I think employees should receive as much compensation as possible.
Jensen Huang, the Nvidia CEO, responded this way when asked recently about the performance bonus system in Samsung Electronics' semiconductor institutional sector.
On the 2nd at the Grand Hyatt Taipei in Taiwan, Huang was asked at a global media roundtable for his views on Samsung Electronics' performance bonuses and profit-sharing program and said, "Because I am not an expert in this field, it is not appropriate to evaluate a particular 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, labor and management at Samsung Electronics agreed on a plan to use 10.5% of operating profit in the semiconductor (DS) institutional sector as funds for special management performance bonuses. SK hynix also operates a profit-sharing (PS) system linked to operating profit.
Nvidia is known as a corporation with a high proportion 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, "The 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, the MediaTek CEO, also attended the event.
Huang presented "agentic computing" as the key shift in the AI industry. He said, "Future computing will evolve in 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 a chip (SoC). Huang said, "We are redesigning the PC," explaining, "The PC of the future will not be a simple tool but an agent system that helps the user."
He also explained why Nvidia is entering the PC market. Huang said, "The reason we create new products is not to take someone's market share," adding, "It is to create a new market that did not previously exist."
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 the user's commands into an agent that performs tasks on its own."
In the industry, many expect that as Nvidia expands in earnest from AI data centers to the AI PC market, demand for high-performance memory will also increase. In particular, with the spread of On-device AI, there is a possibility that demand will rise for low-power memory such as LPDDR.
