In February, as cryptocurrency prices spiked, Nvidia released new cards specifically for mining crypto.

Nvidia booked $155 million in revenue from crypto mining cards in the first quarter.

But Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang talks about the new product line not as an exciting frontier for the company, but as a bone thrown to cryptocurrency obsessives to protect gamers. As it turns out, gaming processors — Nvidia's original and core business — are still its most important, generating $2.76 billion in revenue, an increase of 106% from last year.

"What we hope is that the CMPs will satisfy the miners and will stay in the professional mines," and the product "protects" graphics cards supply for gamers, Huang said on a call with analysts. Huge demand for GeForce graphics cards was the primary reason Nvidia sales soared in the first quarter, rising 84% to $5.66 billion, beating both Wall Street's and the company's own expectations.It's possible that there's simply massive demand for PC gaming, partially accelerated due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as a worldwide shortage of microchip manufacturing capacity.

But it wants to untangle the question. Nvidia is starting to add software to its gaming cards to make mining more difficult.
