DSI for the quarter was 46 days.
本季度的 DSI 為 46 天。
On the outlook, we've had two consecutive excellent quarters, where revenue has exceeded our expectations.
展望未來,我們已經連續兩個季度表現出色,收入超出了我們的預期。
Even with this, we currently see strong demand for our products, and as a result we expect revenue to grow in our fourth quarter.
儘管如此,我們目前看到對我們產品的強勁需求,因此我們預計第四季度的收入將增長。
Revenue growth in the 5% to 7% range would be within our expectations.

New products will help, but we are currently ahead of our plan in our progress.
新產品會有所幫助,但我們目前的進度領先於我們的計劃。
Operating expenses will increase in the fourth quarter, despite the catch-up that occurred in the third quarter.
儘管在第三季度發生了追趕,但第四季度的運營費用將增加。
This increase is the result of additional hiring and increased R&D expenses associated with new products.
這一增長是額外招聘和增加與新產品相關的研發費用的結果。
A total operating expense increase in the 3% to 5% is reasonable.
總運營費用增加 3% 至 5% 是合理的。
We would expect the tax rate to stay close to our 13%.
我們預計稅率將保持在接近 13% 的水平。
But if there is any adjustment, it would have a downward bias.
但如果有任何調整,就會有向下的偏向。
In summary, we expect an excellent Q4.

越來越多的人認識到,GPU 的數據並行架構與 CPU 完全不同,對於一大類計算密集型數據並行應用程序,GPU 可以將性能從 10 倍提高到數百倍。
We expect our first application processor to sample at the beginning of next year.
我們預計我們的第一個應用處理器將在明年年初提供樣品。
We believe another personal computer revolution is about to happen.
我們相信另一場個人電腦革命即將發生。
Mobile devices like phones, music players and portable navigation devices will all increasingly become multifunction, multitasking personal computers.
手機、音樂播放器和便攜式導航設備等移動設備都將越來越多地成為多功能、多任務的個人電腦。
If so, the architecture of these devices will increasingly become consumer PC-like, and be capable of delivering all the entertainment and Web experiences we enjoy on our PC today, but in a form factor that fits nicely in your hands.
如果是這樣,這些設備的架構將越來越類似於消費類 PC,並且能夠提供我們今天在 PC 上享受的所有娛樂和 Web 體驗,但外形尺寸適合您的手。
Our mobile strategy is to drive the second personal computer revolution by creating a from-the-ground-up application processor and system on a chip that enables this experience.
我們的移動戰略是通過創建一個全新的應用處理器和片上系統來推動第二次個人計算機革命,從而實現這種體驗。
[AP15], as it is called internally, is the culmination of several hundred man-years of R&D.
[AP15],正如內部所說,是數百人年研發的結晶。
The mobile application processor is an area where we can add a tremendous amount of value and represents a several hundred million units a year growth opportunity.
移動應用處理器是一個可以增加巨大價值的領域,它代表著每年數億個單位的增長機會。

The ASPs on the MCP73 or the GeForce 7000 is slightly higher on the Intel side.
MCP73 或 GeForce 7000 上的 ASP 在 Intel 方面略高。
But it should be targeted -- we're targeting that product to be in the mainstream price-sensitive segment, so that we can bring GeForce to as many people as possible.
但它應該是有針對性的——我們的目標是將該產品定位在對價格敏感的主流細分市場,以便我們可以將 GeForce 帶給盡可能多的人。
That's a rather large segment, and we think it represents about 40 million units of incremental opportunity for us next year.
這是一個相當大的部分,我們認為它代表了我們明年大約 4000 萬單位的增量機會。

When we globalize to China and India and other Eastern European countries and we collaborate across the network and we design 24 hours a day, it makes perfect sense that you would need compatible workstations all over the world.
當我們全球化到中國、印度和其他東歐國家,我們通過網絡進行合作,我們每天 24 小時進行設計時,您將需要在世界各地兼容的工作站是完全合理的。
Simultaneously, some of these economies are no longer just manufacturing economies, but they are moving into design economies.
同時,其中一些經濟體不再僅僅是製造業經濟體,而是正在進入設計經濟體。
So, as you know, China is moving very, very quickly up the food chain and more and more unique designs are coming out of China.

Gentlemen, you mentioned that you think the motherboard GPU is an incremental 40 million unit opportunity.

These products seem to be competing very effectively against the lower end of the discrete GPU market and seem to have a significantly lower price point.
這些產品似乎在與低端獨立 GPU 市場進行非常有效的競爭,而且價格似乎要低得多。
So do you view this as an incremental opportunity, or do you view this to some extent as a substitution of some of the existing stack of the product?
那麼你認為這是一個增量機會,還是在某種程度上認為這是對現有產品堆棧的一些替代?

