The Omniverse and Metaverse story aligns perfectly with a more significant Data Center division. And it helps Nvidia has been pushing for Data Center growth over the last several years, well before the Mellanox acquisition was announced in 2019, because the company is ahead of the curve needed in the tech industry to be ready for metaverse demands.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce95b60f491febf2a5cc611f983de1a3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"371\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: Chart mine, data from Nvidia's Quarterly Press Releases)</span></p>\n<p>These are all great reasons why Nvidia is performing well on the business front and will continue to do so.
