Nvidia also highlighted the launch of several key product lines: The GeForce 8m Series GPUs, its Tesla product line focused on high-performance computing, its 650i SLI motherboard selected by Maximum PC Dream Machine 2007, and its G8X-based notebook CPUs. "Our ongoing strategy to extend the reach of the GPU is paying off," said Nvidia president and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. "There is a fast-growing universe of applications that rely on the processing capability of the GPU, from 3D design and styling tools, video and photo editing software, 3D maps, and video games, to the user interfaces of the Mac and Vista."
