Geographical Presence and Sectoral Breakdown

With a global footprint, Nvidia's sales are geographically distributed with the United States accounting for 30.7%, Taiwan 25.9%, China 21.5%, and other regions collectively contributing 21.9%. Such a vast market presence underscores Nvidia's influence and the significance of its recent stock market performance against Amazon.

Nvidia's latest financial achievements highlight the company's successful expansion and innovation in the tech sector. Its confrontation with Amazon for a spot in the market cap rankings underscores the competitive nature of the tech industry and the continual shift in market leader dynamics.