Well, the GeForce 7000 really isn't high-performance enough to be a replacement for even our entry-level GPU.
好吧,GeForce 7000 的高性能確實不足以替代我們的入門級 GPU。
So that's not -- and you know our discrete GPU -- as, I think, one of the data points that Marv just mentioned, our discrete GPU will be vastly converted to DX10 very, very shortly.
所以這不是——而且你知道我們的離散 GPU——因為我認為,Marv 剛剛提到的數據點之一,我們的離散 GPU 將很快大量轉換為 DX10。
So this is really targeting the segment that's underneath it, the 60% of the marketplace that we don't really serve today.

The notebook market has been doing very well lately, but maybe partly at the expense of desktop segment, where you have higher exposure.
筆記本電腦市場最近表現非常好,但可能部分是以桌面市場為代價的,因為桌面市場的曝光率更高。
Can you help us understand how desktop replacement by notebooks is likely to affect your business going forward, now that you already have 70% plus share in notebooks?
既然您已經在筆記本電腦中佔有 70% 以上的份額,您能否幫助我們了解筆記本電腦替代台式機可能會如何影響您的業務?

Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-founder, President and
The notebook market is certainly doing very well, and I'd expect that one of the areas where the notebook market is just starting to see growth, but it will see a lot more growth in the coming years, is the gaming notebook segment and the mobile workstation segment.
筆記本電腦市場當然表現非常好,我預計筆記本電腦市場剛剛開始增長的領域之一是遊戲筆記本電腦市場和未來幾年將出現更多增長。移動工作站部分。
These two segments are growing very quickly, and I expect that we'll be able to add a lot of value to those two platforms in the future.
這兩個細分市場正在快速增長,我希望我們將來能夠為這兩個平台增加很多價值。
We're not too hung up about where people buy our GPUs.
我們不太關心人們在哪裡購買我們的 GPU。
We are delighted by the proliferation of platforms.
我們對平台的激增感到高興。
Whereas people typically tend to have one or two desktop PCs in their house, they may have four and, in my case, eight laptops at home.
儘管人們通常傾向於在家中擁有一到兩台台式電腦,但他們家中可能有四台,就我而言,是八台筆記本電腦。
So it's a little bit like a cellphone, I guess.
所以它有點像手機,我猜。
You just buy a whole bunch of them over time.
隨著時間的推移,您只需購買一大堆。
So I think that the notebook market is not completely a replacement market, frankly.
所以坦率地說,我認為筆記本市場並不完全是一個替代市場。
I think that a lot of it is an additive market, and certainly it has exceeded most people's expectations.
我認為其中很大一部分是添加劑市場,而且肯定超出了大多數人的預期。

Another question along the same lines.
另一個類似的問題。
As your footprint within the notebook market has grown, have you been finding this market more competitive than your discreet GPU business, given that in this business Intel can bundle their chipsets with their CPUs, if they want to?
隨著您在筆記本電腦市場的足跡不斷擴大,您是否發現這個市場比您謹慎的 GPU 業務更具競爭力,因為英特爾可以在此業務中將其芯片組與 CPU 捆綁在一起,如果他們願意的話?
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-founder, President and
Jen-Hsun Huang - Co-founder, President and
Intel is definitely a very competitive company, and we've been competing against bundling for, I guess, quite some time, both, I guess, whether it's price bundling or other bundling.
英特爾絕對是一家非常有競爭力的公司,我想我們一直在與捆綁競爭有一段時間了,我想無論是價格捆綁還是其他捆綁。
The bottom line is we just have to add value.

Then I noticed -- so margins were up, and you talked about, I think, royalties from Sony as being one of the drivers.
然後我注意到——所以利潤率上升了,我認為你談到了索尼的版稅是驅動因素之一。
But consumer revenue was up about 6%.
但消費者收入增長了約 6%。
I was wondering if you could give us any color around consumer revenue, and then also if you could just help us understand the total impact that royalties had on gross margin improvement.
我想知道你是否可以給我們關於消費者收入的任何顏色,然後你是否可以幫助我們了解版稅對毛利率提高的總體影響。
Marv Burkett - CFO
Marv Burkett - CFO
Well, any increase in royalties is 100% gross margin.
好吧,任何特許權使用費的增加都是 100% 的毛利率。
So I would say that our royalty income from PS3 increased significantly from Q2 to Q3; it more than doubled.
所以我想說我們從 PS3 獲得的版稅收入從第二季度到第三季度顯著增加;它增加了一倍多。
So that had an impact on our gross margins.
所以這對我們的毛利率產生了影響。
Was it the driving factor?
這是驅動因素嗎?
Probably not, but it was one of the factors that improved gross margins.
可能不會,但這是提高毛利率的因素之一。
The fact that that increase would probably account for most of the increase in the consumer business is probably true.

