Nvidia Corp. reported its third quarter revenues of $1.23 billion and has recorded $3.43 billion for the first three quarters of the year, a record for the company.

Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of Nvidia, said in a statement that growth has “kicked in for us on several fronts.” These include high performance computing, virtualization and Web service providers that have created demand for GPU-accelerated datacenter platforms.
