real challenge is how to make it run real, real workloads.
當然,有很多人在談論,但我認為真正的挑戰是如何讓它運行真實的、真實的工作負載。
And we're going to keep cranking along in our current strategy and keep raising the bar as we have in the past.
我們將繼續按照我們目前的戰略前進,並像過去一樣繼續提高標準。

我認為,當涉及到培訓時,如果您的基礎架構團隊告訴您不要購買任何東西,那麼受影響的就是上市時間和一些實驗,這些實驗可以讓您獲得更好的組合併等待更長的時間。
And I think that for computer vision type of algorithms and recommendation type of algorithms, those -- that posture may not be impossible.
而且我認為對於計算機視覺類型的算法和推薦類型的算法,那些——那種姿勢可能不是不可能的。
However, the type of work that everybody is now jumping on top of, which is natural language understanding and conversational AI and the breakthrough that Microsoft just announced, if you want to keep up with that, you're going to have to buy much, much larger machines.
但是,現在每個人都在跳槽的工作類型,即自然語言理解和對話式人工智能以及微軟剛剛宣布的突破,如果你想跟上它,你將不得不買很多,更大的機器。
And I'm looking forward to that, and I expect that that's going to happen.
我很期待,我希望這會發生。
But in the latter part of last year, Q4 and Q1 of this year, we did see pause from the hyperscalers and -- but I don't expect it to last.

Just as a quick follow-up, I just wanted to ask about the regulatory around Mellanox in the context of what we're seeing out of China now.
作為快速跟進,我只是想在我們現在在中國看到的情況下詢問有關 Mellanox 的監管情況。
How do we sort of gauge the risk of, I guess, potential for the deterioration in relationships sort of spilling over on the regulatory front around that deal?
我想,我們如何衡量關係惡化的風險可能會蔓延到圍繞該交易的監管方面?
We've seen that obviously with some of the other large deals in the space.

Well, on first principles, the acquisition is going to enable data centers around the world, whether it's U.S. or elsewhere in China, to be able to advance much, much more quickly.
嗯,首先,此次收購將使世界各地的數據中心,無論是美國還是中國其他地方,都能夠更快地發展。
We're going to invest and building infrastructure technology.
我們將投資和建設基礎設施技術。
And as a combined company, we'll be able to do that much better.

I guess a question on the noncloud part of your data center business.
我想關於您的數據中心業務的非雲部分的問題。
So if you think about the trends you're seeing in enterprise virtualization, in HPC and all the work you're doing around RAPIDS, rendering, et cetera, can you kind of talk through the visibility you have today for that part of your business?
因此,如果您考慮一下您在企業虛擬化、HPC 以及您圍繞 RAPIDS、渲染等所做的所有工作中看到的趨勢,您能否談談您今天對這部分業務的可見性?
I think that's roughly 50% of the mix.

We expected to grow in 2019.
我們預計 2019 年將增長。
The -- a lot of our T4 inference work is related to what people call edge computing.
我們的很多 T4 推理工作都與人們所說的邊緣計算有關。
And it has to be done at the edge because of the amount of data that otherwise would be transferred to the cloud is just too much.
並且必須在邊緣完成,因為否則將傳輸到雲的數據量太多了。
It has to be done at the edge because of data sovereignty issues and data privacy issues.
由於數據主權問題和數據隱私問題,它必須在邊緣完成。
And it has to be done at the edge because the latency requirement is really, really high.
它必須在邊緣完成,因為延遲要求非常非常高。
It has to respond basically like a reflex and to make a prediction or make a suggestion or stop a piece of machinery instantaneously.
它必須像反射一樣做出基本反應,做出預測或提出建議或立即停止機器。
And so a lot of that work, a lot of the work that we're doing in T4 inference is partly in the cloud, a lot of it is at the edge.
因此,我們在 T4 推理中所做的很多工作,很多工作都在雲端,很多都在邊緣。
T4 servers for enterprise were announced, I guess, about halfway through the quarter.
我猜,大約在本季度中途發布了面向企業的 T4 服務器。
And the OEMs are super excited about that because the number of companies in the world who want to do data analytics, predictive analytics is quite large, and the size of the data is growing so significantly.
OEM 對此感到非常興奮,因為世界上想要進行數據分析、預測分析的公司數量非常多,而且數據的規模也在顯著增長。
And with Moore's Law ending, it's really hard to power through terabytes of data at a time.
隨著摩爾定律的終結,一次處理數 TB 的數據真的很困難。
And so we've been working on building the software stack from the new memory architectures and storage architectures all the way to the computational middleware, and it's called RAPIDS.
因此,我們一直致力於構建從新的內存架構和存儲架構一直到計算中間件的軟件堆棧,它被稱為 RAPIDS。
And I appreciate you saying that, and that's being put together.
我很欣賞你這麼說,並且正在整合。
And the activity in GitHub is just fantastic.