All I can tell you is that the Professional Solutions Group is doing well, and they're strategically very well-positioned.
我只能告訴你,專業解決方案集團做得很好,而且他們在戰略上處於非常有利的位置。
They add a lot of value to the marketplace.

Our business, what some people call the workstations business, what we call the Professional Solutions business, is really a combination of GPU technology and a lot of software system component technology and expertise.
我們的業務,有些人稱之為工作站業務,我們稱之為專業解決方案業務,實際上是 GPU 技術與大量軟件系統組件技術和專業知識的結合。
We have one of the -- if not, in my expectation, to be the largest developer technology organization in the world.

With respect our application processor business, we're going to focus on segments of the handheld marketplace where computing is particularly important.
關於我們的應用處理器業務,我們將專注於計算尤為重要的手持市場領域。
If you take a look at all the handhelds in the world, really with the exception of the iPhone, every other phone in the world wants to be a computer but has a long way to go.
如果你看看世界上所有的手持設備,真的除了 iPhone,世界上所有其他手機都想成為一台電腦,但還有很長的路要走。
This is where we could add a lot of value.

NVIDIA is fundamentally a computer technology company.
英偉達本質上是一家計算機技術公司。

First, on the mainstream growth or maybe also the low end of the discrete, obviously, in the domestic markets so much enthusiasm around digital video and high-resolution photography with things YouTube and digital SLRs and the uptake of premium Vista -- I assume that has been a lot of the growth there.
首先,在主流增長或離散的低端,顯然,在國內市場對數字視頻和高分辨率攝影以及 YouTube 和數字單反相機的熱情以及高端 Vista 的採用——我假設那裡已經有了很大的增長。
But can you talk about that same market overseas, where so much more of the overall PC market growth is, especially in developing countries like India and China, where I assume the market is more price-sensitive?
但是你能談談海外的同一個市場嗎,那裡的整體 PC 市場增長更多,尤其是在印度和中國等發展中國家,我認為那裡的市場對價格更加敏感?
Then secondly, on the mobile phone business, you gave us a little bit of mapping for the app processor.

I would say that the developing markets are being driven right now by online games, which is really a craze in China and India, and the online game market is really doing fabulously out there.
我想說的是,發展中市場現在正受到網絡遊戲的推動,這在中國和印度真的很熱,而且網絡遊戲市場在那裡的表現真的很棒。
Games are free, and you pay for the service and you pay as you go.
遊戲是免費的,您需要為服務付費,並且隨用隨付。
So really a good way great way for them to meet their friends and meet people on the Web.
因此,對於他們來說,這是一個在網絡上結識朋友和認識人們的好方法。
So that's a real growth driver.
所以這是一個真正的增長動力。
Another one, of course, is their purchasing power in the foreign countries are becoming quite good, and as a result they can buy up on their configurations.
另一個當然是他們在國外的購買力越來越好,因此他們可以購買他們的配置。
One of the best ways to improve your experience to buy up on the configuration is to add a GPU.
改善購買配置的體驗的最佳方法之一是添加 GPU。
So I think those factors are quite important gross drivers for us internationally, irrespective of Vista.
所以我認為這些因素在國際上對我們來說都是非常重要的總驅動力,無論 Vista 是什麼。
Internationally, Vista is doing well everywhere.
在國際上,Vista 在任何地方都做得很好。
I don't think it's not doing well in China; I frankly think that it's doing very well in China and it will do very well in India as well.
我不認為它在中國做得不好。坦率地說,我認為它在中國做得很好,在印度也會做得很好。
Any consumer will enjoy Vista.
任何消費者都會喜歡 Vista。
With respect to the application processors, the handheld business, we haven't shipped much application processors.
關於應用處理器,手持業務,我們還沒有出貨太多的應用處理器。
We haven't shipped any of our AP15 yet.

But if you look forward, say, for the next 12 months, what are some of the biggest [lever section] improved margins, both at the gross and operating margin levels?
但是,如果您展望未來 12 個月,那麼在毛利率和營業利潤率水平上,最大的 [槓桿部分] 利潤率提高有哪些?
Is it more like a product mix between chipsets, GPU, Tesla, or between product families like, say, a G92?

We've not increased our gross margins by raising prices once, and the reason for that is because it's hard to grow while you are raising prices.
我們沒有通過一次提價來增加毛利率,原因是你提價時很難增長。
So we remain very competitive in the marketplace.
因此,我們在市場上仍然非常具有競爭力。
Where we have improved all of our gross margins is internal operational improvements.
我們提高所有毛利率的地方是內部運營改進。
I'll tell you that I have a lot of work left to do.
我會告訴你,我還有很多工作要做。
So there are quite a bit of internal -- just the things that we can do inside, all within the walls of our company.
