"I want to know the speed of light. I want to know absolutely the best you can possibly do in whatever the cost is. I don care. Just tell me that number."
The speakers discuss Jensen Huang s approach of demanding vendor estimates that mirror the theoretical fastest production speeds—termed as the "speed of light principle." This method forces suppliers to reveal the absolute best performance figures, thereby allowing NVIDIA to optimize production schedules, reduce cycle times from annual to semi-annual launches, and maintain technological leadership. Such operational rigor is viewed as a key competitive advantage.
