Jen-Hsun, licensed revenue was $66 million in the quarter.
Jen-Hsun,本季度的許可收入為 6600 萬美元。
It is still a meaningful portion of operating profit.
它仍然是營業利潤的重要部分。
I know the agreement with Intel is set to expire in 2017 but I was wondering if that is still the right way to look at it?
我知道與英特爾的協議將於 2017 年到期,但我想知道這是否仍然是正確的看待它的方式?
Should we assume that the revenue stream goes away in 2017, or is there potential for Intel to re-up that agreement?
我們應該假設收入流在 2017 年消失,還是英特爾有可能重新達成該協議?

You know that technology licensing is an important part of our company's strategy.
您知道技術許可是我們公司戰略的重要組成部分。
We licensed our technology to Sony for the PlayStation.
我們將我們的技術授權給索尼用於 PlayStation。
We licensed our technology to Intel for their integrated graphics products.
我們將我們的技術授權給英特爾,用於他們的集成顯卡產品。
In the time that we have done these agreements, we have increased our activities around technology licensing.
在我們簽訂這些協議時,我們增加了圍繞技術許可的活動。
In July, as you probably remembered, we announced that we would license our GPU core which is at the heart of the Logan -- Project Logan which is a next-generation Tegra processor and its architecture is based on the worlds best GPU called Kepler.
您可能還記得,在 7 月,我們宣布將授權我們的 GPU 內核,它是 Logan 的核心——Project Logan,它是下一代 Tegra 處理器,其架構基於世界上最好的 GPU,稱為 Kepler。
Our intentions are to continue to invest in technology licensing, and make this an important part of our business going forward.
我們的意圖是繼續投資於技術許可,並將其作為我們未來業務的重要組成部分。
So whether it is Intel, or others, this is an opportunity that is very important to us.
所以無論是英特爾,還是其他,這對我們來說都是一個非常重要的機會。
As one of the most important innovators around the GPU, and as you know, the GPU is more important than ever.
作為 GPU 領域最重要的創新者之一,正如您所知,GPU 比以往任何時候都更加重要。
The GPU, when we started the industry, was available only on PCs and workstations and now it is available on mobile devices and tablets and cars and cloud and servers.
當我們開始這個行業時,GPU 只能在個人電腦和工作站上使用,現在它可以在移動設備、平板電腦、汽車、雲和服務器上使用。
So this is an area that we are going to continue to invest in and this is an area that we're going to try to monetize in a lot of different ways.
因此,這是我們將繼續投資的領域,也是我們將嘗試以多種不同方式獲利的領域。
Because business models change and business models are different in all these different segments.
因為商業模式在變化,商業模式在所有這些不同的領域都不同。
Sometimes it makes sense for us to sell chips, sometimes it makes sense for us to offer systems and sometimes it makes sense for us to offer systems, and sometimes it makes sense for us to license cores in our technology.
有時我們銷售芯片是有意義的,有時我們提供系統是有意義的,有時我們提供系統是有意義的,有時我們的技術中授權內核是有意義的。
And so I think that the way you should think about our technology licensing is that Intel is one of the opportunities for us, but this is a much larger opportunity for us than ever before.
所以我認為你應該考慮我們的技術許可的方式是英特爾是我們的機會之一,但這對我們來說是一個比以往任何時候都大得多的機會。
This is an area that we have a lot of activity around.
這是一個我們有很多活動的領域。

As a follow-up, you mentioned that automotive generated a record amount of revenue for that segment.
作為後續行動,您提到汽車為該細分市場創造了創紀錄的收入。
Could you give us a sense of how big automotive is now as a percentage of Tegra?
您能否讓我們了解一下現在汽車佔 Tegra 的比例有多大?

