Articles about Nvidia the company?

[andwhite]

Can anyone help me out and point me towards some good articles that describe Nvidia's history, strategy, reasons for success etc.. I want to do a paper on the company for school and I need some good reference material. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Interview with NVIDIA's Nick Triantos - December 6, 1999

This interview is a little old but maybe you can use it.

here's an excerpt:

nV News: In the past 18 months, NVIDIA has had remarkable financial growth. With the release of the TNT/TNT2/GeForce 256 during this time, NVIDIA's corporate strategy appears to be paying dividends. What is the formula for NVIDIA's success? Is it the quality of your management and employee infrastructure, greater research and development budgets, or rewarding employees with vacations to exotic places?

Nick: I'm an engineer, not a finance person, but I think NVIDIA's success has come down to a few simple ideas:
We ship new chips every six months. Each one's much better than the chip before it. We've gotten good at shipping new chips with that kind of schedule.


We concentrate on industry standards. We support Direct3D and OpenGL, and don't waste time with proprietary APIs, or the cost of getting developers to use that API. We find ways to innovate on top of those APIs, by extensions or by helping get the features right into the API.


We work our butts off. It's really hard to deliver successful products. Lots of people here work really hard to make sure that we can launch these products and sell them to all the customers we've got.

edit:
Here's another interview, this one a bit more recent:
Interview - Brian Burke of NVIDIA - December 23, 2000