And so you can see all kinds of companies jumping in to make contributions because they would like to be able to take that open-source software and run it in their own data center on our GPUs.
所以你可以看到各種各樣的公司加入進來做出貢獻,因為他們希望能夠採用開源軟件並在他們自己的數據中心在我們的 GPU 上運行它。
And so I expect the enterprise side of our business, both for enterprise big data analytics or for edge computing, to be a really good growth driver for us this year.
因此,我預計我們業務的企業方面,無論是企業大數據分析還是邊緣計算,都將成為今年我們的一個非常好的增長動力。

Our automotive strategy has several components.
我們的汽車戰略有幾個組成部分。
There's the engineering component of it where we -- our engineers and their engineers have to codevelop the autonomous vehicles.
它的工程部分是我們——我們的工程師和他們的工程師必須共同開發自動駕駛汽車。
And then there's 3 other components.
然後還有其他 3 個組件。
There's the component of AI computing infrastructure we call DGX and/or any of the OEM service that include our GPUs that are used for developing the AIs.
有我們稱為 DGX 的 AI 計算基礎設施組件和/或任何 OEM 服務,包括我們用於開發 AI 的 GPU。
The cars are collecting a couple of terabytes per day per test car, and all of that data has to be powered through and crunched through in the data center.
這些汽車每天每輛測試汽車收集幾 TB 的數據,所有這些數據都必須在數據中心進行供電和處理。
And so we have an infrastructure of what we call DGX that people could use, and we're seeing a lot of success there.
所以我們有一個人們可以使用的我們稱之為 DGX 的基礎設施,我們在那裡看到了很多成功。
We just announced this last quarter, a new infrastructure called Constellation that lets you essentially drive thousands and thousands of test cars in your data center, and they're all going through pseudo-directed random or directed scenarios that allows you to either test untestable scenarios or regress against previous scenarios, and we call that Constellation.
我們剛剛在上個季度宣布了一個名為 Constellation 的新基礎架構,它可以讓您在數據中心內駕駛成千上萬輛測試汽車,它們都在經歷偽定向隨機或定向場景,您可以測試不可測試的場景或者回歸到以前的場景,我們稱之為星座。
And then lastly, after working on a car for several years, we would install the computer inside the car, and we call that DRIVE.
最後,在汽車上工作了幾年之後,我們將電腦安裝在車內,我們稱之為 DRIVE。
And so these are the 4 components of opportunities that we have in the automotive industry.
因此,這些是我們在汽車行業擁有的機會的 4 個組成部分。
We're doing great in China.
我們在中國做得很好。
There's a whole bunch of electric vehicles being created.
有一大堆電動汽車正在被創造出來。
The robotaxis' developments around the world largely use NVIDIA's technology.
世界各地的自動駕駛出租車開發主要使用 NVIDIA 的技術。
We recently announced the partnership with Toyota.
我們最近宣布與豐田合作。
There's a whole bunch of stuff that we're working on, and I'm anxious to announce them to you.
我們正在處理一大堆東西,我急於向你宣布。
But this is an area that is the tip of the iceberg of a larger space we call robotics and computing at the edge.
但這是一個我們稱之為機器人和邊緣計算的更大空間的冰山一角的領域。
But if you think about the basic computational pipeline of a self-driving car, it's no different essentially than a smart retail or the future of computational medical instruments, agriculture, industrial inspection, delivery drones, all basically use essentially the same technique.
但是,如果您考慮自動駕駛汽車的基本計算管道,它與智能零售或計算醫療器械、農業、工業檢查、交付無人機的未來本質上沒有什麼不同,它們基本上都使用相同的技術。
And so this is the foundational work that we're going to do for a larger space that people call the intelligent edge or computing at the edge.

