The mobile computing revolution is a seismic shift, according to Nvidia CEO. This chip designer firm is betting heavily on transformation of the infocom industries, whci is PC-centric toward mobile computing. It took PCs around 15 years to fully disrupt the minicomputer and mainframe business. But mobile computing is changing the world faster and will likely disrupt the PC and server markets in a much shorter time, driven by demand for smartphones and tablets. Those tablets and smartphones are much more powerful than 3 years ago and tend to be cheaper, favorising their wide global adoption even in emerging markets.
According to CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, the software makers are moving to smartphones and tablets because that is where the opportunity for bigger sales is. Those software makers are moving very quickly to the best operating systems and hardware, because the shift toward mobile computing is happening faster. Other trends such as cloud computing are accelerating this shift.
