NVIDIA has initiated discussions with its supply chain regarding the material set and has since switched production to a more robust dye and package material set.
"Although the failure appears related to the combination of the interaction between the chip material set and system design, we have a responsibility to our customers and will take our part in resolving this problem," said president and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
Huang claims that the GPU is one of the most complex processors in the system, and vowed the company will now work more closely with notebook system designers and chip foundries to ensure that the GPU and the system are designed collaboratively for the best performance and robustness.
"This has been a challenging experience for us. However, the lessons we've learned will help us build far more robust products in the future, and become a more valuable system design partner to our customers," Huang added.
The manufacturer also revealed that its revenue this quarter is now estimated to be between £440 million to £477.6 million. In May, the company was expecting to see revenue of around £575 million this quarter.
