  • Extension of this credit was enacted during our fourth quarter, bringing our effective tax rates down for the year to roughly 15% for GAAP and non-GAAP, in line with our outlook with the inclusion of this credit.

    我們在第四季度實施了此項抵免的延期,使我們的 GAAP 和非 GAAP 的全年有效稅率降低至約 15%,這與我們納入此項抵免後的展望一致。

  • Turning to the balance sheet, our position remains strong in the quarter and throughout the year.

    轉向資產負債表,我們的頭寸在本季度和全年都保持強勁。

  • Cash increased each quarter, reaching a record $3.73 billion at Q4, up 9% sequentially and up 19% on fiscal 2012.

  • Revenue is expected to be $940 million, plus or minus 2%.

    收入預計為 9.4 億美元,正負 2%。

  • We expect revenue for the first quarter to be less than Q4, reflecting lower GPU sales, in line with expectations for the PC industry, and lower Tegra sales as customer devices based on Tegra 3 rampdown ahead of Tegra 4 production.

    我們預計第一季度的收入將低於第四季度,這反映了 GPU 銷售額下降,這與 PC 行業的預期一致,以及基於 Tegra 3 的客戶設備在 Tegra 4 生產之前作為客戶設備的 Tegra 銷售額下降。

    對於非 GAAP,我們預計與我們的 GAAP 前景存在以下差異——毛利率約為 53.2%,與第四季度持平,運營支出約為 3.95 億美元。

  • This excludes stock-based compensation and certain charges related to acquisitions, in the aggregate of approximately $35 million.

    這不包括基於股票的薪酬和與收購相關的某些費用,總計約 3500 萬美元。

  • The increase in OpEx for Q1 over the fourth quarter is primarily due to the employee-related costs, including planned hiring for our key growth businesses, with the addition of a large FICA tax reset that occurs each -- the first quarter.

    與第四季度相比,第一季度運營支出的增加主要是由於與員工相關的成本,包括為我們的關鍵增長業務計劃的招聘,以及每個第一季度都會發生的大規模 FICA 稅收重置。

  • Depreciation and amortization are expected to be in the range of $59 million to $61 million, and capital expenditures of $55 million to $65 million.

    折舊和攤銷預計在 5900 萬美元到 6100 萬美元之間,資本支出在 5500 萬美元到 6500 萬美元之間。

    最後,我們將在 2014 財年第一季度支付下一季度每股 0.075 美元的現金股息。

  • On an annual basis, this is equivalent to $0.30 per share and approximates an annual yield of about 2.4%, based on yesterday's closing price of $12.43.

    按年計算,這相當於每股 0.30 美元,按昨天的收盤價 12.43 美元計算,年收益率約為 2.4%。

  • I was wondering if you could help us understand, in terms of the guidance from the revenue, which business segment -- is it going to be equally down as a percentage basis?

    我想知道你是否可以幫助我們了解,就收入的指導而言,哪個業務部門——它會以百分比的形式同樣下降嗎?

  • Or is one going to be down more than the other in your reporting segments?

    或者在您的報告細分中,一個會比另一個下降更多?

  • So, as I mentioned, we expect that our GPU business will be down very much in line with the PC industry.

    因此,正如我所提到的,我們預計我們的 GPU 業務將與 PC 行業非常一致。

  • And as you know, Intel, AMD, and other companies have already disclosed.

    如您所知,英特爾、AMD 和其他公司已經披露。

  • And then, the other component will be Tegra-related, which will be larger; and that, again, is the transition effect from T3 to Tegra 4.

    然後,另一個組件將與 Tegra 相關,它會更大;這也是從 T3 到 Tegra 4 的過渡效果。

  • Okay, thanks very much.

    好的,非常感謝。

  • And so, my follow-up question has to do with OpEx.

    因此,我的後續問題與運營支出有關。

  • So, that is a pretty big jump up in the GAAP OpEx of $430 million from your $402 million and then your $384 million in the prior quarter.

    因此,GAAP 運營支出從您的 4.02 億美元和上一季度的 3.84 億美元大幅增長 4.3 億美元。

  • So, as we are looking at the July and October, are we going to see OpEx sort of flattening out?

    那麼,當我們看到 7 月和 10 月時,我們會看到運營支出趨於平緩嗎?

  • Or are we going to continue to have these incremental increases?

    還是我們會繼續保持這些增量增長?

  • And I was wondering if you could help us a little bit with the OpEx.

    我想知道您是否可以在運營支出方面幫助我們一點。

  • Karen Burns - Interim CFO

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • So, as you saw last year, we had a similar jump, and we have it every first quarter.

    所以,正如你去年看到的那樣,我們也有類似的增長,我們每個第一季度都有。

  • And as I explained, it's really the FICA tax reset that hits us pretty hard in the first quarter.

    正如我解釋的那樣,第一季度對我們造成很大打擊的是 FICA 稅收重置。

  • And just like in fiscal 2013, OpEx levels off for the rest of the year, so we expect a similar type of impact this year.

    就像 2013 財年一樣,OpEx 在今年剩餘時間裡趨於平穩,所以我們預計今年也會產生類似的影響。

    去年,更具體地說,您為我們提供了運營支出和 Tegra 百分比增長的全年指導,這對於思考 NVIDIA 在 13 財年將在何處登陸非常有幫助。

  • Slide 12 in your presentation talks about your growth drivers.

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, Steve, first of all, thank you.

    好吧,史蒂夫,首先,謝謝你。

  • I think the -- we haven't decided yet whether to guide the full year or not.

    我認為 - 我們尚未決定是否指導全年。

  • At the moment, we have decided to guide a quarter out.

    目前,我們決定引導四分之一出去。

  • And to tell you the truth, I am not sure how helpful it was to all of you that we guided the whole year.

    說實話,我不確定我們全年指導對你們所有人有多大幫助。

  • And so, I think that at the moment, we are still thinking through it.

    所以,我認為目前,我們仍在考慮它。

  • But some of the comments that you heard related to -- in Rob's comments were that specific to Tegra, at this point we have more design wins than we had at this point with Tegra 3.

    但是你聽到的一些評論與——在 Rob 的評論中是特定於 Tegra 的,在這一點上,我們比 Tegra 3 獲得了更多的設計勝利。

  • You also heard that we are now sampling our 4G LTE modem, and this is a pretty large market.

    您還聽說我們現在正在對 4G LTE 調製解調器進行採樣,這是一個相當大的市場。

  • It's still early in the modem -- overall modem market.

    在調製解調器——整個調製解調器市場中,它還處於早期階段。

  • It's about 150 million units large projected this year, growing about 50% per year.

    預計今年的銷量約為 1.5 億台,每年增長約 50%。

  • The overall connected device market is probably about 1 billion, north of 1 billion units.

    整體連接設備市場可能約為 10 億台,超過 10 億台。

  • And so, there is still a lot of LTE 4G modems that need to be shipped.

    因此,仍有大量 LTE 4G 調製解調器需要發貨。

  • And this is really the first year where we have the ability to engage that market.

