The Tegra thing is interesting, and I wrote about it in the other thread too.
It is a failure for NVidia in that they launched it as a mainstream mobile phone/tablet part, and it's not used in anything outside the NVidia Shield in that market that I'm aware of (and the Switch of course).
But it has seen success in robotics and self driving cars, because NVidia makes it easy to use and it has great performance.
So it's not obvious how to judge it. Commercially, compared to their initial goals it is probably a failure. But it has opened new markets that didn't exist so that's successful?
