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 CEO Still Plans to Sell High-End Chips in China

SINGAPORE—Nvidia’s CEO said he still hopes to supply high-end processors to China, days after U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned U.S. companies against sales of AI-enabling chips to the country in the name of national security. “Our plan now is to continue to work with the U.S. government to come up with a new set of products to comply with the new regulations,” Jensen Huang told reporters in Singapore Wednesday. “The new regulations have additional limits. We have to come up with new products to comply with those regulations.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

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.

How Long Can the ‘Magnificent Seven’ Stocks Hold the Line?

As in the eponymous 1960s Western, the so-called “Magnificent Seven” stocks keep on winning. This also means investors are betting the farm on just a handful of bullets hitting their targets.The S&P 500 is in a bull market, fueled by soft inflation data in the U.S. and Europe and the widespread belief that interest rates will start coming down early next year. Yet the stock market has become so top-heavy that speaking of a “bull market” carries less meaning than before. Without Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Nvidia, Tesla and Meta Platforms—the high-growth, technology-related companies that analysts have dubbed the “Magnificent Seven”—the S&P 500 would only be up 9% this year, rather than 19%. Some 44% of stocks in the index are down this year.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones &a...