I would say that it's probably about 25% of Tegra and accelerating.
我會說它可能是 Tegra 的 25% 並且正在加速。
By -- the way to think about automotive is the automotive -- the modern car is a connected car.
通過 - 思考汽車的方式是汽車 - 現代汽車是聯網汽車。
And so visual computing matters more than ever.
因此,視覺計算比以往任何時候都更重要。
And instead of using traditional mechanical instrumentation, digital clusters provide them the opportunity to modernize the driving experience.
而不是使用傳統的機械儀表,數字儀表組為他們提供了現代化駕駛體驗的機會。
The GPU, because of the GP GPU, the programmable GPU inside our processors, make possible all kinds of new driver assistance capability, because of computer vision, because of driver assistance, artificial intelligence type of capabilities, we make cars safer and we make cars funner to drive.
GPU,因為 GP GPU,我們處理器內部的可編程 GPU,使各種新的駕駛員輔助能力成為可能,因為計算機視覺,因為駕駛員輔助,人工智能類型的能力,我們讓汽車更安全,我們製造汽車開車更有趣。
From digital clusters to infotainment systems, to in the future, driver assistance, the car is going to be an opportunity for more than just one GPU.
從數字集群到信息娛樂系統,再到未來的駕駛輔助,汽車將不僅僅是一個 GPU 的機會。
And as we see the success of the Tesla electric car, I think you are going to see more and more car companies follow suit and be much more aggressive in adding mobile computing into the car.
隨著我們看到特斯拉電動汽車的成功,我想你會看到越來越多的汽車公司效仿,並且更加積極地將移動計算添加到汽車中。
This is an area that we have invested quite a lot of effort over the years, and our expectation is to see continued success here.

My first question, Jen-Hsun can you give us an update on the Tegra 4i and that road map as it relates to certification and what you may see in terms of sales in the next several quarters?
我的第一個問題,Jen-Hsun,您能否向我們介紹一下 Tegra 4i 的最新情況以及與認證相關的路線圖,以及您在未來幾個季度的銷售情況?
And I have a follow-up.
我有一個後續行動。
- President and CEO
- President and CEO
Thanks, Hans, I appreciate that.
謝謝,漢斯,我很感激。
We had said earlier previously that Tegra 4i projects are in development and that we expect them likely to be announced in Q1 and ship no later than Q2.
我們之前曾說過,Tegra 4i 項目正在開發中,我們預計它們可能會在第一季度公佈,並且不遲於第二季度發貨。
I appreciate you asking, and we did not announce it, but Tegra 4i has now been certified through AT&T, and we're really excited about that.
感謝您的提問,我們沒有宣布,但 Tegra 4i 現在已通過 AT&T 認證,我們對此感到非常興奮。
So we're going to continue to wait to announce devices but it has been certified for voice and data.
因此,我們將繼續等待發佈設備,但它已通過語音和數據認證。
- Analyst

Okay, that's great to hear.
好的,很高興聽到。
And then as a follow-up, because the Tegra 4i is implementing a software defined approach in terms of the modem, what do you suppose would be the implications of this type of an approach compared to some of your potential rivals that are struggling with using just traditional hardware approaches?
然後作為後續行動,因為 Tegra 4i 在調製解調器方面實施了一種軟件定義的方法,你認為與你的一些正在努力使用的潛在競爭對手相比,這種方法的含義是什麼?只是傳統的硬件方法?
Thanks.
謝謝。
- President and CEO
- President and CEO
The benefit of software defined radios is to be able to reuse that processor for many different protocols.
軟件定義無線電的好處是能夠為許多不同的協議重用該處理器。
And if the processor is designed with enough headroom we will be able to support higher bit rates and an ever-changing landscape of protocols.
如果處理器設計有足夠的餘量,我們將能夠支持更高的比特率和不斷變化的協議格局。
So if you look at our progress, our progress with respect to getting Tegra 4i certified and the i500 has also, by the way, been certified for voice and data, our speed of getting our modem certified certainly is an indication of the flexibility of SDR.
所以如果你看看我們的進展,我們在獲得 Tegra 4i 認證方面的進展,順便說一下,i500 也獲得了語音和數據認證,我們獲得調製解調器認證的速度肯定是 SDR 靈活性的一個指標.
Now one of the historical challenges of SDR is thought to be power consumption.
現在,SDR 的歷史挑戰之一被認為是功耗。
Those are not fundamental problems.
這些都不是根本問題。
Those are architectural and technology challenges.
這些都是架構和技術挑戰。
And with the right technology, the right architecture, and a lot of great care, we have been able to make Tegra 4i and the i500 modems fit within very aggressive and competitive power envelopes.
憑藉正確的技術、正確的架構和大量的精心呵護,我們已經能夠使 Tegra 4i 和 i500 調製解調器適應非常激進和具有競爭力的功率範圍。
We're in pretty great shape there and I am looking for to launching devices with them.

