What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially announce and provide access to NVIDIA's financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, which ended on July 28, 2013. It includes the official press release and CFO commentary detailing the company's performance.

Where can I find the specific financial numbers (revenue, profit, etc.) for the quarter?

The specific financial numbers are not detailed within the body of the 8-K filing itself. Investors need to refer to the attached exhibits: Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (CFO Commentary), which are incorporated by reference.

Who is Karen Burns and what is her role?

Karen Burns is identified as the Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of NVIDIA. Her commentary (Exhibit 99.2) provides management's insights and analysis of the second quarter financial results.

Why are the press release and CFO commentary 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

Press releases and CFO commentaries accompanying earnings reports are typically 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. This means they are made public through the SEC filing but are not subject to the same liability provisions under Sections 18, 11, and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933 as if they were formally 'filed' documents. This is a standard practice for publicly released earnings information.
