#2Like most discussions of the last 25 years, this one starts 9 years ago. Good times.

#3Wow and it doesn't open with a picture of their lego server? Wasn't that their first one, 25 years ago?

It's a marketing piece, they don't particularly want to emphasize the hacky early days for an audience of Serious Enterprise Customers.

#6It seems all cutting edge datacenters like x.ai Colossus are using Nvidia networking. Now Google is upgrading to Nvidia networking, too.
Since Nvidia owns most of the Gpgpu products, they have top notch networking and interconnect, I wonder if they don't have a plan to own all datacenter hardware in the future. Maybe they plan to also release CPUs, motherboards, storage and whatever else is needed.

Grace Hopper already includes Arm based CPUs (and reference motherboards)

That was their plan with trying to buy ARM...