We are indicating in our guidance for Q4 that we will be essentially flat in Q4 versus Q3.
我們在第四季度的指導中指出,我們將在第四季度與第三季度基本持平。
We did articulate that our Tegra business would be up sequentially.
我們確實明確表示我們的 Tegra 業務將按順序增長。
So therefore our overall GPU business will be slightly down from Q3 in total.
因此,我們的整體 GPU 業務總體上將比第三季度略有下降。
We still believe strong growth in terms of the overall gaming side of that will continue as we go into Q4.
我們仍然相信,隨著我們進入第四季度,整體遊戲方面的強勁增長將繼續。

Just a question about the graphic situation on the Quadro side, you had nice growth last quarter.
只是關於 Quadro 方面的圖形情況的問題,上個季度你有很好的增長。
I'm wondering what you see for an outlook for that product line for the longer-term and what you think the positive drivers have been to date.
我想知道您對該產品線的長期前景有何看法,以及您認為迄今為止的積極驅動因素是什麼。
- President and CEO

Thanks JoAnne.
謝謝喬安妮。
The Quadro growth drivers are fundamentally related to the fact that more and more companies are using digital design approaches for every aspect of their product designs.
Quadro 的增長動力從根本上與越來越多的公司在其產品設計的各個方面使用數字設計方法這一事實相關。
There are so many companies who still use mechanical prototyping, actual prototyping.
有很多公司仍在使用機械原型,實際原型。
But today, unless -- if you really want to be able to stay state-of-the-art, create devices that are as exquisite as what we see in the market place today, or it is that you like to do more 3-D virtual prototyping, all of that is going to require you to invest in designing in 3-D.
但是今天,除非——如果你真的想保持最先進的水平,創造出與我們今天在市場上看到的一樣精緻的設備,或者你喜歡做更多 3- D 虛擬原型,所有這些都需要您投資於 3-D 設計。
And so we're just seeing greater and greater adoption of 3-D design in all aspects of product design.
因此,我們只是看到越來越多地採用 3-D 設計在產品設計的各個方面。
The second growth factor has to do with the fact that we are able to now, because of our rendering techniques, able to -- we are able to add value to a larger part of the workflow.
第二個增長因素與我們現在能夠做到這一點有關,因為我們的渲染技術能夠——我們能夠為大部分工作流程增加價值。
Whereas before we were used for design we are now used largely -- we are also used largely for styling because our visualization and our rendering is photorealistic now.
而在我們被用於設計之前,我們現在主要用於 - 我們也主要用於造型,因為我們的可視化和渲染現在是照片級的。
We can capture real materials, so as a result you can actually render using computers the ability to prototype devices that are photorealistic.
我們可以捕捉真實的材料,因此您可以使用計算機實際渲染具有照片級真實感的原型設備的能力。
We are also increasingly being used in product lifetime management, and so PLM.
我們也越來越多地用於產品生命週期管理,PLM 也是如此。
That's just an increase in the number of people inside companies that would need to use 3-D assets, whether it is in training or documentation or managing their supply chain, managing their subcontractors, inventory management, parts repairs.
這只是公司內部需要使用 3-D 資產的人數的增加,無論是在培訓或文檔方面,還是在管理他們的供應鏈、管理他們的分包商、庫存管理、零件維修方面。
More and more of the entire product lifetime includes 3-D where Quadro could be useful.
整個產品生命週期中越來越多的內容包括 Quadro 可能有用的 3-D。
And lastly, more and more countries are continuing to adopt manufacturing, not just for -- not jut at the supply chain level, but at the design level.
最後,越來越多的國家繼續採用製造業,不僅僅是為了——不僅僅是在供應鏈層面,而是在設計層面。
And so Quadro continues to surprise us with the size of the overall market.
因此,Quadro 繼續以整個市場的規模讓我們感到驚訝。
And I think when we innovate, we discover that the market is larger than people had ever expected.
而且我認為,當我們進行創新時,我們會發現市場比人們預期的要大。

