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

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce NVIDIA's financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended on October 25, 2015. It serves as a notification to investors and the public about the release of this important financial information.

Where can I find the detailed financial results for the quarter?

The detailed financial results, including revenue, profitability, and other key metrics, are not fully detailed within the 8-K itself. Instead, they are provided in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the CFO Commentary (Exhibit 99.2), which are incorporated by reference into this filing.

Are the results presented in this 8-K legally considered 'filed' under SEC regulations?

No, the information furnished in this 8-K filing, including the press release and CFO commentary, is specifically stated as being furnished and shall not be deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or subject to the liabilities of that section. This also applies to Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

What does 'incorporated by reference' mean in this context?

When a document is 'incorporated by reference,' it means that the company is legally treating the contents of that separate document (in this case, the press release and CFO commentary) as if they were part of the 8-K filing itself. This makes the information within those documents accessible and considered part of the official SEC submission, even though they are separate exhibits.
