Will Smartphones Lead NVIDIA to Gains in 2013?

While NVIDIA didn't have tremendous gains in its share price in 2012, the company still performed admirably. Consider its performance versus rival AMD, for example: AMD saw sales plunge 25% last quarter while NVIDIA grew sales 13%.

Can NVIDIA use Tegra gains in smartphones next year to offset PC weakness? In the video below, Motley Fool senior technology analyst Eric Bleeker takes a look at three areas that will determine NVIDIA's success in smartphones -- not just across 2013, but the years ahead.