Okay, so all good drivers, and in the past you have been talking about Quadro as growing at a rate of GDP and then we saw that very sharp pickup.
好的,所有優秀的驅動程序,過去你一直在談論 Quadro 以 GDP 的速度增長,然後我們看到了非常急劇的回升。
I wondering if you think the increase in sequential growth that we have seen in the last few quarters is sustainable or if we have perhaps seen a new adoption wave that is likely to settle down.
我想知道您是否認為我們在過去幾個季度中看到的連續增長的增長是可持續的,或者我們是否可能已經看到可能會穩定下來的新的採用浪潮。
How do you view the future in this?
您如何看待這方面的未來?
- President and CEO

I don't know that I could be particularly precise about it.
我不知道我能不能說得特別準確。
The thing that I do know is this, our market share in Quadro is very high.
我所知道的是,我們在 Quadro 的市場份額非常高。
I really don't know of any car company or movie studio or digital broadcast station or oil or gas company that doesn't use Quadro in a large part of their entire workflow.
我真的不知道有哪家汽車公司、電影製片廠、數字廣播站或石油或天然氣公司在其整個工作流程的很大一部分中不使用 Quadro。
And so I think the real opportunity for us is of course continue to expand globally and work with OEMs around the world to see their workstations be adopted by the various industries.
所以我認為我們真正的機會當然是繼續在全球擴張,並與世界各地的原始設備製造商合作,以看到他們的工作站被各個行業採用。
That is a deliberate effort on our part and we have OEM partnerships in every geography to expand their reach and their understanding of workstations in the local industries.
這是我們的一項深思熟慮的努力,我們在每個地區都有 OEM 合作夥伴關係,以擴大他們的影響力和他們對當地行業工作站的理解。
And then secondarily, to continue to create new ways for workstations to be useful to more people, to more professionals inside the company, expanding our reach of their workflow.
其次,繼續創造新的方式讓工作站對更多人有用,對公司內部的更多專業人士有用,擴大我們對他們工作流程的影響。
In those two dimensions if we continue to innovate and we continue to drive hard, I think we have every opportunity to outgrow the GDP.
在這兩個方面,如果我們繼續創新並繼續努力,我認為我們有機會超過 GDP。
We will see how it turns out that, but that is our deliberate strategy now.

If I could ask a question on the gross margin.

And then on the pricing front, those price cuts that you sent through just recently, is there any need that you will have at some point to offer rebates to your card partners for them to sell those products that they bought the GPUs from you at the older prices?
然後在定價方面,您最近發送的那些降價,您是否需要在某個時候向您的卡合作夥伴提供回扣,以便他們出售他們從您那裡購買 GPU 的產品舊價格?

