I just thought this was a neat look in side a company we've all known, sometimes loved, sometimes been frustrated by or even hated, but has always been a core central company for decades in the gaming community. I remember when this campus was just a first released render and it looked so wild and out there and I wasn't sure if they were really going to do it, but Nvidia's execution as a company has been just amazing and this campus looks amazing too

Today's Silicon Valley trivia:

Nvidia started construction on their spaceship-looking HQ shortly after construction of Apple's distinct doughnut-shaped Apple Park began back in 2016. Apple Park was completed in 2017 around the same time as Endeavour, which is the triangle-shaped building. The second Nvidia building was added the following year.

At the time, Nvidia's market cap was around $200 billion. The company has added a tiny bit of market value since then.

Very cool, I’ve never seen an office like that before.

 

[PUNKem733]

Loving ANY corporation is wild to me. They wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire without paying them a fee, but I LOVE them. LMAO

It's a figure of speech, man.

Scummiest company on the planet thank god they didnt bought arm

If you say so.

That’s what happens when you triple the price of your product in a decade I guess.

As soon as AMD find a way to put it all on the CPU they are toast of course.

I love s good office

Put what on a CPU NVidias meteoric rise is mainly due to enterprise products.

 

[Anchovie123]

What? No work from home? I literally cant even.

 

[Hudo]

Why do I always cringe so hard at shit like this. Also "Employees are called nvidians". What the fuck is this? Jonestown? You're there to fucking work, not to live. Get shit done and get home.

 

[Kenpachii]

Shit like this just sounds like a giant waste of money to me.

 

[cyberheater]

Looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

It would have to be the opposite. Hugely parallelized GPUs would never be a match to just become a CPU, unless we’re talking APUs which I’m really not sure how you expect that to compete with Nvidia flagships? APUs already exist.

The opposite can happen though, CPUs have been having trouble with parallel threading and Nvidia has stated that eventually CPUs will just be part of GPUs, it would gain from it.

 

[Spyxos]

They forgot to show the lower floors.

They've been putting the graphics on CPUs ("APUs") for more than a decade. They can make respectable lower-mid range graphics, but you can always

-Put more power through two chips than one
-Put more transistor budget in two chips than one
-Dissipate more heat through two chips than one

And importantly

-Feed more bandwidth through two chips than one.

Even Apple's very excellent highly efficient unified memory single chip solutions only make it to *60 tier in most things, with a few outliers to higher but mostly not

If anything it's been the opposite with the GPU absorbing more of the datacenter, games, certainly the AI trainers than CPUs

 

[DaGwaphics]

Looks really interesting. I like the way a couple of the buildings in the fly over look like they have giant GPU fans on them.

I bet you didn't know all of tech companies have nicknames for the employees like that, well now you do

 

[Kdad]

Tommy Talarico did it better

 

[SirTerry-T]

Wheelchair access looks shitty.

Is that an American thing? It's fucking weird. Like something that legitimate cults would do, imho.

They hid the elevators! So crazy.

Agree. Bunch of wasted space. I only saw a handful of people actually working, most were eating, bullshitting or on their phones. Looked like a college cafeteria. Now we know why their GPUs cost 4 testicles.

It's a competition to retain the best talent in Silicon Valley, an appealing workspace is part of it, and also I think the whole concept of being open and running into people you know on the excessive stairs etc as they admit in the video is also to subtly give a sense of community and further better keep people there. If the salary was the same but you could choose this campus over a drab cubicle office building, I mean I know I'd pick this.

Also lunch breaks are a thing

I had to fact check this. You're incorrect. The cost of a testicle transplant is averaged at ~7500 USD (Fully Installed).

In a video showing a work environment focusing on lunch breaks almost completely is weird.

testicle transplant

How the fuck does that even work? So if I get a testicle transplant and proceed to impregnate a woman. The child will not have my genetics? Whose sperm will I shoot out?

Is it though, every workspace wants to present itself as a fun place to work, I'm sure the grind is extremely real at Nvidia on the inside though

It feels like Arasaka in real life.

 

[Fredrik]

Looks too chill, too tidy, like they don’t even work there. I want to see the messy electronics labs.

 

[Audiophile]

Looks like it was built by architects for architects.

The donors.

 

[WitchHunter]

Soul of Nvidia... ohh... is that thing even exists? Maybe a mutated monster hidden at the middle separates people from their souls every morning and lick them like popsickles until they give up their ideas.

Btw where are the animals? There is lots of space for dogs, cats, deers, cows, ducks, chickens... ;P

 

[Hudo]

That's like NTRing yourself.
