    Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters in this presentation including, but not limited to, statements as to: our financial position; our markets, market opportunity, demand and
growth drivers; supply for our products; our financial outlook; the benefits, impact, performance, features and availability of our products and technologies; third parties adopting or using our products or
technologies; the benefits and impact of our collaborations or partnerships with third parties, and the features and availability of their offerings; sovereign AI revenue opportunity approaching high single
digit billions this year, from nothing last year; and game developers embracing NVIDIA Avatar Character Engine to create life-like avatars are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements and any other forward-looking statements that go beyond historical facts that are made in this presentation are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: global economic conditions; our reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble, package and test our
products; the impact of technological development and competition; development of new products and technologies or enhancements to our existing product and technologies; market acceptance of our
products or our partners' products; design, manufacturing or software defects; changes in consumer preferences and demands; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance
of our products or technologies when integrated into systems and other factors.
NVIDIA has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations,
business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and you should not
rely upon the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The future events and trends discussed in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from
those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Although NVIDIA believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the company cannot guarantee that
future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Except as required by law, NVIDIA disclaims any obligation to
update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances. For a complete discussion of factors that could materially affect our financial results and operations, please refer to the
reports we file from time to time with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Copies of reports we file with the SEC
are posted on our website and are available from NVIDIA without charge.
Many of the products and features described herein remain in various stages and will be offered on a when-and-if-available basis. The statements within are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as
a commitment, promise, or legal obligation, and the development, release, and timing of any features or functionalities described for our products is subject to change and remains at the sole discretion of
NVIDIA. NVIDIA will have no liability for failure to deliver or delay in the delivery of any of the products, features or functions set forth herein.
NVIDIA uses certain non-GAAP measures in this presentation including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances investors' overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance. The presentation of the
company's non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company's non-GAAP
measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Further information relevant to the interpretation of non-GAAP financial measures, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, may be found in the slide titled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures”.

workload in the latest round and every round since MLPerf’s
inference benchmarks began in October 2020
• NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM—our software that speeds and simplifies 
the complex job of inference on large language models—boosted 
the performance of NVIDIA Hopper on GPT-J LLM nearly 3x over 
their results just six months ago
• NVIDIA H200 GPUs, in their MLPerf debut, set a record on the

    NVIDIA Sweeps New Ranking of 
World’s Most Energy-Efficient 
Supercomputers
• In the latest ranking of the world’s most energy-efficient 
supercomputers – the Green500 – NVIDIA-powered systems swept 
the top 3 spots, and took 7 of the top 10
• The strong showing demonstrates how accelerated computing 
represents the most energy-efficient method for high-performance 
computing
• The top three systems were all powered by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace 
Hopper Superchip, offering over 1,000x more energy efficiency on 
mixed precision and AI tasks than previous generations
• Accelerated computing has proven to be the cornerstone of energy 
efficiency, with majority of the systems on the Green500 list —
including 40 of the top 50 — now featuring it
• NVIDIA’s upcoming Blackwell platform offers the computational 
power of the Titan supercomputer launched 10 years ago — a 
$100M system the size of a tennis court — yet efficient enough to 
be powered by a wall socket just like a typical home appliance