    這確實是我們有能力進入該市場的第一年。

  • So, we are really super excited about it, we are going to engage it very hard, and we are sampling modems around the world now.

    所以,我們對此感到非常興奮,我們將非常努力地參與其中,我們現在正在世界各地採樣調製解調器。

  • And so, those are good growth indicators for Tegra 4. The first quarter, always, we ramp down Tegra 3 as we ramp up 4. And hopefully in the future, as we get more and more into lower-end devices where the life cycle is a little longer, this transitional effect would be a lot -- would be less pronounced.

    因此,這些都是 Tegra 4 的良好增長指標。第一季度,我們總是在增加 Tegra 4 的同時減少 Tegra 3。希望在未來,隨著我們越來越多地進入生命週期低端設備再長一點,這種過渡效果就會很多——不會那麼明顯。

  • But this is something we expected, and it's something that we will transition into Tegra 4 as fast as we can.

    但這是我們所期望的,我們將盡快過渡到 Tegra 4。

  • Steve Eliscu - Analyst

  • As far as feedback, as far as the guidance, the first time you provided it, it was probably a bit premature.

    就反饋而言,就指導而言,您第一次提供它可能還為時過早。

  • But when you provided it a year ago for fiscal '13, it was extremely helpful, so we appreciate that.

    但是,當您在一年前為 '13 財年提供它時,它非常有幫助,因此我們對此表示感謝。

  • Just as a follow-up question here, we have heard about one of your primary competitors in the [RM] processor area talk about cleaning clocks of Tegra.

    就像這裡的後續問題一樣,我們聽說您在 [RM] 處理器領域的主要競爭對手之一談論清潔 Tegra 時鐘。

  • Can you give us a sense as to -- given some of the slippages that the trade press has reported with Tegra 4, that -- to give us confidence that indeed you will be able to maintain performance leadership when we see Tegra 4 come out?

    你能給我們一個感覺——鑑於貿易媒體報導的 Tegra 4 的一些滑點——讓我們相信,當我們看到 Tegra 4 推出時,你確實能夠保持性能領先?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, I guess I won't comment on his comment, and I don't know how he could possibly know the performance of Tegra 4. No one outside the Company knows the performance of Tegra 4, so that is number one.

    好吧,我想我不會評論他的評論,我也不知道他怎麼可能知道 Tegra 4 的性能。公司之外沒有人知道 Tegra 4 的性能,所以這是第一位的。

  • I will refrain from going any further.

    我不會再進一步了。

  • I would like to.

    我想。

  • But with respect to Tegra 4, I guess you are just going to have to wait just a little lodger, not much longer, and you will see performance evaluations of Tegra 4. And I think you will be quite pleased with them.

    但是對於 Tegra 4,我想你只需要等待一個小房客,不會多長時間,你就會看到 Tegra 4 的性能評估。我想你會對它們感到非常滿意。

  • Tegra 4 is many times higher performance than Tegra 3 in many areas, and it's designed to be very high-performance.

    Tegra 4 在許多方面的性能都比 Tegra 3 高很多倍,而且它的設計目的是非常高性能。

  • There is a lot of confidence in why we can deliver that performance leadership.

    我們對我們為什麼能夠提供這種績效領先地位充滿信心。

  • We said that about Tegra 3, and I think we delivered on that.

    我們說過 Tegra 3,我認為我們兌現了這一點。

  • This is an area that we are quite good at.

    這是我們非常擅長的一個領域。

  • So, whether it's CPU performance or GPU performance, or camera performance, these are three areas that we made big breakthroughs on.

    所以,無論是CPU性能還是GPU性能,還是攝像頭性能,這三個方面我們都取得了很大的突破。

  • But the two areas that are super important to our customers have to do with the battery life that we can sustain, despite the fact that our performance is really high.

    但是,對我們的客戶來說非常重要的兩個領域與我們可以維持的電池壽命有關,儘管我們的性能確實很高。

  • And it has to do with two very unique features.

    它與兩個非常獨特的功能有關。

  • One is our four plus one energy saving core.

    一是我們的四加一節能芯。

  • We invented this technology, and we are still the only Company in the world shipping this technology.

    我們發明了這項技術,而且我們仍然是世界上唯一一家提供這項技術的公司。

  • And none of our competitors have this technology as of yet, although some of them are talking about it in the future.

    到目前為止,我們的競爭對手都沒有這項技術,儘管他們中的一些人將來會談論它。

  • Second is the technology that is related to modulating the backlight on a per-pixel per-frame level.

    其次是與在每像素每幀級別上調製背光相關的技術。

  • That is something that is very unique to Tegra, and it saves hundreds of milliwatts.

    這是 Tegra 非常獨特的東西,它可以節省數百毫瓦。

  • Because as you could imagine, how much a display backlight consumes, it's getting higher and higher because the resolutions are getting higher and the displays are getting brighter and people expect more from their display.

    因為您可以想像,顯示器背光的消耗量會越來越高,因為分辨率越來越高,顯示器越來越亮,人們對顯示器的期望也越來越高。

  • This is a technology that is quite unique to us, and this is -- with Tegra 4, we have our second generation to that.

    這是一項對我們來說非常獨特的技術,這就是——使用 Tegra 4,我們有了第二代。

  • And so, we have introduced not only performance capabilities, but as well as battery-saving capabilities and new functionalities like our camera.

    因此,我們不僅引入了性能功能,還引入了省電功能和相機等新功能。

  • And so, I am looking forward to the reviewers, which ultimately the reviewers will tell us how their processor compares to ours.

    因此,我期待著審稿人,最終審稿人會告訴我們他們的處理器與我們的處理器相比如何。

  • But based on everything we know about [Crate], I think our position of Tegra 4 is going to be pretty extraordinary.

    但基於我們對 [Crate] 的了解,我認為我們在 Tegra 4 中的地位將非常不同尋常。

  • Our technology leadership position is pulling ahead, whereas graphics is important and it continues to be.

    我們的技術領先地位正在領先,而圖形很重要,而且仍然如此。

  • We have introduced new ways of rendering graphics, [Ray] tracing and other computational graphics capabilities.

    我們引入了渲染圖形、[Ray] 跟踪和其他計算圖形功能的新方法。

  • We have added simulation technology related to -- made possible by GPU computing, so that you can simulate and visualize at the same time., So, the capabilities that we provide is increasing.

    我們添加了與GPU計算相關的模擬技術,以便您可以同時進行模擬和可視化。因此,我們提供的功能正在增加。

  • We are just transitioning Kepler into our entire enterprise product line.

    我們只是將 Kepler 轉變為我們的整個企業產品線。

  • And Kepler, as you know, is just a wonderful GPU.

    如您所知,Kepler 只是一個出色的 GPU。

  • It's the best GPU we have ever built, it's the best GPU the industry has ever built.

    它是我們構建過的最好的 GPU,它是業界構建過的最好的 GPU。

  • And we are in the process of transitioning that into Quadro.

    我們正在將其轉換為 Quadro。

  • That has been offset.

    那已經被抵消了。

  • There is some offsetting dynamics related to the weakness of the enterprise market in some areas around the world.