Android 不僅僅與手機有關。
Android is the most disruptive operating system that we have seen in a few decades, in a couple of decades.
Android 是我們在幾十年、幾十年裡見過的最具顛覆性的操作系統。
This time because of the open-source nature of Android, it could be adapted to all kinds of devices.
這一次,由於 Android 的開源特性,它可以適應各種設備。
You see that all of a sudden, not only is Android in smart phones, it was in tablets, it is now in all-in-one PCs, I think three all-in-one PCs based on Tegra was announced this last quarter, you are going to see more of them.
您會發現,突然之間,不僅是智能手機中的 Android,它還出現在平板電腦中,現在還出現在一體機中,我認為上個季度發布了三款基於 Tegra 的一體機,你會看到更多。
It is quite delightful to be able to buy a monitor, bring it home and plug it in and it's already a computer.

You are going to see Android in all kinds of other computing devices including set-top box and others.
您將在各種其他計算設備中看到 Android,包括機頂盒和其他設備。
And so Android is probably the most versatile operating system that we have ever known.
因此,Android 可能是我們所知道的最通用的操作系統。
And has the benefit of also being connected to the cloud, and so the day that you turn it on, it is incredibly useful with all kinds of applications already on it.

Workstations isn't in the sweet spot of enterprise computing, it's a specialized part of enterprise computing.
工作站不是企業計算的最佳選擇,它是企業計算的一個專門部分。
And Tesla is for high performance computing which is not in the sweet spot of enterprise computing.
特斯拉是針對高性能計算的,而這並不是企業計算的最佳選擇。
This is the first time that we have been in the sweet spot of enterprise computing and had the benefit of the sales force of every major OEM in the world supporting its launch.
這是我們第一次處於企業計算的最佳位置,並受益於支持其發布的全球各大 OEM 的銷售團隊。
From Cisco to Dell to HP to IBM, Fujitsu, Hitachi, I don't know of any global enterprise IT Company who isn't supporting GRID and taking it to market.
從思科到戴爾,從惠普到 IBM、富士通、日立,我不知道有任何一家全球企業 IT 公司不支持 GRID 並將其推向市場。
The type of applications that -- we have the support of Citrix and VMware.
我們得到 Citrix 和 VMware 支持的應用程序類型。
Citrix we announced in Q2 I think it was, and VMware announced this last quarter.
我認為是我們在第二季度宣布的 Citrix,而 VMware 在上個季度宣布了這一消息。
And so we have sales force, we have the largest extended sales force of any product that we have ever had.
所以我們有銷售隊伍,我們擁有有史以來任何產品中最大的擴展銷售隊伍。
The type of applications of people are using it for are really essentially taking their PC and virtualizing it and putting it in a data center.
人們使用它的應用程序類型實際上是把他們的 PC 虛擬化並將其放入數據中心。
And the power of doing that is you can now access your PC from anywhere on any device.

With a Citrix receiver client or the VMware receiver client, you can now have your PC literally anywhere.
借助 Citrix 接收器客戶端或 VMware 接收器客戶端,您現在幾乎可以在任何地方擁有您的 PC。
Now there are several powerful benefits to that.

For the people who are designing and working on large data sets the benefit is that you have moved your computer closer to the data, so instead of moving the data to the computer you are moving the computer to the data.
對於設計和處理大型數據集的人來說,好處是您將計算機移到更靠近數據的位置,因此不是將數據移到計算機上,而是將計算機移到數據上。
For big data problems, large data sets, projects where you are collaborating with a lot of other people, you now have -- you now don't have a whole lot of different copies of data.
對於大數據問題、大數據集、與很多其他人合作的項目,你現在擁有——你現在沒有很多不同的數據副本。
You also have the benefit of mobility.
您還可以享受機動性的好處。
People are using more and more mobile devices and people working from customer sites and working from home or out giving demos.
人們正在使用越來越多的移動設備,人們在客戶站點工作,在家工作或進行演示。
The benefit of having mobility is really incredible.

A couple questions here.
這裡有幾個問題。
On the Tegra, what type of milestone should we be looking at here in the next few quarters in terms of really seeing how successful the 4 and 4i is going to be compared to the 3 when that launched and the traction that you had initially with that product?
在 Tegra 上,我們應該在接下來的幾個季度中看到什麼樣的里程碑,以真正看到 4 和 4i 與 3 推出時的成功程度以及最初的牽引力產品?

