Nvidia’s overall second-quarter revenue for the business unit fell 66% to $140 million from the same quarter last year driven by lower notebook OEM sales.

Nvidia’s total second-quarter revenue was $6.7 billion, meeting estimates of $6.7 billion.
Adjusted earnings per share of 51 cents beat consensus estimates of 50 cents.
