Nvidia’s Thursday absolution of their Q1 banking letters has apparent that their revenues accept gone up from $1.9 billion in Q1 of aftermost year to a amazing $3.2 billion during this year’s aboriginal quarter. The closing amount is a ~$300 actor dollar access in acquirement compared to the abstracts appear in Q4 of aftermost year.
The added statements and abstracts accustomed by Nvidia in their balance alarm were additionally absolute but did not accommodated all analysts’ expectations, as the amount confused over 2.5% during after-hours trading. Jim Cramer, a accepted banking analyst and personality, bound jumped on analysts’ statements, calling them “total actor chowderhead analysts,” in an attack to alarm off their allegedly unrealistically aerial expectations of the company.

Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, accustomed the advice cryptocurrencies had on Nvidia’s profits in a account fabricated during the balance alarm with CNBC. Huang stated:
For those who are unaware, the appeal for GPUs over the advance of the accomplished year for mining purposes has acquired the PC enthusiast association to go into an abuse over the accepted aerial prices, not to acknowledgment the abridgement of supply.
It is now bright that 2025 and aboriginal 2025 saw a aggregation of cryptocurrency mining operations, individuals and corporations alike, affairs as abounding GPUs as they could get their easily on. Although retailers did their best to anticipate GPU shortages, by implementing restrictions on buyers, in the end, abounding mining companies still got their easily on the equipment.
Despite the blitz of aftermost year’s market, the GPU mining bazaar has been slowing bottomward as mining costs accept gone up while profits accept been decreasing, not a aggregate you appetite to see as a miner. As advertising for GPU mining begins to subside, prices and accumulation for cartoon cards will activate to acknowledgment to numbers which resemble the MSRP prices.
This is not the alone bad account for GPU miners worldwide. Bitmain’s advertisement of 3 cast new ASIC miners which run on the Equihash, ETHhash, and Cryptonite algorithms accept threatened the actuality of the GPU mining industry. These ASICs accommodate an exponentially college hashrate per dollar and watt of activity compared to acceptable GPU processes. However, ASICs accept been alone by a ample majority of the cryptocurrency association as abounding see ASICs as a blackmail to the decentralized attributes of cryptocurrencies.
The GPU mining association has been quick to jump on the announcements of the ASICs, calling for developers of GPU-mineable bill to angle abroad from ASICs. Despite the cries of the community, Ethereum and ZCash’s developers accept called to abjure or adjournment a angle abroad from ASIC miners.
With the blackmail of ASIC miners looming not too far in the distance, it is barefaced to see Nvidia’s expectations that its cryptocurrency profits will booty a beating. But the approaching could still be ablaze for Nvidia as they move into an era area technology use will become more prevalent.