- President and CEO
I would look at several things.
我會看幾件事。
I think at this time the strategy that I have laid out for you guys before basically says several things.
我認為此時我之前為你們制定的策略基本上說明了幾件事。
One, we believe that Tegra 4, we delayed Tegra 4 so that we could pull in our Logan project and also our modems.
一,我們相信 Tegra 4,我們推遲了 Tegra 4,以便我們可以引入我們的 Logan 項目以及我們的調製解調器。
I am delighted with that decision.
我對這個決定感到高興。
It put a trough in this year.
它在今年出現了低谷。
However we have bounced back from that.
然而,我們已經從中反彈。
I think that what you will see is several things.
我認為你會看到幾件事。
One, there will be more devices ramped with Tegra 4. Tegra 4 should continue to contribute to our momentum recovering in Tegra.
一,Tegra 4 將會有更多的設備。Tegra 4 應該繼續為我們在 Tegra 恢復的勢頭做出貢獻。
You should see that Tegra is adopted in more than just phones.
您應該看到 Tegra 不僅被手機採用。
They're will be phones and tablets and other devices, automotive and other devices.
它們將是手機、平板電腦和其他設備、汽車和其他設備。
And then third, and you should see our modems come to market.
然後是第三個,您應該會看到我們的調製解調器上市。
With important devices that I think people would love using.
使用我認為人們會喜歡使用的重要設備。
And then lastly, the gap between Tegra 4 and our next-generation processor, Project Logan, should be a lot shorter than one year.
最後,Tegra 4 與我們的下一代處理器 Project Logan 之間的差距應該比一年短得多。
And so I think all of that is on track and we will keep an eye on it.
所以我認為所有這一切都在軌道上,我們會密切關注它。
But those would be the major differences between Tegra 4, Tegra 4i and Logan versus Tegra 3.
但這將是 Tegra 4、Tegra 4i 和 Logan 與 Tegra 3 之間的主要區別。

Great, and just one follow-up on the OpEx.
太好了,而且只是對 OpEx 的一項後續行動。
I know that you're not giving full look guidance on to next year but just to understand in terms of the Tegra spending, how should we be looking at that on a year-over-year basis?
我知道您並沒有對明年給出全面的指導,而只是為了了解 Tegra 的支出,我們應該如何看待這一點?
I guess that does have an impact in terms of how we should look at next year's R&D expense to some extent.
我想這確實在某種程度上對我們應該如何看待明年的研發費用產生了影響。

Well, in the beginning of the year we said that we are targeting $1.6 billion for our total OpEx for the year, and based on what Colette just described, we are right on target at $1.6 billion.
嗯,在年初我們說過,我們今年的總運營支出目標是 16 億美元,根據科萊特剛剛描述的內容,我們的目標是 16 億美元。
If you looked at the growth quarter-to-quarter, by and large I think we are -- we have said before, that when a tick up in investment to support our modem projects, and our modem projects has two different pieces.
如果您查看季度間的增長,總的來說,我認為我們是 - 我們之前說過,當投資支持我們的調製解調器項目時,我們的調製解調器項目有兩個不同的部分。
One piece is data modem which I don't think anyone disputes is important in many of our market segments.
一件是數據調製解調器,我認為在我們的許多細分市場中,沒有人會爭論它是重要的。
Nor is anybody particularly concerned that SDR is a great platform for data modem, there was a question about our voice modem.
也沒有人特別擔心 SDR 是數據調製解調器的一個很好的平台,我們的語音調製解調器有一個問題。
We had invested -- we have ticked up our investment to support those two things.
我們已經投資了——我們已經加大了投資以支持這兩件事。
I think we are done at those levels.
我認為我們已經完成了這些水平。
So when the time comes for Q1 guidance, we will tell you surely more.
因此,當第一季度的指導時間到來時,我們肯定會告訴你更多。
But we are invested into the markets that we believe we want to be invested in.

