DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-11-13
Cloud analyst David Linthicum weighs in on Nvidia's leadership transition, telling Fierce Network that Jensen Huang has been central to Nvidia's identity and the AI infrastructure boom, so his departure creates uncertainty that lets competitors into conversations where buyers previously defaulted to Nvidia.