    全球某些地區的企業市場疲軟存在一些抵消動力。

  • There were some delays related to the next-generation workstation motherboard from Intel, but I think their people are working through all of those issues and I think the dynamics will play out.

    英特爾的下一代工作站主板出現了一些延遲,但我認為他們的員工正在解決所有這些問題,我認為動態將會發揮作用。

  • Yes, so to answer your second part of your question -- so for this quarter, Q4, we saw some nice strength in Quadro.

    是的,所以回答你問題的第二部分——所以在本季度第四季度,我們看到了 Quadro 的一些不錯的實力。

  • Quarter over quarter, Quadro was up about 11%.

    Quadro 季度環比增長約 11%。

  • So, as Jen-Hsun mentioned, we have great plans with Kepler and our market opportunity.

    因此,正如 Jen-Hsun 所說,我們對 Kepler 和我們的市場機會有很好的計劃。

  • For next quarter, Q1, we are expecting relatively flat -- as Jen-Hsun mentioned again, there is some offsetting forces, and we are being a little bit conservative perhaps.

    對於下一季度,第一季度,我們預計相對持平——正如仁勳再次提到的,有一些抵消力量,我們可能有點保守。

  • But we had a really strong quarter in Q4.

    但我們在第四季度有一個非常強勁的季度。

  • Chris Caso - Analyst

  • As a follow-up, could you help us to calibrate our expectations for the PC graphics business as we go through the year?

    作為後續行動,您能否幫助我們調整對 PC 圖形業務的預期?

  • And understand you don't want to provide full-year guidance right now.

    並且了解您現在不想提供全年指導。

  • But what you guys have told us in the past is that your growth in PC graphics is not necessarily mirroring what is happening in the PC market.

    但是你們過去告訴我們的是,你們在 PC 圖形方面的增長不一定反映 PC 市場正在發生的事情。

  • There is gaming product cycles, your own product cycles there.

    那裡有遊戲產品週期,你自己的產品週期。

  • Could you give us some color on that?

    你能給我們一些顏色嗎?

  • And in addition, what your expectations are for market share?

    此外,您對市場份額的期望是什麼?

  • Particularly in notebook side this year, where you have gained some market share last year.

    特別是在今年的筆記本方面,去年你已經獲得了一些市場份額。

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • My expectation is that we will gain market share this year, or we will continue to gain market share this year.

    我的預期是今年我們將獲得市場份額,或者今年我們將繼續獲得市場份額。

  • With respect to PC graphics, PC graphics has two components to it.

    對於 PC 圖形,PC 圖形有兩個組成部分。

  • And I am excluding the Tesla GPU computing product line, I am excluding the workstation product line Quadro.

    而且我不包括Tesla GPU計算產品線,我不包括工作站產品線Quadro。

  • But PC graphics, the consumer product line has really two components.

    但是 PC 圖形,消費產品線實際上有兩個組成部分。

  • There is the OEM graphics, where the OEMs use our GPUs to differentiate their notebooks or differentiate their PCs.

    還有 OEM 顯卡,OEM 使用我們的 GPU 來區分他們的筆記本電腦或區分他們的 PC。

  • They add our GPUs, and because it's clearly additive and the performance is so much better, they could provide the same basic platform with a premium [SKU].

    他們添加了我們的 GPU,因為它顯然是附加的並且性能要好得多,所以他們可以為相同的基本平台提供高級 [SKU]。

  • That dynamic hasn't really changed, and my guess is that an OEM's desire to create premium products will continue to be there.

    這種動態並沒有真正改變,我的猜測是,OEM 製造優質產品的願望將繼續存在。

  • The larger dynamic, the larger market for PC graphics, is related to PC gaming.

    更大的動態、更大的 PC 圖形市場與 PC 遊戲有關。

  • We have always said that PC gaming is vibrant.

    我們一直說 PC 遊戲充滿活力。

  • We have said that PC gaming is in fact growing.

    我們已經說過,PC 遊戲實際上正在增長。

  • And the reason for that is because the PC platform is open and it allows for a lot of innovations -- not only for technology, but also for business models.

    這樣做的原因是因為 PC 平台是開放的,它允許進行大量創新——不僅在技術方面,而且在商業模式方面。

  • One of the most important new growth dynamic has to do with free to play.

    最重要的新增長動力之一與免費遊戲有關。

  • Free to play is really a wonderful business model, and it's a business model that doesn't serve us well, a proprietary and a closed platform model where royalties are -- where it's royalty bearing.

    免費遊戲確實是一個很棒的商業模式,它是一個不能很好地為我們服務的商業模式,一個專有的和封閉的平台模式,版稅是 - 它是版稅承擔的地方。

  • And so, these free to play platforms are fabulous for PCs and it attracts new gamers.

    因此,這些免費遊戲平台非常適合 PC,它吸引了新的遊戲玩家。

  • It costs nothing to try it, and unless you really enjoy the game, that is when you really get in and buy up virtual goods, where you can differentiate your outfit, your costume, differentiate your weapons, play new levels.

    嘗試它是免費的,除非你真的喜歡這個遊戲,那就是當你真正進入併購買虛擬商品時,你可以區分你的裝備,你的服裝,區分你的武器,玩新的關卡。

  • And so, it's -- the more you enjoy the game, the more you are welcome to spend in the game.

    因此,您越喜歡游戲,就越歡迎您在遊戲中消費。

  • And I think that that kind of a business model really tailors nicely to PCs.

    我認為這種商業模式真的很適合個人電腦。

  • It's also much more associated with MMOs, massively multi-player online games.

    它也更多地與 MMO、大型多人在線遊戲相關聯。

  • And so, these dynamics continue to help drive our PC graphics business -- the gaming graphics business.

    因此,這些動態繼續幫助推動我們的 PC 圖形業務——遊戲圖形業務。

  • For the year, I think that these dynamics will remain true -- that the MMO and the free to play business models are going to continue to drive and help grow the PC graphics business.

    就這一年而言,我認為這些動態將保持不變——MMO 和免費遊戲商業模式將繼續推動和幫助發展 PC 圖形業務。

  • Gentlemen, when we look at the business model and the OpEx growth -- last year you grew OpEx at a rate above the revenue growth, but you were able to offset it with gross margin leverage.

    先生們,當我們審視商業模式和運營支出增長時——去年你的運營支出增長速度高於收入增長,但你能夠用毛利率槓桿抵消它。

  • Looking forward, if I run the numbers, it looks like we are going to see about 15% OpEx growth year on year, even if you hold Q1's level pretty stable for the balance of the year.

    展望未來,如果我計算這些數字,看起來我們將看到大約 15% 的 OpEx 同比增長,即使您在今年餘下時間保持第一季度的水平相當穩定。

  • How should we think about that going forward?

    我們應該如何看待未來的發展?

  • Are you going to -- should we think about revenue leverage here?

    你打算 - 我們應該在這裡考慮收入槓桿嗎?

  • Or is there a gross margin leverage potential to hold on to the earnings column?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Yes, Doug, I appreciate the question.