Welcome Colette.

Can you talk a little bit about what you're seeing in terms of Tegra?
您能談談您對 Tegra 的看法嗎?
You have got a few different go to market strategies there with your SHIELD and the Note project.
您的 SHIELD 和 Note 項目在那裡有一些不同的進入市場策略。
Can you give us an update on how both of those are doing and what percentage of Tegra revenues are coming from each?

- President and CEO
- President and CEO
First of all, thanks a lot Doug, I appreciate the question.
首先,非常感謝道格,我很欣賞這個問題。
Tegra Note is a reference platform.
Tegra Note 是一個參考平台。
Tegra Note is a reference platform albeit very complete.
Tegra Note 是一個參考平台,雖然非常完整。
It has the additional qualities that the software is very polished.
它具有軟件非常精美的附加品質。
And that it includes features like Stylus, the world's first high-performance passive stylus that is unique.
而且它還包括 Stylus 等功能,這是世界上第一款獨一無二的高性能無源觸控筆。
It has the world's first always on HDR that is unique.
它擁有世界上第一個獨特的始終在 HDR 上。
So it has capabilities that no other tablets have.
因此,它具有其他平板電腦所沒有的功能。
No other devices have.
其他設備都沒有。
And it has the benefit of having software that is completely polished and refined.
它的好處是擁有完全完善和完善的軟件。
But otherwise it is a reference platform and we direct our partners, particularly local brand holders around the world who don't have the ability to invest in building such a great device at the ODMs that we partner with to have these devices built.
但除此之外,它是一個參考平台,我們指導我們的合作夥伴,特別是世界各地的本地品牌持有者,他們沒有能力在我們合作的 ODM 上投資構建如此出色的設備來構建這些設備。
But in the end, our business model there is to sell and ship, and we partner with local brand holders around the world to take these devices to market.
但最終,我們的商業模式是銷售和運輸,我們與世界各地的本地品牌持有者合作,將這些設備推向市場。
With respect to SHIELD, it is our initiative to cultivate the gaming market place for Android.
在 SHIELD 方面,我們主動為 Android 開發遊戲市場。
We believe that Android is going to be a very important platform for gaming in the future.
我們相信,Android 將成為未來非常重要的遊戲平台。
And to do so, we have to create devices that enable great gaming to happen on Android.
為此,我們必須創建能夠在 Android 上進行精彩遊戲的設備。
Our investment there is modest, our expectations are modest, and our distribution is modest.
我們在那裡的投資是適度的,我們的期望是適度的,我們的分配是適度的。
We built these devices, they are in the hands of every developer in the world now, and the reviews have been fantastic.
我們製造了這些設備,它們現在掌握在世界上每個開發人員的手中,並且評論非常棒。
And we are going to let the market tell us how they like it, and then we will take it from there.
我們要讓市場告訴我們他們喜歡它,然後我們會從那裡拿走它。
And so for Tegra Note the business model ultimately is to sell chips, partner with partners, like we do with GeForce, and in the case of SHIELD it is an NVIDIA branded product but we are approaching it modestly and carefully.
因此,對於 Tegra Note 而言,最終的商業模式是銷售芯片,與合作夥伴合作,就像我們與 GeForce 所做的一樣,而對於 SHIELD,它是一個 NVIDIA 品牌產品,但我們正在謙虛謹慎地接近它。

If you could maybe offer us a little bit of insight into the progress you are having with 4i, it is great to hear that it has been certified.
如果您可以向我們提供一些關於您使用 4i 的進展情況的見解,很高興聽到它已通過認證。
What type of launch and how big a breadth of launch do you expect 4i to have on the business for Tegra?
您希望 4i 對 Tegra 的業務有什麼類型的發布以及發布的廣度有多大?

