NVIDIA posts record $81.6B quarter as GeForce NOW gets 007 First Light bundle

NVIDIA reported record first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $81.6 billion, up 20% from the prior quarter and 85% from a year earlier. Gross margin held near 75%, earnings beat expectations, and the company returned a record $20 billion to shareholders through repurchases and dividends. Management also said the board approved an additional $80 billion share repurchase authorization on May 18. techpowerup.com hothardware.com

The data center business remained the clear growth engine, with revenue of $75.2 billion in the quarter. NVIDIA said AI factory buildouts are accelerating rapidly, and separate coverage noted that gaming is now folded into a broader Edge Computing segment rather than reported as its own line item. tweaktown.com tweaktown.com

On the consumer side, NVIDIA is bundling 007 First Light with GeForce NOW Ultimate memberships as a bonus Steam copy, timed ahead of the game’s May 27 release. The service update also adds new supported titles, including Forza Horizon 6 for cloud play. Separately, NVIDIA’s latest driver bulletin flags high-severity Windows and Linux security flaws affecting GeForce RTX and other product lines, with fixes in Game Ready Driver 596.36 or newer. neowin.net tweaktown.com

The AI hardware story is also getting more expensive. Coverage of NVIDIA’s coming Vera Rubin NVL72 rack says memory now accounts for 26% of system cost, up sharply from 9% in Grace Blackwell racks, while another report says the company’s Vera CPUs are in full production and being delivered to customers such as OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic, and Oracle. fudzilla.com fudzilla.com

What are NVIDIA agent skills?

NVIDIA agent skills are portable instruction sets that teach AI agents how to use NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, AI Blueprints, and platform tools correctly. NVIDIA-verified skills published in the NVIDIA/skills GitHub repo are: Cataloged and synced daily from the NVIDIA product team that owns it Scanned for software and agent-native risks before publication Signed with a detached skill.oms.sig that can be verified post-download Documented with a skill card describing ownership, dependencies, limitations, and verification status Evaluation is the next layer. It will add standardized quality metri

Can a start-up really launch a new GPU?

There’s a logic to Bolt’s approach. Nvidia and AMD are focused on AI, but GPUs are still useful for many tasks besides AI. However, Bolt will need to overcome two key technical hurdles. The first is production. Cutting-edge silicon production is in short supply and leaders like Nvidia have most leading-edge production capacity tied up. The Zeus GPU will instead be fabricated on TSMC’s older N5 process node. Bolt is betting that an older process node will keep Zeus competitive with Nvidia on price. Bolt may also find it challenging to convince users that an unproven GPU is a safe bet. Driver su

How does an agent skill become verified?

An NVIDIA-verified skill starts in a source repository owned by a product team. From there, it moves through a publishing flow that can include both human review and automated policy checks, followed by scanning, evaluation, generation of the skill card, signing, cataloging, and synchronization into the public catalog.  Each verified skill is paired with a skill card, a machine-readable trust record that explains the following:  What the skill does Who built the skill  How is the skill licensed What are the skill dependencies   What are the known technical limitations, risks, and mitigatio

How do verified skills bring trust to the skill layer?

NVIDIA already embeds trust in agent systems through the NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails library, covering control, privacy, and policy-based guardrails. Resources such as NVIDIA OpenShell and NVIDIA NemoClaw focus on how agents run: sandboxed execution, controlled access to files and networks, and policy enforcement around sensitive actions.  Verified skills extend this AI governance to agent capabilities. Runtime controls help govern agent behavior during execution. Verified skills govern capabilities that enter the workflow and become a common way to extend trust agents across coding tools, registri