First question is on notebooks and just to clarify what's been different from your expectations this year.
第一個問題是關於筆記本的,只是為了澄清今年與您的預期不同的地方。
Is it simply that the OEMs didn't launch the new models you'd expected given the shortage?
僅僅是因為短缺,原始設備製造商沒有推出您預期的新型號嗎?
Or is it more just about unit volume?
或者更多的是單位體積?
And then just following up on that, what's your level of confidence in that coming back to be a driver as you go into the second half of the year?
然後只是跟進這一點,你對進入下半年成為一名車手的信心如何?
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
In Q2, we were -- we had to deal with some CPU shortage issues at the OEMs.
在第二季度,我們不得不處理 OEM 的一些 CPU 短缺問題。
It's improving, but the initial ramp will be affected.
它正在改善,但最初的斜坡會受到影響。
And so the CPU shortage situation has been described fairly broadly, and it affected our initial ramp.
所以 CPU 短缺的情況已經被相當廣泛地描述了,它影響了我們最初的斜坡。
We don't expect it to affect our ramp going forward.
我們預計它不會影響我們前進的坡道。
And the new category of gaming notebooks that we created called Max-Q has made it possible for really amazing gaming performance to fit into a thin and light.
而我們創建的名為 Max-Q 的新型遊戲筆記本電腦使真正驚人的遊戲性能成為可能,適合輕薄。
And these new generations of notebooks with our Max-Q design and the Turing GPU, which is super energy efficient, in combination, made it possible for OEMs to create notebooks that are both affordable all the way down to $799, thin and really delightful, all the way up to something incredible with RTX 2080 and a 4K display.
這些新一代筆記本電腦採用我們的 Max-Q 設計和超節能的 Turing GPU 相結合,使 OEM 能夠創造出價格低至 799 美元、輕薄且令人愉悅的筆記本電腦,一直到 RTX 2080 和 4K 顯示器令人難以置信的東西。
And these are thin notebooks that are really beautiful that people would love to use.
這些是人們喜歡使用的非常漂亮的薄筆記本。
And this -- the invention of the Max-Q design method and all the software that went into it that we announced last year, we had -- I think last year, we had some 40 notebooks or so, maybe a little bit less than that.
而這個——Max-Q 設計方法的發明以及我們去年宣布的所有軟件,我們有——我想去年,我們有大約 40 台筆記本電腦,也許比那。
And this year, we have some 100 notebooks that are being designed at different price segments by different OEMs across different regions.
今年,我們有大約 100 款筆記本電腦,由不同地區的不同 OEM 以不同價格段設計。
And so I think this year is going to be quite a successful year for notebooks.
所以我認為今年對於筆記本來說將是非常成功的一年。
And it's also the most successful segment of consumer PCs.
它也是消費類 PC 中最成功的部分。
It's the fastest-growing segment.
這是增長最快的部分。
It is very largely underpenetrated because until Max-Q came along, it wasn't really possible to design a notebook that is both great in performance and experience and also something that a gamer would like to own.
它的滲透率非常低,因為在 Max-Q 出現之前,實際上不可能設計出一款性能和體驗都很好的筆記本電腦,同時也是遊戲玩家想要擁有的東西。
And so finally, we've been able to solve that difficult puzzle and created powerful gaming machines that are inside a notebook that's really wonderful to own and carry around.
所以最後,我們已經能夠解決這個難題,並創造出功能強大的遊戲機,這些遊戲機裝在一個非常適合擁有和隨身攜帶的筆記本電腦中。
And so this is going to be a really -- this is a fast-growing segment, and all the OEMs know it.
所以這將是一個真正的 - 這是一個快速增長的細分市場,所有 OEM 都知道這一點。
And that's why they put so much energy into creating all these different types of designs and styles and sizes and shapes.
這就是為什麼他們投入如此多的精力來創造所有這些不同類型的設計、風格、尺寸和形狀。
And we have 100 Turing GPU notebooks, gaming PCs ramping right now.
我們有 100 台 Turing GPU 筆記本電腦,遊戲 PC 正在迅速發展。

That's very helpful.

