0:00.0	What is NVIDIA's next big growth lever? You're listening to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing.
0:07.0	Welcome to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. My name is John Quast, and I'm joined today by Foolish contributors, Rachel Warren and Matt Frankel.
0:18.0	And we have a couple of things to talk about on the show today. We're going to talk
0:20.8	about passive investing. We're going to talk about a deal in the home builder market. But first,
0:25.8	we're going to talk about the bell of the ball, and that is Nvidia. Invidia over the weekend in
0:31.9	Taipei, having a conference event where they announced many things as they are want to do. But one of the big
0:39.2	announcements coming out from Nvidia over the weekend was its new Vera CPU. Now, I know full well

1:29.0	with an arm architecture-based CPU designed by a company called MediaTech, which NVIDIA's partnering on to make this.
1:35.8	It's clearly designed to handle AI workloads better than the processors that you see from Intel and AMD,
1:41.9	which own over 90% of the market today.
1:44.9	Invidia claims, for example, it's going to deliver RtX class gaming,
1:48.4	which is, you know, the high-end gaming PCs that you probably see in Best Buy and things like that.
