How Jensen Huang found the chipmaker that saved Nvidia in an old phone book

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has revealed how the company’s 30-year partnership with TSMC began. Speaking to podcaster Lex Fridman, Huang said he found TSMC’s number in the Yellow Pages in the late 1990s, but nobody returned his calls. A lengthy letter to founder Morris Chang finally prompted a phone call one evening, leading to a Taiwan visit and a deal that runs without a contract.