As a follow-up, I just want to follow up on some of the previous questions on the automotive market.
作為後續,我只想跟進之前關於汽車市場的一些問題。
And we've been talking about it for a while.
我們已經討論了一段時間了。
Obviously, the design cycles are very long, so you do have some visibility, and I guess the question is when can we expect an acceleration of auto revenue.
顯然,設計週期很長,所以你確實有一些可見性,我想問題是我們什麼時候可以期待汽車收入的加速。
Is next year the year?
明年是一年嗎?
And then what will be the driver of that in terms of dollar contribution?
那麼,就美元貢獻而言,驅動因素是什麼?
I presume some of the Level 2+ things you've been talking about would probably mean most likely they're given the amount of volume there.
我想你一直在談論的一些 2 級以上的事情可能意味著他們很可能在那裡獲得了音量。
If you can confirm that and just give some color on expectations for drivers.
如果你能確認這一點,並就對司機的期望給出一些顏色。
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-Founder, CEO, President & Director
Yes.
是的。
Level 2+, call it 2020, late 2021 or like 2022-ish.
2+ 級,稱之為 2020 年、2021 年末或類似 2022 年。
So that's Level 2+.
所以這是2級以上。
I would say 2019, very, very early for robotaxis; next year, substantially more volume for robotaxis; 2021, bigger volumes for robotaxis.
我想說的是 2019 年,對於機器人出租車來說非常非常早;明年,自動駕駛出租車的銷量將大幅增加; 2021 年,機器人出租車的銷量會更大。
The ASP differences, the amount of computation you put into a robotaxi because of sensor resolutions, sensor diversity and redundancy, the computational redundancy and the richness of the algorithm, all of it put together, it's probably an order of magnitude plus in computation.
ASP 差異、由於傳感器分辨率、傳感器多樣性和冗餘度、計算冗餘度和算法的豐富性而導致的自動駕駛出租車的計算量,所有這些放在一起,可能是計算量的一個數量級。
And so the economics would reflect that.
所以經濟學會反映這一點。
And so that robotaxi is kind of like next year, the year after, ramp.
所以機器人出租車有點像明年,後年,坡道。
And then think of Level 2+ as 2021, 2022.
然後將 2+ 級視為 2021 年、2022 年。
Overall, remember that our economics come from 4 different parts.
總的來說,請記住,我們的經濟學來自 4 個不同的部分。
And so there's the NRE components of it, there's the AI development infrastructure, computing infrastructure part of it, the simulation part of it called Constellation and then the economics of the car.
所以有它的 NRE 組件,有人工智能開發基礎設施,它的計算基礎設施部分,它的模擬部分稱為星座,然後是汽車的經濟性。
And so we just announced Constellation.
所以我們剛剛宣布了星座。
The enthusiasm around it is really great.
周圍的熱情真是太棒了。
Nobody should ever ship anything they don't simulate.
任何人都不應該運送他們不模擬的任何東西。
And my expectation is that billions of miles will get simulated inside a simulator long before they'll ship it.
我的期望是,數十億英里將在他們發貨之前在模擬器中進行模擬。
And so that's a great opportunity for Constellation.
所以這對星座來說是一個很好的機會。

I have a few questions, one for Jensen and one for Colette.
我有幾個問題,一個問 Jensen,一個問 Colette。
I guess, Jensen, you've done -- you said in many forums that the move down to the new process node at 7-nanometer across the business was not really sufficient to have a platform approach, and I agree with that.
我想,Jensen,你已經做到了——你在許多論壇上說過,在整個業務中向下移動到 7 納米的新工藝節點並不足以擁有平台方法,我同意這一點。
But maybe you could talk a little bit about your product plans at least in general terms around a 7-nanometer franchise in the gaming business and also in your training accelerator program.
但也許你可以談談你的產品計劃,至少籠統地圍繞遊戲業務中的 7 納米特許經營權以及你的培訓加速器計劃。
And I wonder if that might be waiting for some of those products or at least anticipation of those might be the cause of a little bit of a pause here.

