Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born.
It might be one sliver of a larger revenue pie and seemingly only worth a brief mention during Nvidia's Q2 earnings call, but the PC gaming market seems to be doing just fine if Nvidia's latest proclamations are anything to go by.the company said that"gaming revenue of $2.88 billion increased 9% sequentially and 16% year-on-year.
AI is what's driving most of Nvidia's overall success, of course. Looking at the bigger picture, Nvidia's results show a $30 billion Q2 revenue which is"up 15% from the previous quarter and up 122% from a year ago," this being"well above our outlook of $28 billion." Earnings per share have gone up from $0.25 in Q2 2024 to $0.60 in Q1 2025 and now $0.67 in Q2 2025. It's a slowdown in growth, but big growth nonetheless.
Huang explains,"Nvidia designed and optimized the Blackwell platform full stack end-to-end from chips, systems, networking, even structured cables, power and cooling, and mounts of software to make it fast for customers to build AI factories." Factories which, by the way, are"building-sized computers."
Since then, Jacob's led a double-life as part-hardware geek, part-philosophy nerd, first working as a Hardware Writer for PCGamesN in 2020, then working towards a PhD in Philosophy for a few years while freelancing on the side for sites such as TechRadar, Pocket-lint, and yours truly, PC Gamer. Eventually, he gave up the ruthless mercenary life to join the world's #1 PC Gaming site full-time. It's definitely not an ego thing, he assures us.
