Pretty sure his criticality to NVDA is the fact that he founded it and has been its CEO for all of its existence. GPGPUs were entirely his vision. Back in 2008 when no one gave a shit about CUDA or GPGPUs he was the only one insisting that massive data processing on GPUs was going to be important for data centers. He kept funding that for another 15 years despite the target audience being niche scientific computing and the market not rewarding him for that. NVDA without him is going to be a different company. That’s obviously bound to happen sooner or later, but Apple without Steve is a different company than Apple with Steve. Could be better, could be worse, but it’ll surly be different.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this was a ploy to buy the Chinese more time. They are coming for the GPGPU game with early entrants like Lisuan Tech LX 7G100. They are still a few years behind but you know their tenacity and commitment to getting it done by hook or by crook. A few years of Nvidia stumbling in the woods is all thats standing in the way of China catching up and taking yet another industry away from the west (as if Nuclear, Batteries, Cars, drones weren't enough). The Dems will have an ax to grind and I guess unlucky Jensen is the first victim. If they kill this golden goose man oh man the history books are going to be brutal.
