Shares in the company rose another 9% after the fact, taking Nvidia close to a $2.6 trillion market cap, up more than $1.8 trillion in the last 12 months. That's roughly equivalent to adding the value of a New York Times Company ($8B) every 38 hours or a Goldman Sachs (market cap $148B) every single month… for a year.

It's not the growth that is surprising; it's the acceleration that is mind boggling here.

Here is a summary of numbers from their earnings call:

• Revenue $26.04 billion (↑ $7.19 billion y/y) and destroying estimates of $24.69 billion.
• Data center revenue $22.6 billion vs. $4.28 billion y/y, smashing estimates of $21.13 billion.
• Professional Visualization revenue $427 million, +45% y/y, missing estimates of $479.1 million.
• Automotive revenue $329 million, +11% y/y, beating estimates of  $292.4 million.
• Adjusted gross margin 78.9% vs. 66.8% y/y, blowing away estimates of 77%.
• R&D expenses $2.72 billion, +45% y/y, in line with estimate $2.73 billion.
• Adjusted operating expenses $2.50 billion, +43% y/y, in line with estimates of $2.51 billion.
• Adjusted operating income $18.06 billion vs. $3.05 billion y/y, crushing estimates of $16.46 billion.
• Free cash flow $14.94 billion vs. $2.64 billion y/y, estimate $12.29 billion.

The data center revenue is the all important one. As time rolls by, those numbers are expected to accelerate.
