NVIDIA divides its business into two high-level categories, with GPU and Tegra. GPU revenue went down 8% to $ 2.565 million, while Tegra was up 10% to $ 449 million.
Distributing these to the markets, NVIDIA's gaming revenue dropped 6% to $ 1.659 billion, with NVIDIA attributing this to a decline in desktop GPU sales. A year ago, NVIDIA launched its Turing platform, which means that they are now one year into the newest platform, and sales were not as high as when it was launched. However, the sales decline of the desktop GPU was partially offset by increased portable GPUs as well as the gaming platform SoCs.
Professional Visualization set a record for revenue, up 6% from a year ago and reached $ 324 million. NVIDIA has stated that they have had a strong sale of mobile workstation products.
Data Center revenue was down 8% to $ 726 million. NVIDIA has had lower business revenues and sales of products with lower margins than some of their top-tier datacenter products, but this decline was partially offset by increased hyperscale demand.
Automotive revenues were down 6% to $ 162 million, with lower sales of autonomous vehicle solutions and older infotainment modules being highlighted, but growth in AI cockpit solutions helped dampen the decline.
Finally, OEM and other revenues were $ 143 million, down 3% from a year ago.
