NVIDIA Announces Q3 FY 2019 Results: Lots Of Stock

This afternoon, NVIDIA announced their earnings for the third quarter of their 2019 fiscal year. Revenue was up 21% year-over-year to $3.181 billion. NVIDIA had margins this quarter of 60.4%, up 0.9% from the same time last year. Operating income for the quarter was $1.058 billion, up 18% from a year ago, and due to a booked tax benefit of $149 million, net income was $1.23 billion, up 47% from a year ago. Earnings per share came in at $1.97, up 48%.

NVIDIA Q3 2019 Financial Results (GAAP)
  Q3'2019 Q2'2018 Q3'2018 Q/Q Y/Y
Revenue $3181M $3123M $2636M +2% +21%
Gross Margin 60.4% 63.3% 59.5% -2.9% +0.9%
Operating Income $1058M $1157M $895M -9% +18%
Net Income $1230M $1101M $838M +12% +47%
EPS $1.97 $1.76 $1.33 +12% +48%

Gaming revenue is still by far the largest part of NVIDIA’s earnings, with gaming revenue up 13% year-over-year to $1.764 million. NVIDIA of course released the GeForce RTX lineup this quarter, leapfrogging itself to remain at the top of the performance charts. However due to the quick fall of crypto currency, NVIDIA does have excess channel inventory of its older products due to vendors overstocking to try and keep up with the crypto boom which fell off so suddenly, but they expect to clear out that inventory soon.

Professional visualization had revenues of $305 million for the quarter, up 27.6% from Q3 2018. NVIDIA released Quadro RTX based on the new Turing architecture.

NVIDIA’s Datacenter group continues its rapid growth, delivering revenue of $792 million this quarter, up from $501 million a year ago, or a 58% gain. The company has delivered a lot of new products in this space over the last year, and has done an amazing job of delivering platforms for the fastest growing areas of computing.

Automotive based revenue was $172 million for the quarter, up 19.4% from Q3 2018. The company has achieved design wins for level-2 autopilot with Toyota, Volvo, and Isuzu, and have started production on Xavier which is the first single-chip autopilot SoC.

OEM & IP revenue was $148 million for the quarter, down from $191 million a year ago.

NVIDIA Quarterly Revenue Comparison (GAAP)
($ in millions)
In millions Q3'2019 Q2'2018 Q3'2018 Q/Q Y/Y
Gaming $1764 $1805 $1561 -2.3% +13.0%
Professional Visualization $305 $281 $239 +8.5% +27.6%
Datacenter $792 $760 $501 +4.2% +58.1%
Automotive $172 $161 $144 +6.8% +19.4%
OEM & IP $148 $116 $191 +27.6% -22.5%

Looking ahead to Q4 2019, NVIDIA is expecting revenues of $2.7 billion, plus or minus 2%. That would compare to $2.9 billion in Q4 2018.

Intel to Discontinue Itanium 9700 ‘Kittson’ Processor, the Last of the Itaniums

Image
Intel on Thursday notified its partners and customers that it would be discontinuing its Itanium 9700-series (codenamed Kittson) processors, the last Itanium chips on the market. Under their product discontinuance plan, Intel will cease shipments of Itanium CPUs in mid-2021, or a bit over two years from now. The impact to hardware vendors should be minimal – at this point HP Enterprise is the only company still buying the chips – but it nonetheless marks the end of an era for Intel and their interesting experiment into a non-x86 VLIW-style architecture. The current-generation octa and quad-core Itanium 9700-series processors were introduced by Intel in 2017, in the process becoming the final processors based on the IA-64 ISA. Kittson for its part was a clockspeed-enhanced version of the Itanium 9500-series ‘Poulson’ microarchitecture launched in 2012, and featured a 12 instructions per cycle issue width, 4-way Hyper-Threading, and multiple RAS capabilities not found on Xeon pr

Intel Axes 10nm CPU Based NUC

Image
Intel has notified its partners about plans to discontinue its only 10nm small form factor NUC in the market. The NUC, which went under the code name of Crimson Canyon, is/was Intel's only 10nm device in this market - it used Cannon Lake processors made on its 10 nm technology, and paired with AMD’s Radeon 540 graphics.  The fate of Intel’s Cannon Lake processors has been, to put it mildly, 'dead on arrival'. Delayed by over a year because of problems with 10 nm fabrication process, the CPUs suffered low yields and had design selections made that resulted in a non-functioning integrated GPU, as well as high power consumption: the Core i3-8121U processor at the heart of Intel's first generation 10nm ended up in a few China-only laptops ( which we reviewed ), and in a small number of Crimson Canyon NUC devices. Intel advises parties interested in its Crimson Canyon NUC SFF PCs to make their final orders by December 27, 2019, or return them by that date. The f

Qualcomm Launches the QCA6390 Chipset: 1.8 Gbps Wi-Fi 6 Ready with BlueTooth 5.1

Image
With the upcoming ratification of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard expected in August, a number of companies are gearing up with Wi-Fi 6 ‘ready’ routers and end-points to get the jump on the market. The idea is that the standard won’t change much between now and full ratification, and most companies developing chipsets expect to sail through without issues – the only difference between the companies will be on the ‘optional’ portions of the specifciations. With that, as we saw at Qualcomm’s Tech Day at the end of 2018, the company will be pushing its latest Wi-Fi 6 solutions onto the market. Today is the launch of one of the chipsets, the QCA6390, which also incorporates BlueTooth 5.1.
