- Nvidia just announced its Q1 fiscal 2027 results
- This came with a change in the way GPU sales are reported
- They won’t be detailed separately any more, but buried in another category — Edge Computing — and there are reasons to be nervous
Nvidia is flying with the revelation of its latest financial results, hitting a record-breaking quarter. But hidden among the trumpeting of success there was a move which I find somewhat disturbing regarding Team Green’s gaming GPUs.
Tom’s Hardware noticed that aside from the record revenue in Q1 fiscal 2027 – which hit a staggering $81 billion – Nvidia is making a change to the way the company reports its financials going forward.
From this quarter and in the future, Nvidia won’t separately report sales of client graphics cards, meaning consumer (GeForce) and professional (RTX Pro and others) GPUs. Instead, sales of those graphics solutions will be absorbed into another bigger category: Edge Computing.
So, Nvidia will have just two main categories with its financial reports: Data Center (which encompasses cloud, AI and supercomputing) and Edge Computing (which is PCs, workstations, consoles, as well as robotics, automotive and telecoms). We won’t get a breakdown of sales of graphics solutions at all.
Analysis: shifting priorities
All this sounds mightily dull, of course, so why does it matter to gamers? And why might it worry them, more…
