Prediction: This Quantum Computing Stock Will Be the Nvidia of the 2030s

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the undisputed king of semiconductor chips, especially for artificial intelligence (AI) use, but that wasn't always the case. The company started out by developing chips to speed up graphics rendering in video games. However, it later realized that its graphics processing units (GPUs) could be used for tasks outside of this market. As such, it created a software platform called CUDA that allowed developers to program GPUs for other tasks. While many didn't know it at the time, this completely changed Nvidia's future.To speed up the adoption of CUDA, Nvidia decided to give the software program away for free and pushed it into research labs and universities. This turned out to be a brilliant move, as it ended up creating a generation of developers trained to use its platform. Soon, entire libraries of software were being built on top of CUDA. That created a wide moat, because companies that wanted to switch to another GPU provider would both have to rewrite a ton of code and retrain their programmers.Image source: Getty Images.Continue readingWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei MotleyFool
