As Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Resigns, the Future of GeForce Hangs in the Balance

After 33 years, Jensen Huang has resigned from Nvidia, following a scandal involving a suspected Chinese spy. This has all kinds of implications for the economy as a whole but Huang's exit will certainly have a ripple effect on the world of PC gaming, too. With Nvidia CFO Collette Kress stepping in as interim CEO as the company searches for a permanent replacement, it's looking increasingly unlikely that GeForce is going to get much attention going forward.

Kress joined Nvidia in 2013, as the GeForce GTX 780 was coming out, and has helped guide the company through its transformation into a data center and AI powerhouse. Before Nvidia, she was at Cisco as the CFO of Business Technology and Operations Finance, and before that, she was CFO of the Servers and Tools Group at Microsoft. Her history, combined with Nvidia's current trajectory, means that AI is still going to be Nvidia's main business. After all, Nvidia has made hundreds of billions of dollars pursuing AI, so having a CFO in charge, even in the interim, probably means Team Green is going to push even harder for the AI market.

On the surface, then, nothing would really be changing for the company. I've been covering Nvidia for more than a decade now, and I've watched in real time as GeForce has become a smaller and smaller part of its CES showcases. Just this year, Nvidia straight up dropped gaming from its earnings reports , combining the category with "edge computing," along with robotics and mobile computing.