    是的,道格,我很欣賞這個問題。

  • I think first of all, we have to recognize that we are investing into a once in a lifetime and very large market opportunity.

    我認為首先,我們必須認識到我們正在投資於千載難逢的巨大市場機會。

  • We weren't the first modem company in the world, but we need a modem, 4G LTE modem, to address the very large LTE connected devices market.

    我們不是世界上第一家調製解調器公司,但我們需要一個調製解調器,即 4G LTE 調製解調器,以應對龐大的 LTE 連接設備市場。

  • And if we are able to deliver that, we are in a pretty special place.

    如果我們能夠做到這一點,我們就處於一個非常特別的地方。

  • And the reason for that is because we have a great application processor, we have a great application processor road map, because we had the technology and capability to sustain it.

    其原因是因為我們擁有出色的應用處理器,我們擁有出色的應用處理器路線圖,因為我們擁有維持它的技術和能力。

  • One of the most important areas -- one of the most important capabilities in the mobile market is the ability to have software.

    最重要的領域之一——移動市場中最重要的能力之一是擁有軟件的能力。

  • There are so many different operating systems, and Microsoft does a great deal in the PC industry that is not afforded to in the rest of the embedded markets.

    有這麼多不同的操作系統,微軟在 PC 行業做了很多其他嵌入式市場無法做到的事情。

  • And this is a market where in the connected device marketplace, where there is Android and Chrome and Win RT and Linux and QNX -- and all these different operating systems require a world-class system software team.

    這是一個互聯設備市場,有安卓、Chrome、Win RT、Linux和QNX——所有這些不同的操作系統都需要世界級的系統軟件團隊。

  • And so, if we have those two things and we combine it with LTE which we are now sampling, the combination of these three things could put us in a very special place.

    因此,如果我們擁有這兩件事,並將其與我們現在正在採樣的 LTE 結合起來,這三件事的結合可以讓我們處於一個非常特殊的位置。

  • And so, we want to go after that large and fast-growing LTE marketplace and the investment is necessary.

    因此,我們想要追求龐大且快速增長的 LTE 市場,投資是必要的。

  • So, the answer to your question is revenue leverage.

    因此,您的問題的答案是收入槓桿。

  • We are looking forward to revenue leverage.

    我們期待收入槓桿。

  • Now, our GPU business, of course, is still growing as well.

    現在,我們的 GPU 業務當然也在增長。

  • And there is opportunities to grow there.

    那裡有發展的機會。

  • The last year we grew 8%, if you excluded the chipset business that we exited; and this year, we added a new type of GPU product.

    如果排除我們退出的芯片組業務,去年我們增長了 8%;而今年,我們又增加了一種新型的 GPU 產品。

  • We incorporated our GPUs into a first-of-its-kind graphics appliance.

    我們將我們的 GPU 整合到了首創的圖形設備中。

  • It's a graphics computing system, it's dedicated to doing graphics, and we have described a few applications for the NVIDIA GRID.

    它是一個圖形計算系統,專用於做圖形,我們已經描述了一些適用於 NVIDIA GRID 的應用程序。

  • And I think that this type of a computing appliance, this graphics appliance, is for GPU, it's very similar to a router as for networking chips, or a network-attached storage is for [stata] chips.

    我認為這種類型的計算設備,這種圖形設備,是用於 GPU 的,它非常類似於用於網絡芯片的路由器,或者網絡附加存儲用於 [stata] 芯片。

  • At some point when you want to share these resources with a larger work group or with a lot of different people, these graphics appliances, these computing appliances are really a perfect fit.

    在某些時候,當您想與更大的工作組或許多不同的人共享這些資源時,這些圖形設備、這些計算設備確實是完美的選擇。

  • And we see a lot of people wanting to go to SAS, but they can't do it with graphics-intensive applications.

    而且我們看到很多人想要使用 SAS,但他們無法使用圖形密集型應用程序。

  • And now with the NVIDIA GRID, they can finally do that.

    現在有了 NVIDIA GRID,他們終於可以做到了。

  • And so, I am excited about the GPU growth opportunities still, but one of the areas where we are investing very heavily -- and that is the reason why you saw the investments from the last couple years, is to really -- to put us in a place where we can engage the LTE market.

    因此,我仍然對 GPU 的增長機會感到興奮,但我們正在大力投資的領域之一——這就是你看到過去幾年投資的原因,真的——讓我們在一個我們可以參與 LTE 市場的地方。

  • And this year, we will aggressively do that.

    今年,我們將積極地做到這一點。

  • I guess as my follow-up, I have a good understanding of where the growth is going to come from on the Tegra Processor; clearly, it sounds like with the LTE modem you want to grow on the handset side of the market to take advantage of that.

    我想作為我的後續行動,我對 Tegra 處理器的增長將來自何處有一個很好的了解;顯然,這聽起來像是您希望在手機市場上發展的 LTE 調製解調器以利用這一點。

  • When you look at all the other investments that you are making as you just ran through a pretty healthy list there of new products that you have introduced recently, what is number two and three on the list, as far as revenue contribution?

    當您查看您正在進行的所有其他投資時,您剛剛瀏覽了您最近推出的新產品的一個相當健康的列表,就收入貢獻而言,列表中的第二和第三位是什麼?

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, I really listed two just now.

    嗯,我剛才真的列出了兩個。

  • I listed LTE, and that is -- LTE, when I say LTE, I mean Tegra LTE.

    我列出了 LTE,即 LTE,當我說 LTE 時,我指的是 Tegra LTE。

  • You have to invest in Tegra and you have to invest in LTE in order to engage that LTE connected device market.

    你必須投資 Tegra,你必須投資 LTE,才能進入 LTE 連接設備市場。

  • There is no standalone modem business anymore, and many of these new 4G connected device marketplace and integrated approach is necessary.

    不再有獨立的調製解調器業務,許多新的 4G 連接設備市場和集成方法是必要的。

  • And that is the reason why we bought Icera, and that is the reason we are investing in LTE.

    這就是我們購買 Icera 的原因,也是我們投資 LTE 的原因。

  • So, that is really one investment.

    所以,這確實是一項投資。

  • You have to do it altogether or you don't do it at all.

    你必須完全這樣做,否則你根本不這樣做。

  • And so, that is one of the reasons why all of the standalone modem companies really have gotten out, and that is the reason why most of the standalone application processor companies have gotten out.

    因此,這就是所有獨立調製解調器公司真正退出的原因之一,也是大多數獨立應用處理器公司退出的原因。

  • Because unless you have the combination of these three things -- the Tegra, something like a Tegra application processor, a 4G modem, and a software stack, you really can't play the big games.

    因為除非你擁有這三樣東西的組合——Tegra、Tegra 應用處理器、4G 調製解調器和軟件堆棧,否則你真的無法玩大型遊戲。

  • And I think we are rather uniquely positioned to be a great challenger here.

    而且我認為我們在這方面處於非常獨特的地位,可以成為一個偉大的挑戰者。

  • And then, number two is GRID.

    然後,第二個是 GRID。

  • That particular investment is really about taking our GPU and taking it out of the box.

