translate English to German: The production-chain of a chip involves multiple third-parties: the foundry makes processor wafers, the test-house tests the dies for defects and sorts them based on performance-characterization, and the packager seals individual dies in a hardened case. In terms of inventory management, NVIDIA must place foundry orders months in advance of their planned sale, then hold the produced chips in a warehouse until final delivery.
NVIDIAs Erfolg basiert vor allem auf der Serie der GeForce -Grafikchips, die 1999 zum ersten Mal vorgestellt wurde.
