Earlier this week Nvidia briefly became the most valuable company in the world by market cap, with its $3.3 trillion valuation overshadowing rival tech giants like Microsoft and Google. However, the graphics and AI accelerator company doesn't even crack the top 100 most iconic brands in Interbrand's latest survey. In tech and business circles AI computing is well known to have driven Nvidia to record revenues these past few quarters, especially as it shipped over 3.76M data center GPUs in 2023. However, the green team's branding hasn't seemed through into the consciousness of the general public.
Huge sales volumes and orders are driving Nvidia's stock price, and with the next-generation Blackwell AI chips from the company estimated to cost $70,000 a piece, there is no sign that the company's growth will slow down. Nvidia clinched the 'most valuable' company title from Apple a few days ago, which held it from 2011 to until 2024, except for a brief period early this year, when Microsoft beat Apple from January to June.