The entire reason for Q4 and Q1 is attributed to oversupply in the channel as a result of cryptocurrency.
第四季度和第一季度的全部原因歸因於加密貨幣導致渠道供過於求。
It has nothing to do with Turing.
這與圖靈無關。
In fact, Turing is off to a faster start than Pascal was, and it continues to be on a faster pace than Pascal was.
事實上,圖靈的起步比帕斯卡更快,而且它繼續比帕斯卡更快。
And so the pause in gaming is now behind us.
所以遊戲的停頓現在已經過去了。
We're in a growth trajectory with gaming.
我們正處於遊戲的增長軌跡。
RTX has -- took the lead on ray tracing and has now become the standard for next-generation gaming, support from basically every major platform and software provider on the planet.
RTX 在光線追踪方面處於領先地位,現已成為下一代遊戲的標準,得到了地球上幾乎所有主要平台和軟件提供商的支持。
And our notebook growth is going to be really great because of the Max-Q design that we invented.
由於我們發明的 Max-Q 設計,我們的筆記本電腦的增長將會非常好。
And the last couple of quarters would also intersect it with -- overlap with the seasonal slowdown that -- not sell but build -- the seasonal builds of the Nintendo Switch, and we're going to go back to the normal build cycle.
最後幾個季度也將與 - 與季節性放緩重疊 - 不是銷售而是構建 - Nintendo Switch的季節性構建,我們將回到正常的構建週期。
And as Colette said earlier, somewhere between Q2 and Q3, we'll get back to normal levels for gaming.
正如 Colette 之前所說,在 Q2 和 Q3 之間的某個時間點,我們將恢復到正常的遊戲水平。
And so we're off to a great start in Turing, and I'm super excited about that.
所以我們在圖靈有了一個很好的開端,我對此感到非常興奮。
And in the second half of the year, we would have fully ramped up from top to bottom our Turing architecture, spanning everything from 179 to as high performance as you like.
而在下半年,我們將從上到下全面提升圖靈架構,涵蓋從 179 到高性能的所有內容。
And we have the best price, best performance and best GPU at every single price point.
我們在每個價位都擁有最優惠的價格、最佳性能和最佳 GPU。
And so I think we're in a pretty good shape.
所以我認為我們的狀態非常好。
In terms of process nodes, we tend to design our own process with TSMC.
在工藝節點方面,我們傾向於與台積電一起設計自己的工藝。
If you look at our process and you measure its energy efficiency, it's off the charts.
如果您查看我們的流程並衡量其能源效率,就會發現它是超乎想像的。
And in fact, if you take our Turing and you compare it against a 7-nanometer GPU on energy efficiency, it's incomparable.
事實上,如果你拿我們的 Turing 和 7 納米 GPU 的能效進行比較,它是無法比擬的。
In fact, the world's 7-nanometer GPU already exists.
事實上,世界上的 7 納米 GPU 已經存在。
And it's easy to go and pull that and compare the performance and energy efficiency against one of our Turing GPUs.
並且很容易將其與我們的一款圖靈 GPU 進行比較性能和能源效率。
And so the real focus for our engineering team is to engineer a process that makes sense for us and to create an architecture that is energy efficient.
因此,我們工程團隊的真正重點是設計一個對我們有意義的流程,並創建一個節能的架構。
And the combination of those 2 things allows us to sustain our leadership position.
這兩件事的結合使我們能夠維持我們的領導地位。
Otherwise, buying off the shelf process is something that we can surely do, but we want to do much more than that.
否則,我們當然可以購買現成的流程,但我們想做的遠不止這些。

超大規模支出的停頓將會過去。
Accelerated computing in AI are the greatest forces in computing today, and NVIDIA is leading these movements.
AI 中的加速計算是當今計算領域最強大的力量,而 NVIDIA 正在引領這些運動。
Whether cloud or enterprise or AI at the edge for 5G or industries, NVIDIA's one scalable architecture from cloud to edge is the focal point platform for the industry to build AI upon.
無論是雲、企業還是 5G 或行業邊緣的 AI,NVIDIA 的一種從雲到邊緣的可擴展架構都是行業構建 AI 的焦點平台。
Third, robotics.
第三,機器人。
Some call it an embedded AI, some edge AI or autonomous machines.
有人稱其為嵌入式人工智能、一些邊緣人工智能或自主機器。
The same computing architecture is used for self-driving cars, pick-and-place robotics arms, delivery drones and smart retail stores.
相同的計算架構用於自動駕駛汽車、拾放機器人手臂、交付無人機和智能零售店。
Everything machine -- every machine that moves or machines that watch other things that move, whether with driver or driverless, will have robotics and AI capabilities.
一切機器——每台移動的機器或觀察其他移動物體的機器,無論是驅動還是無人駕駛,都將具有機器人技術和人工智能功能。
Our strategy is to create an end-to-end platform that spans NVIDIA's DGX AI computing infrastructure to NVIDIA Constellation simulation to NVIDIA AGX embedded AI computing.
我們的戰略是創建一個端到端平台,涵蓋 NVIDIA 的 DGX AI 計算基礎架構、NVIDIA Constellation 模擬和 NVIDIA AGX 嵌入式 AI 計算。
