The board is considering both internal and external candidates. Who has experience in hardware, has led a trillion-dollar company, has deep connections in Asia, and might be available?

It's possible Tim Cook's phone is ringing right now.

It would be interesting if the story unfolded with Jensen going to TSMC [1] and Tim Cook taking over NVIDIA.

It's hard for me to imagine Cook taking over Nvidia unless it was strictly temporary. I get the impression Cook retired because he wanted to relax and enjoy his golden years. But I agree he'd be a good choice to manage the chaos at Nvidia.

		I don’t think Tim Cook would even give the time of the day to the Nvidia board or recruiters. He can bear and hold a grudge for a long time, similar to Steve Jobs. His firing of Scott Forstall and Apple’s dissociation with Nvidia after its GPUs failed in Macs are just two examples. There’s a rumor that Apple’s Johny Srouji may be tapped to be Nvidia’s CEO. But I’m guessing Apple will do whatever it takes to retain him.

		I got the same impression about Cook's retirement. But experience leading a trillion-dollar company is not a credential every executive has. I'm not saying this will happen, just mentioning that it would be interesting to see it happen.
