    Huang Renxun's departure from NVIDIA marks the end of the visionary showman founder-CEO era.

    The Verge reports that NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun has left the company he co-founded 33 years ago, following allegations involving two chip smuggling scandals and three extramarital affairs. The article reviews his journey in turning NVIDIA into a company with a market value of $500 billion, betting on technologies like Riva 128 and CUDA, and notes that he has not designated a successor and that about 60 employees report directly to him. Several analysts believe the product roadmap is locked in until 2027, with short-term impacts on stock price rather than business operations, but the key question is whether a successor can continue his long-term investment commitment.

    Why it matters: The article uses Huang Renxun's departure as a starting point to trace his process of shaping NVIDIA through long-term bets like CUDA, and gathers assessments from multiple analysts on the risks of a successor.
