I think employees should receive as much compensation as possible.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia chief executive officer (CEO), gave this answer when asked recently about Samsung Electronics' semiconductor institutional sector bonus system.
On the 2nd, at a global media roundtable held at the Grand Hyatt Taipei in Taiwan, Huang was asked for his view on Samsung Electronics' bonuses and profit-sharing program and said, "I am not an expert in this field, so it is not appropriate to evaluate a specific company's system," but added, "Personally, I want employees to receive as much compensation as possible."
He added, "Ask my employees. I actually do that."
Recently, management and labor at Samsung Electronics agreed to use 10.5% of the semiconductor (DS) institutional sector's operating profit as the funding source for a special management performance bonus. SK hynix also runs a profit-sharing (PS) program linked to operating profit.
Nvidia is known as a corporations with a high share of stock-based compensation, such as restricted stock units (RSUs), rather than cash compensation. Huang also emphasized the importance of sharing performance that day, saying, "A company's success is possible thanks to employees' contributions."
The roundtable was arranged to explain the AI PC strategy and next-generation computing vision unveiled in the Computex 2026 keynote the day before. Rick Tsai, MediaTek chief executive officer (CEO), also attended.
Huang presented "agentic computing" as the key change in the AI industry. He said, "Future computing will evolve into a way where AI agents understand, reason, plan, and act," adding, "This computing pattern will expand not only to data centers but also to personal PCs and laptops."
To that end, Nvidia is working with Microsoft and MediaTek to develop the AI PC platform "RTX Spark" and the N1X system-on-chip (SoC). Huang explained, "We are redesigning the PC," and "The PC of the future will not be a simple tool but an agent system that helps users."
He also offered an explanation for why Nvidia is entering the PC market. Huang said, "The reason we make new products is not to take someone's market share," adding, "It is to create a new market that did not exist before."
He added, "What matters is not whether margins are high or low, but whether we can redefine the PC, humanity's most important tool, for the AI era," and "The PC of the future will evolve from a tool that waits for users' commands into an agent that performs tasks on its own."
In the industry, with Nvidia expanding in earnest from AI data centers to the AI PC market, demand for high-performance memory is also expected to increase. In particular, as On-device AI spreads, there is a possibility that demand will grow for low-power memory such as LPDDR.