    這項特別的投資實際上是為了讓我們的 GPU 開箱即用。

  • If you take the GPU out of the box, then you can grow independent of the box.

    如果您將 GPU 開箱即用,那麼您就可以獨立成長。

  • And the GRID is going to make it possible for us to put our GPUs, if you will, on a network -- and whether it's a Mac network or a PC network or an Android network or whatever devices you have networked onto it.

    如果您願意,GRID 將使我們能夠將我們的 GPU 置於網絡上——無論是 Mac 網絡、PC 網絡、Android 網絡,還是任何您已聯網的設備。

  • So, those were two investments that I have described, and both have exciting growth opportunities ahead.

    因此,這就是我所描述的兩項投資,並且都具有令人興奮的增長機會。

    我想知道您是否可以提供一些顏色來說明您是否將平板電腦或智能手機視為更大的驅動力,以及 Windows 與 Android。

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Okay, I am going to take a swing at that.

    好的,我要嘗試一下。

  • I think you asked what is likely to be a larger growth driver for us, is it tablets or phones?

    我想你問過什麼可能是我們更大的增長動力,是平板電腦還是手機?

  • And number two, is it Android or Win RT?

    第二,是 Android 還是 Win RT?

  • That is a good question and let me see if I can try to dissect that.

    這是一個很好的問題,讓我看看我是否可以嘗試剖析它。

  • First of all, on a yearly basis, although the quarters have been a little choppy, on an annual basis most of our growth -- not all of our growth, but the vast majority of our growth has come from tablets.

    首先,按年計算,雖然每個季度都有點波動,但按年計算,我們的大部分增長——不是我們的全部增長,但我們的絕大多數增長來自平板電腦。

  • Whereas people were rather skeptical about Android tablets, we really stuck with it.

    儘管人們對 Android 平板電腦持懷疑態度,但我們確實堅持了下來。

  • And we stuck with it because we believed, not in whether a tablet -- an Android tablet is going to be useful or not or successful or not, we believed in the Google cloud.

    我們堅持它是因為我們相信,而不是平板電腦——Android平板電腦是否有用或成功與否,我們相信谷歌云。

  • We believed that people will buy books and music and games and movies and store their photographs up in the cloud.

    我們相信人們會購買書籍、音樂、遊戲和電影,並將他們的照片存儲在雲端。

  • And when you put all your personal content in the cloud, you want to enjoy it on your phone, you want to enjoy it when your are home in a larger format, in which case an Android tablet.

    當您將所有個人內容放在雲中時,您想在手機上欣賞它,您想在家時以更大的格式欣賞它,在這種情況下是 Android 平板電腦。

  • We also believe that you would want to enjoy it -- playing the games with a device that is design dedicated to play games, and that is the reason why we built SHIELD.

    我們也相信您會想要享受它——使用專門為玩遊戲而設計的設備玩遊戲,這就是我們建造 SHIELD 的原因。

  • And so, I think the tablet market has turned out to exceed most people's expectations.

    因此,我認為平板電腦市場的表現超出了大多數人的預期。

  • And we grew a lot in Android tablets this last year, and my expectation is that there will be more Android tablets built this next year.

    去年我們在 Android 平板電腦上增長了很多,我預計明年會有更多的 Android 平板電腦。

  • And so, the first thing is -- yes, I believe in tablets.

    所以,第一件事是——是的,我相信平板電腦。

  • I believe in tablets wholeheartedly.

    我全心全意地相信平板電腦。

  • And it's an area, it's a segment of the marketplace that we are going to continue to invest in and be quite successful in.

    這是一個領域,是我們將繼續投資並取得成功的市場的一部分。

  • Win RT -- I believe it is essential, strategically essential for Microsoft to be on all of the major processors in the world, surely the highest volume processor in the world, as a software company, and an operating system company.

    Win RT——我認為微軟作為一家軟件公司和一家操作系統公司,在世界上所有主要處理器上,肯定是世界上產量最高的處理器上,這是必不可少的,具有戰略意義。

  • It's a market they can't afford to ignore.

    這是一個他們不能忽視的市場。

  • And so, Win RT is surely going to be an important area for them.

    因此,Win RT 肯定會成為他們的一個重要領域。

  • Now, whether people see Win RT as a consumer tablet or as a PC is yet to be determined.

    現在,人們將 Win RT 視為消費平板電腦還是 PC 尚待確定。

  • But at the very minimum, if you extrapolate it forward by a few years, it's hard to imagine how Win RT can't possibly, won't possibly be a wonderful PC.

    但至少,如果你往前推幾年,很難想像 Win RT 不可能,不可能成為一台出色的 PC。

  • We know exactly what it feels like on top of a Tegra 4, and it rocks.

    我們確切地知道在 Tegra 4 上的感覺,並且它會搖擺不定。

  • It's fantastic.

    這是夢幻般的。

  • And so, Win RT I think will be successful as well.

    因此,我認為 Win RT 也會成功。

  • Microsoft will have no choice but to continue to invest in it, and it's a great company.

    微軟別無選擇,只能繼續投資,這是一家偉大的公司。

  • They will do something great with it.

    他們會用它做一些很棒的事情。

  • With respect to -- so, that is Android and Win RT.

    關於--所以,那就是Android 和Win RT。

  • I already commented on tablets.

    我已經評論過平板電腦。

  • Smartphones, super phones -- this is an area that we will likely need to have an LTE modem in order to be successful.

    智能手機、超級手機——這是我們可能需要擁有 LTE 調製解調器才能成功的領域。

  • And that is the reason why we have worked so hard to accelerate our LTE modem to market.

    這就是為什麼我們如此努力地加速將我們的 LTE 調製解調器推向市場的原因。

  • We are working around the clock, and this is -- with an LTE modem, the Tegra Processor and our software capability, we will be able to address a much larger phone opportunity going forward.

    我們夜以繼日地工作,這就是——借助 LTE 調製解調器、Tegra 處理器和我們的軟件功能,我們將能夠應對未來更大的電話機會。

  • And so, we will have some phone success this year, but we are not expecting to have a whole lot of phone design wins until we have -- until we engage the market with LTE.

    因此,今年我們將在手機上取得一些成功,但我們預計不會在手機設計上取得很多勝利,直到我們擁有 - 直到我們通過 LTE 進入市場。

  • Okay?

    好的?

    我想知道您是否可以給我們更多關於 GRID 開發的時間表,以及我們何時可以看到該產品的可觀收入。

  • What are some of the obstacles in front of you still?

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Thanks a lot, Kevin.

    非常感謝,凱文。

  • I think the GRID comes in three flavors.

    我認為 GRID 有三種口味。

  • GRID the architecture comes in three flavors -- one, and the one that we developed first, is GRID for enterprise [VDI].

    GRID 架構分為三種風格——一種,我們首先開發的一種,是企業級 GRID [VDI]。

  • We have been working with Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft for quite a long time.

    我們已經與 Citrix、VMware 和 Microsoft 合作了很長時間。

  • And in that particular application, by installing our graphics cards, the GRID VGX graphics cards into a industry standard OEM server, you could deploy it in enterprises and accelerate the VDI installations that you have.

