Jensen Huang invited the chairpersons and chief executives of a host of Nvidia AI chip-building partners to a lavish meal on Saturday. According to the Central New Agency (machine translated), at least 35 execs attended what is being locally referred to as Huang’s 'trillion dollar banquet.' Industry luminaries attending included the heads of Quanta, Asus, Acer, Inventec, Gigabyte, ASRock, and MSI. The Nvidia CEO also gave a short interview alongside TSMC chairman CC Wei, where both industry giants had nothing but praise for each other.
This lunch out is reminiscent of Huang’s dinner with the heads of TSMC, MediaTek, and Quanta just before Computex 2024. However, the media did not have to speculate as to why the Nvidia CEO brought some of the biggest names in the computer industry here. He has previously said that he intends to meet with the CEOs of Nvidia’s supply chain partners to thank them for building Nvidia, and this catered event is likely the culmination of that promise.
