AMD’s Piece of the AI Pie Will Need to Prove Sticky

Advanced Micro Devices has been defying the odds for years now. So it isn’t a great stretch to imagine the chip maker doing so again. The company more commonly known as AMD long competed primarily against Intel for a small slice of the personal computer and server markets. AMD’s fortunes began to brighten about five years ago thanks to smart design decisions, plus technological stumbles by its much larger rival. AMD now generates more than four times the annual revenue that it did in 2017; Intel’s business has shrunk by 16% in that same time. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Nvidia’s Rivals Prepare Their AI Assault

Nvidia was never going to have the artificial intelligence market all to itself. The past year has certainly made it seem that way, though. Nvidia’s sales have more than doubled—and its market value more than tripled—as major tech companies snapped up the company’s chips to capitalize on the explosive interest in generative AI sparked by the launch of the ChatGPT online chatbot a year ago. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, two of Nvidia’s largest competitors, have seen their data-center sales shrink lately as the tech giants operating those networks have redirected their spending toward Nvidia’s specialized chip platforms. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Fed Pause Helps Treasury Yields Retreat and Stocks Climb

Many investors on Wednesday looked to the Federal Reserve for hints about whether this autumn’s unusual ascent in Treasury yields would help finish America’s inflation fight. The central bank’s message: maybe. In the tug of war between low-risk government debt and higher-risk equities, that was enough of a signal to push stocks higher Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7%, or 222 points, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 1.6%. The S&P 500 increased 1.1%, led by the information-technology and communication services sectors. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