    在該特定應用中,通過將我們的顯卡、GRID VGX 顯卡安裝到行業標準的 OEM 服務器中,您可以在企業中部署它並加速您擁有的 VDI 安裝。

  • And so, if you had a Citrix desktop, it would just be much snappier.

    因此,如果您有一個 Citrix 桌面,它會更加快捷。

  • We could also address markets where the current VDI solutions aren't sufficiently good enough, because the graphics performance isn't good enough, it doesn't accelerate, it doesn't run certain applications like workstations.

    我們還可以解決當前 VDI 解決方案不夠好的市場,因為圖形性能不夠好,不能加速,不能運行工作站等某些應用程序。

  • And so, we could expand the market for VDI.

    因此,我們可以擴大 VDI 的市場。

  • Our three partnerships are going fabulously.

    我們的三個夥伴關係進展順利。

  • Everybody is very excited about that, and that is likely the first area of growth this year for GRID.

    每個人都對此感到非常興奮,這可能是 GRID 今年的第一個增長領域。

  • The second component of growth has to do with cloud gaming.

    增長的第二個組成部分與雲遊戲有關。

  • We have about six partners, and we are evaluating new ones who are [middleware] partners who service telcos and MSOs around the world to provide cloud gaming to these telcos and MSOs.

    我們有大約六個合作夥伴,我們正在評估新的 [中間件] 合作夥伴,他們為世界各地的電信公司和 MSO 提供服務,為這些電信公司和 MSO 提供雲遊戲。

  • You know, they would like to provide gaming as one of the channels of cable television.

    你知道,他們想提供遊戲作為有線電視頻道之一。

  • And so, it's another way for them to monetize a subscriber base they already have, it's another way for telcos to provide content that could be enjoyed over the LTE networks.

    因此,這是他們通過現有用戶群獲利的另一種方式,這是電信公司提供可通過 LTE 網絡享受的內容的另一種方式。

  • And so, you could imagine that this is -- creating new content, adding content inventory to their subscriber base, is something that of course every telco and every MSO would more than love to do.

    因此,您可以想像這是——創建新內容,向他們的訂閱者群添加內容庫存,這當然是每個電信公司和每個 MSO 都非常願意做的事情。

  • And so, we have six partners, partner with us around the world.

    因此,我們有六個合作夥伴,在世界各地與我們合作。

  • The trials are going on at 12 with the telcos -- at 12 telcos around the world, and there are more coming online as we speak.

    試驗將在 12 家電信公司進行——在全球 12 家電信公司進行,而且在我們發言時還有更多的電信公司上線。

  • And so, that evaluation will take longer, because the quality of service has to be proven and these large networks have to be tested.

    因此,評估將需要更長的時間,因為必須證明服務質量並且必須測試這些大型網絡。

  • And so, that is the second that we have started.

    所以,這是我們開始的第二個。

  • I am not expecting large revenue contribution this year, but it's really, really important that we do proof of concepts and trials at every telco this year.

    我預計今年不會有很大的收入貢獻,但今年我們在每家電信公司進行概念驗證和試驗是非常非常重要的。

  • And so, that is our primary focus.

    因此,這是我們的主要關注點。

  • And the third has to do with SAS.

    第三個與SAS有關。

  • There is, as you know, most of the software companies would like to move to a SAS model.

    如您所知,大多數軟件公司都希望轉向 SAS 模型。

  • It is -- from whether it's monetization or just being able to access new customers more quickly, not having to install a heavyweight application in somebody's network is one of the fastest ways to capture new subscribers or new customers, new licensees.

    它是——無論是貨幣化還是僅僅能夠更快地訪問新客戶,不必在某人的網絡中安裝重量級應用程序是獲取新訂戶或新客戶、新被許可人的最快方式之一。

  • And so, being able to just literally put a heavy weight application like an Adobe or an Autodesk or a SolidWorks application, a workstation application, as a little icon that you double click and boom, you are in that application because that application is being served on a network -- it's a real benefit to them.

    因此,能夠將 Adobe、Autodesk 或 SolidWorks 應用程序、工作站應用程序等重量級應用程序作為一個小圖標,雙擊並啟動,您就在該應用程序中,因為該應用程序正在被服務在網絡上——這對他們來說是一個真正的好處。

  • And so, this is a new market as well for us.

    因此,這對我們來說也是一個新市場。

  • Obviously, GRID is a first-of-its-kind device.

    顯然,GRID 是首創的設備。

  • It's a graphics -- it's a GPU, it's a massive collection of GPUs in a computing device.

    它是一個圖形——它是一個 GPU,它是計算設備中的大量 GPU 集合。

  • And so, we are very good at GPUs, of course, and all the software is in-house.

    因此,當然,我們非常擅長 GPU,而且所有軟件都是內部的。

  • But we are cultivating that marketplace now and we will see how it goes.

    但我們現在正在培育這個市場,我們將看看它會如何發展。

  • And so, I wish I had crisp answers on these -- on GRID, but this is a first-of-its-kind device.

    所以,我希望我對這些有明確的答案——在 GRID 上,但這是首創的設備。

  • And we have enthusiastic partners, because it provides a benefit to [all] in the ecosystem.

    我們有熱情的合作夥伴,因為它為生態系統中的[所有人]提供了好處。

  • And as soon as we can, we will report on the actual business component of it.

    我們將盡快報告它的實際業務組成部分。

  • Kevin Cassidy - Analyst

    Kevin Cassidy - Analyst

  • Okay, great.

    好,太棒了。

  • Thanks for those details.

    感謝您提供這些詳細信息。

  • How about -- have you seen any competition or any other alternative solutions for this type of application?

    怎麼樣 - 您是否看到過此類應用程序的任何競爭或任何其他替代解決方案?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, GRID is the first of its kind, and my expectation is that it will be the only one of its kind for awhile.

    好吧,GRID 是同類中的第一個,我的期望是它會在一段時間內成為同類中的唯一一個。

  • And the reason for that is because in order to create GRID, we had to create a new architecture for a GPU, create a new system architecture, create new system software architecture to virtualize, to share, to connect, to remotely render onto devices of all kinds.

    原因是為了創建 GRID,我們必須為 GPU 創建一個新架構,創建一個新的系統架構,創建新的系統軟件架構來虛擬化、共享、連接、遠程渲染到設備上所有種類。

  • And so, this is -- we own the entire stack, and so it's easy for us to do it.

    所以,這是 - 我們擁有整個堆棧,所以我們很容易做到這一點。

  • I don't really know how other people, somebody else would independently cut across that many layers of the architecture and system and system software to achieve it.

    我真的不知道其他人,其他人如何獨立地跨越架構和系統以及系統軟件的多層來實現它。

  • But at the moment, everything I know and what I see in the horizon, GRID is really the only one in the market.

    但目前,我所知道的一切以及我所看到的一切,GRID 確實是市場上唯一的一個。

  • I was wondering if you could help me understand the gross margins, and you did a very good job keeping them stable in a down revenue environment.

