Question How do you pronounce Nvidia?

[GodisanAtheist]

Ever since Nvidia roared onto the world stage with the whole AI thing, listening to market/stock news has been absolutely painful. Hearing all these guys who have only ever seen Nvidia in print trying to stumble their way through pronouncing the name has really been something, but there are some real knee slappers in there.

I think there are two major pronunciation branches, but I've heard some really wild ones like ng-v-idea and such.

So, vote, how's do you pronounce it?

it is a play on invidia, latin for envy from what i understand. they just dropped the i.

The same way the battlefield 2 intro video said it!

Totally agree about hearing these stock guys butcher the name. It’s hilarious! Separates the suits from the gamers.

 

[gorobei]

you would think the stock guys would have listened to the quarterly report/phone q&a and heard the name said out loud.

if they arent even listening to the guidance call would you really want to trust their analysis?

Like this (Finnish voice): https://translate.google.com/?sl=fi&tl=en&text=nvidia&op=translate
I.e. "änvidia" (letter n -> "än") so similar idea to "en-vid-ea".

Yup- envy, the "green eyed monster". Hence the company logo.

(Also where the English word"invidious" comes from.)

 

[poke01]

A company that can’t make good GPUs, cannot have good QA checks and cheats customers, that’s how you pronounce Nvidia.

Wait that’s the definition, my bad

 

[Mopetar]

They should relocate the company to Nigeria so we can call them ₦vidia, just like people used to refer to Microsoft as M$.

I'm more surprised that fark.com is still around. I can't remember the last time I went to their website, but it's been a while. When did they change their design aesthetic to low-rent Reddit?

We're back to the classic "no-video" to celebrate Blackwell launch.
