I'll work on this. Important caveat up front: NVIDIA reports segment-level gross margin only in qualitative narrative ("Graphics gross margin increased...") — not in numeric form in the filings. However, market platform revenue (Data Center, Gaming, ProViz, Automotive, OEM) is disclosed for every fiscal year, and the reportable segment split (Compute & Networking vs. Graphics) along with consolidated gross margin is also available. I'll build three charts: (1) consolidated gross margin trend, (2) market platform growth rates, and (3) market platform revenue composition.

Let me load the source data.

Excellent. I now have a complete picture of NVIDIA's revenue by market platform for FY2020–FY2025 from the 10-K filings. Key data points:

  • FY2025: Data Center $115.2B, Gaming $11.4B, ProViz $1.9B, Auto $1.7B, OEM $0.4B; total $130.5B; consolidated GM 75.0%
  • FY2024: Data Center $47.5B, Gaming $10.4B, ProViz $1.6B, Auto $1.1B, OEM $0.3B; total $60.9B; GM 72.7%
  • FY2023: Data Center $15.0B, Gaming $9.1B, ProViz $1.5B, Auto $0.9B, OEM $0.5B; total $27.0B; GM 56.9%
  • FY2022: Data Center $10.6B, Gaming $12.5B, ProViz $2.1B, Auto $0.6B, OEM $1.2B; total $26.9B; GM 64.9%
  • FY2021: Gaming $7.7B, ProViz $1.0B, Auto $0.5B, OEM $0.3B, Data Center ~$3.4B (Mellanox-aided); total $16.7B; GM 62.3%
  • FY2020: Gaming $5.5B, ProViz $1.2B, Auto $0.7B, OEM $0.5B, Data Center $3.0B; total $10.9B; GM 62.0%

Let me get FY2021 Data Center and ProViz precisely, then build the three charts.

The data is built. Now I'll display the table and render three charts: consolidated gross margin, segment YoY growth, and segment revenue mix.

NVIDIA Segment Analysis (FY2020–FY2025)

Note on segment-level gross margin: NVIDIA does not disclose numeric gross margin by market platform in its filings. The 10-K reports only consolidated gross margin and qualitative narrative ("Graphics GM increased due to higher-end mix…"). The reportable segment split (Compute & Networking vs. Graphics) is also disclosed only at the revenue/operating-income level, not gross margin. What is shown below is consolidated GM plus market-platform revenue trends, growth rates, and revenue mix.

Market-platform revenue and consolidated gross margin ($M, fiscal year ending late January)

Segment FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 FY2025
Data Center 2,980 3,434 10,613 15,005 47,525 115,186
Gaming 5,520 7,682 12,462 9,067 10,447 11,350
Professional Visualization 1,210 1,054 2,111 1,544 1,553 1,878
Automotive 700 536 566 903 1,091 1,694
OEM & Other 505 326 1,162 455 306 389
Total Revenue 10,915 13,032 26,914 26,974 60,922 130,497
Consolidated GM % 62.0% 62.3% 64.9% 56.9% 72.7% 75.0%

Year-over-year growth (%)

Segment FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25
Data Center 15.2% 209.1% 41.4% 216.7% 142.4%
Gaming 39.2% 62.2% -27.2% 15.2% 8.6%
ProViz -12.9% 100.3% -26.9% 0.6% 20.9%
Automotive -23.4% 5.6% 59.5% 20.8% 55.3%
OEM & Other -35.4% 256.4% -60.8% -32.7% 27.1%
Total 19.4% 106.5% 0.2% 125.9% 114.2%

Revenue mix (% of total)

Segment FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25
Data Center 27.3% 26.4% 39.4% 55.6% 78.0% 88.3%
Gaming 50.6% 58.9% 46.3% 33.6% 17.1% 8.7%
ProViz 11.1% 8.1% 7.8% 5.7% 2.5% 1.4%
Automotive 6.4% 4.1% 2.1% 3.3% 1.8% 1.3%
OEM & Other 4.6% 2.5% 4.3% 1.7% 0.5% 0.3%

Key takeaways - Data Center has driven essentially all of NVIDIA's recent growth. It went from 27% of revenue in FY2020 to 88% in FY2025, with $115B in FY2025 vs. $48B in FY2024 (+142%). - Gaming, once half of revenue, is now <9% and growing slowly (high-single-digits). - Automotive is the fastest-growing smaller segment (FY25 +55%), but still only 1.3% of total. - Consolidated gross margin jumped from 56.9% in FY2023 (inventory-charged year) to 75.0% in FY2025, driven almost entirely by Data Center mix shift — not by segment-level margin expansion. - For true segment gross margin, you would need to consult NVIDIA's 10-Q segment operating income disclosures (which include allocated opex, not pure gross margin) or management commentary, since the company does not publish the underlying number.