    我想知道您是否可以幫助我了解毛利率,並且您在收入下降的環境中保持穩定的工作做得非常好。

  • But it seems like you had a pretty healthy mix up in high-margin areas like workstations, and even going into Q1 where you are expecting flattish gross margins -- again, it sounds like workstations will be kind of flattish, where you will see declines elsewhere.

    但看起來你在工作站等高利潤領域的組合相當健康,甚至進入第一季度,你預計毛利率會持平——再一次,聽起來工作站會有點持平,你會看到下降別處。

  • Are you seeing gross margin declines elsewhere or maybe price declines?

    您是否看到其他地方的毛利率下降或價格下降?

  • Just help me understand that, thank you.

    請幫助我理解這一點,謝謝。

  • Karen Burns - Interim CFO

    Karen Burns - Interim CFO

  • For this quarter or next?

  • For both Q4, as well as your guidance for Q1.

    對於第四季度以及您對第一季度的指導。

  • Karen Burns - Interim CFO

    Karen Burns - Interim CFO

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • So, the mix is quite -- as I explained in the commentary, it's really stable.

    所以,混合是相當的——正如我在評論中解釋的那樣,它真的很穩定。

  • Yes, Quadro was up, but there is always some offsets.

    是的,Quadro 上升了,但總有一些偏移。

  • Quadro was up in Q4, but probably one of the larger areas of memory, when memory moves around, that can basically drag our margins a bit.

    Quadro 在第四季度有所上升,但可能是更大的內存區域之一,當內存移動時,這基本上會拖累我們的利潤。

  • So -- but overall, the blend is pretty stable and that is just how it is; and next quarter we are expecting about the same.

    所以——但總的來說,這種混合非常穩定,就是這樣;下個季度我們的預期大致相同。

  • Shawn Webster - Analyst

    Shawn Webster - Analyst

  • Okay.

    好的。

  • As it relates to the desktop segment, you had pretty good share gains this year.

    由於它與桌面細分市場有關,今年你的份額增長相當可觀。

  • Can you talk about what some of the dynamics are in the channel currently, as far as how inventories are looking and maybe what your expectations are in terms of market share for the full year?

    您能否談談目前渠道中的一些動態,就庫存情況而言,以及您對全年市場份額的預期是什麼?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, inventory levels tend to be slightly up when the revenues are down, as you could imagine.

    好吧,正如您可以想像的那樣,當收入下降時,庫存水平往往會略有上升。

  • And so, we are expecting next quarter, or this coming quarter, to be seasonal as well as consistent with the overall PC market.

    因此,我們預計下一季度或下一季度將是季節性的,並且與整個 PC 市場保持一致。

  • And so, inventory will likely be slightly -- will be up a tad.

    因此,庫存可能會略有增加 - 會增加一點。

  • But we watch it very, very closely.

    但我們非常非常密切地觀察它。

  • The channel is very important to us and all of our partners, and the flow of goods is important to us.

    渠道對我們和我們所有的合作夥伴都非常重要,貨流對我們也很重要。

  • And in order to control and manage your gross margins, it's vital not to have too much inventory, as you know.

    如您所知,為了控制和管理您的毛利率,至關重要的是不要有太多庫存。

  • And so, we watch that like a hawk, and that is one of the reasons why our gross margins are stable and well-managed and improving.

    因此,我們像鷹派一樣看待這一點,這就是我們的毛利率穩定、管理良好且不斷提高的原因之一。

  • As far as the year goes, our position in graphics is as good as it's ever been, and my expectation is that our position in graphics will improve this year.

    就這一年而言,我們在圖形領域的地位與以往一樣好,我預計我們在圖形領域的地位今年會有所改善。

  • SHIELD will help GeForce.

    SHIELD 將幫助 GeForce。

  • The ability to stream your -- remotely, your PC game and to be able to enjoy it on your SHIELD is quite a magical new experience.

    遠程流式傳輸您的 PC 遊戲並能夠在 SHIELD 上享受它的能力是一種非常神奇的新體驗。

  • And the enthusiasm from our GeForce customers around the world is really quite spectacular.

    來自世界各地的 GeForce 客戶的熱情確實非常驚人。

  • We have had more press written about SHIELD than just about anything in the history of our Company.

    關於 SHIELD 的新聞報導比我們公司歷史上的任何事情都多。

  • And so, I think the enthusiasm is quite high, and SHIELD is intended to be -- one of its intentions is to be a companion device for GeForce.

    因此,我認為人們的熱情很高,而 SHIELD 的目的是——它的目的之一是成為 GeForce 的配套設備。

  • And so, that is going to enhance our GeForce position.

    因此,這將提升我們 GeForce 的地位。

  • And so, throughout the year, now my expectation is our position will continue to improve.

    因此,在這一年中,我現在的期望是我們的地位將繼續提高。

  • But with respect to market share, we re just going to have to report that when we get there.

    但就市場份額而言,當我們到達那裡時,我們將不得不報告這一點。

  • We are ramping production now, and we have full production release.

    我們現在正在增加生產,並且我們有完整的生產版本。

  • And so, we are ramping production -- Q2 is when we ship to customers.

    因此,我們正在提高產量——第二季度是我們向客戶發貨的時候。

  • Q2 is also when we ship the Tegra 4-based SHIELD device, and so we also start shipping in Q2.

    Q2 也是我們發布基於 Tegra 4 的 SHIELD 設備的時間,因此我們也在 Q2 開始發貨。

  • Although it's in the latter part of Q2, it's going to be in Q2.

    雖然是在第二季度的後期,但它會在第二季度。

    只是跟進,如果我們看看你全年的研發支出,當你談到我們進入年底時適度增加時,你能談談任何新舉措,無論是針對 GRID 還是 SHIELD 或(聽不見)?

  • Hey, Jim, this is Rob.

    嘿,吉姆,這是羅伯。

  • Did you ask are there any new initiatives on OpEx other than GRID?

    您是否問過除 GRID 之外的 OpEx 是否有任何新舉措?

  • Is that what you asked?

    那是你問的嗎?

  • Jim Schneider - Analyst

  • Yes, that would cause further increases for the year, yes.

    是的,這將導致今年的進一步增長,是的。

  • There are three things that are new businesses, if you will -- not new businesses, but additions to our businesses this year.

    如果你願意的話,有三件事是新業務——不是新業務,而是今年我們業務的新增內容。

  • The first addition is LTE modems.

    第一個添加是 LTE 調製解調器。

  • LTE modems by itself is not a new business, but LTE modem will allow Tegra to enter into new markets where LTE is necessary.

    LTE 調製解調器本身並不是一項新業務,但 LTE 調製解調器將使 Tegra 能夠進入需要 LTE 的新市場。

  • We already have many LTE design wins on i500, and our expectation is this is going to be quite a good trend for us.

    我們已經在 i500 上贏得了許多 LTE 設計,我們預計這對我們來說將是一個非常好的趨勢。

  • So, that is one additive -- additional part of our business.

    所以,這是一種添加劑——我們業務的附加部分。

  • The second additional part of our business is using our own Tegra Processor and utilizing our own proprietary technologies in software and such to build a Android device -- we call that SHIELD.