It is our first voice modem product and so my expectations are that the device -- the devices will be quite terrific.
這是我們的第一款語音調製解調器產品,所以我的期望是該設備——這些設備將非常棒。
And I think people will be delighted by the OEM that it comes from.
而且我認為人們會對它來自的 OEM 感到高興。
It will likely be global, but not US.
它可能是全球性的,但不是美國的。
You really need to have CDMA in the US to be successful, so we're not targeting US with respect to phones, we are targeting outside US.
你真的需要在美國擁有 CDMA 才能成功,所以我們在手機方面不是針對美國,而是針對美國以外的地區。
And so let's go ahead and wait and see until Q2 timeframe or Q1 timeframe when it gets launched and Q2 when it gets shipped, but my expectation is that it should be really wonderful.
因此,讓我們繼續拭目以待,直到第二季度或第一季度推出,以及第二季度發貨,但我的期望是它應該真的很棒。

Jen-Hsun, just on the competitive landscape in the handset market, and to a lesser extent the tablet market for Tegra, going forward, as you know the competition has intensified from players like Mediatech and Spectrum on the low-end but also other players.

I appreciate the question, Raji.
我很欣賞這個問題,拉吉。
First of all Tegra is not just about phones.
首先,Tegra 不僅僅與手機有關。
Although we have found success with XiaoMi, and we have found success with others, and we have participated in building some of the most exciting super phones in the marketplace, and we will continue to do that, Tegra is not just about phones.
儘管我們在小米取得了成功,我們也與其他人取得了成功,並且我們參與了市場上一些最令人興奮的超級手機的構建,我們將繼續這樣做,但 Tegra 不僅僅是手機。
Unlike the companies that you have named, NVIDIA's application processors can be successful and very successful without modems.
與您提到的公司不同,NVIDIA 的應用處理器可以在沒有調製解調器的情況下取得成功並且非常成功。
However, there are many segments of our market going forward where a data modem is important to have.
然而,在我們市場的許多細分市場中,數據調製解調器很重要。
And Icera gives us a platform to build the data modem, which we are very successful at already.
Icera 為我們提供了一個構建數據調製解調器的平台,我們已經非常成功。
I think the risk of our data modem success is not at all a concern, and in fact, we're incredibly proud of the performance of our data modem.
我認為我們的數據調製解調器成功的風險根本不是問題,事實上,我們為我們的數據調製解調器的性能感到無比自豪。
It is a piece of technology and a companion part of our technology offering that is really important for us to have.
它是一項技術,也是我們技術產品的配套部分,對我們來說非常重要。
If you look at Tegra therefore, whether it is in phones were tablets or cars, set-top boxes, gaming devices, all-in-one PCs, Chrome PCs, they all require the same application processor.
因此,如果您看一下 Tegra,無論是手機、平板電腦還是汽車、機頂盒、遊戲設備、一體機 PC、Chrome PC,它們都需要相同的應用處理器。
And so Tegra is more than just phones.
因此,Tegra 不僅僅是手機。
And in many of those segments, a data modem is very important to have.
在許多這些領域中,擁有數據調製解調器非常重要。
And in one segment, a voice modem is very important to have.
在一個細分市場中,擁有語音調製解調器非常重要。
And so the way to think about our position -- the way to think about our position, you have to think about the whole Android, the whole mobile technology market.
所以考慮我們的立場的方式——考慮我們的立場的方式,你必須考慮整個Android,整個移動技術市場。
You can't just think about phones.
你不能只考慮手機。
Which is very unlike the two companies that you mentioned earlier.
這與您之前提到的兩家公司非常不同。
They tend to be very phone centric, we are just simply not.
他們往往以電話為中心,而我們根本不是。
I understand that last couple of years, that the only conversation has been around phones.
我知道在過去的幾年裡,唯一的對話是圍繞電話進行的。
But we all know that the conversation around Android is going to expand far beyond phones.
但我們都知道,圍繞 Android 的討論將遠遠超出手機。
And this is an area that we can add a lot to the conversation.
這是一個我們可以在對話中添加很多內容的領域。
