Has Nvidia had any success at all in mobile? At least Intel has managed to get some Atom chips in some obscure Dell tablets and Asus mobile phones.
I'm very curious about this - Nvidia's whole mobile business looks like a flop and Huang's circumspect dismissal of it sounds like sour grapes to me.

In recent years, Google Pixel C, Nexus 9, Nexus 7 (2012), that Project Tango tablet, and Nvidia's own Shield devices (TV, tablets, handheld). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra
Not the best-selling lineup, but a fair amount of developer mind-share thanks to Google's penchant for Nvidia SoCs and Nvidia's own outreach.
Delivering good chips for mobile use? Yes. Tegra chips have been showing good results in benchmarks.
But making money out of them? Not so much. The whole mobile chip industry became a race to the bottom (with prices) many years ago and most companies in the business are struggling as Samsung and Apple make their own chips and the rest of the market isn't worth a lot of money.