    我們業務的第二個附加部分是使用我們自己的 Tegra 處理器並在軟件等方面利用我們自己的專有技術來構建 Android 設備——我們稱之為 SHIELD。

  • The third additional to our business -- addition to our business is GRID, which is a GPU.

    我們業務的第三個附加項——除了我們的業務之外,還有 GRID,它是一個 GPU。

  • It's a network-attached GPU.

    它是一個網絡連接的 GPU。

  • It's not a new business.

    這不是一項新業務。

  • It's a GPU business.

    這是一項 GPU 業務。

  • It's packed with GPUs, and it serves our existing marketplace, partnered with our existing partners, it's sold into the same ecosystems.

    它包含 GPU,它服務於我們現有的市場,與我們現有的合作夥伴合作,它被出售到相同的生態系統中。

  • And so, we have three things this year -- LTE, Tegra LTE, number one; number two, SHIELD; and number three is our GRID graphics appliance.

    所以,今年我們有三件事——LTE,Tegra LTE,第一;第二,盾牌;第三是我們的 GRID 圖形設備。

  • Jim, I hope we answered your question.

    吉姆,我希望我們回答了你的問題。

  • We will follow up with you and make sure we got that.

    我們將跟進您並確保我們得到了。

  • I think we have time for one more.

    我想我們還有時間再來一次。

  • So, just two questions.

    所以,只有兩個問題。

  • First off, I was hoping you could talk a little bit more about your design traction on your modem business here.

    首先,我希望您能在這裡多談談您對調製解調器業務的設計吸引力。

  • You talked about i500, the Icera acquisition is definitely a key part of that.

    您談到了 i500,收購 Icera 絕對是其中的關鍵部分。

  • Just curious if you could help us understand the shape of the growth this year and perhaps the sizing.

    只是好奇您能否幫助我們了解今年的增長形式以及規模。

  • Is it something that grows to $100 million this year, or is it something that is a lot bigger than that?

    今年是增長到 1 億美元,還是比這大得多?

  • $150 million for the year, it's a big [TAM].

    一年 1.5 億美元,這是一個很大的 [TAM]。

  • So, just wanted to think about that the right way.

    所以,只是想以正確的方式思考。

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, the first thing is, it's important to note that the previous generation of our LTE modem, the i410, is the first and currently still the only Win RT LTE modem certified by AT&T.

    首先,值得注意的是,我們的上一代 LTE 調製解調器 i410 是第一款也是目前唯一一款獲得 AT&T 認證的 Win RT LTE 調製解調器。

  • It is currently shipping in the ASUS Vivo tablet; and if you get a chance to try it, it's really wonderful.

    它目前在華碩 Vivo 平板電腦中發貨;如果你有機會嘗試一下,那真的很棒。

  • It stands to reason that there are many other Win RT Tegra 4 tablets in development, and we would transition them to the i500 modem.

    理所當然地,還有許多其他 Win RT Tegra 4 平板電腦正在開發中,我們會將它們過渡到 i500 調製解調器。

  • We don't sell the modem separately.

    我們不單獨出售調製解調器。

  • It's sold as a kit.

    它作為套件出售。

  • It's sold with Tegra 4, and so it's hard to break it out per se.

    它與 Tegra 4 一起出售,因此它本身很難破解。

  • But more and more of our business will include LTE, because we had no LTE penetration in the past, and this year we are going to be shipping LTE modem.

    但我們越來越多的業務將包括 LTE,因為過去我們沒有 LTE 滲透,今年我們將推出 LTE 調製解調器。

  • And so, I don't know exactly how much, we are trying to make it as much as possible.

    所以,我不知道到底有多少,我們正在努力盡可能地做到這一點。

  • But at this point, we are not guiding the whole year.

    但在這一點上,我們並沒有指導全年。

  • Patrick Wang - Analyst

    Patrick Wang - Analyst

  • Got you.

    得到你。

  • And then, just for my follow-up, I was curious -- when we take a look at the full year, you have a lot of great stuff happening with Tegra outside of handsets.

    然後,就我的後續行動而言,我很好奇——當我們回顧全年時,Tegra 在手機之外發生了很多很棒的事情。

  • You have tablet traction, you have SHIELD, you have automotive that did well last quarter.

    你有平板電腦的牽引力,你有 SHIELD,你有上個季度表現良好的汽車。

  • When we look at it full year here, you guys did a great job hitting 50% growth last year.

    當我們在這裡查看全年時,你們做得很好,去年實現了 50% 的增長。

  • Could you care to give us some help in terms of -- ballpark, how much growth we should be thinking about this year in fiscal '14, given the transition and the fact that we are starting off a little bit light as we enter the April quarter?

    考慮到過渡以及進入 4 月時我們開始有點輕鬆的事實,您能否在大體上給我們一些幫助,我們應該在 14 財年考慮今年的增長多少四分之一?

  • Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

    Jen-Hsun Huang - President & CEO

  • Well, the way we enter the April quarter is, I guess, similar during every transition.

    好吧,我想,我們進入四月季度的方式在每次過渡期間都是相似的。

  • And I am hoping that over time, as we -- as our, although we have had this transition now for all three generations, each one of the transitions, the peaks have become much higher and the revenues of the whole business has become much larger.

    我希望隨著時間的推移,作為我們——作為我們的,雖然我們現在已經經歷了三代人的這種轉變,但每一次轉變,高峰都變得更高,整個企業的收入也變得更大.

  • And so, our position in the marketplace is growing.

    因此,我們在市場中的地位正在增長。

  • Our footprint is growing, and our position is more strategic to the marketplace than ever.

    我們的足跡不斷擴大,我們的地位比以往任何時候都更具市場戰略意義。

  • But we haven't decided to guide the whole year.

    但我們還沒有決定指導全年。

  • We are going to go through this transition one more time, and we will start shipping in Q2.

    我們將再經歷一次這一過渡,我們將在第二季度開始發貨。

  • But we haven't decided to guide for the full year.

    但我們還沒有決定全年指導。

  • What you recognize are the same things we observe as well; whereas before, we really only had Android tablets, now we have a much larger Android tablet market.

    你所認識到的與我們所觀察到的相同;而以前,我們真的只有安卓平板電腦,現在我們有一個更大的安卓平板電腦市場。

  • We have Win RT PCs, we have SHIELD, and we have automotive.

    我們有 Win RT PC,我們有 SHIELD,我們有汽車。

  • And so, Tegra is not just a smartphone.

    因此,Tegra 不僅僅是一款智能手機。

  • And of course, we have Tegra LTE, which would be great for connected tablets as well as smartphones.

    當然,我們有 Tegra LTE,它非常適合連接的平板電腦和智能手機。

  • And so, we have more than just Android application processors now.

    因此,我們現在擁有的不僅僅是 Android 應用處理器。

  • We have much more than that.

    我們擁有的遠不止這些。

  • But it's hard to say exactly how much for the year, and we are just going to go do as best we can.

    但很難確切地說出這一年有多少,我們只會盡力而為。
