Nvidia headquarters
Nvidia is based in Santa Clara, California.
  • Nvidia could soon become the world's most valuable company.
  • That's despite the chipmaker being no household name or big consumer brand such as Apple or Amazon.
  • Investors are betting the maker of graphics chips will play a crucial role in the AI revolution.

It's a little weird to think a business that many people have never heard of or bought anything from — and has a name they don't know how to say — could soon become the world's most valuable company.
