Nvidia's $63 billion stock portfolio is a map of its own supply chain
The chipmaker's 13F filing shows it now owns big pieces of the companies it sells to, builds with, and depends on
The takeaway: Nvidia's latest 13F reveals a $63.4 billion portfolio of US stocks, and it is very lopsided. Intel and SpaceX account for roughly 80% of it. But the filing's most interesting detail is what didn't happen: seven of the eight positions were untouched last quarter, but the portfolio more than tripled in value anyway.
How "tokenomics" might save AI PCs
AI PCs finally have a reason to exist: cutting your company's AI bill
Nvidia may have just built its own hyperscaler without owning a single data center
The neoclouds are burning cash by the billion. Nvidia just lined up the money to keep them building
Why it matters: Nvidia has quietly assembled every piece of a cloud giant, and it doesn't even need to own the buildings. That is the theory making the rounds, and once you see it laid out, the last two years stop looking like a chip company having a very good run and start looking like a plan. The financing arrangement Nvidia signed this month with BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and four other Wall Street heavyweights, aimed at funneling more than $500 billion of outside capital into AI data centers, would be the last piece clicking into place. Most outlets filed it under the now usual "more AI money" headline, but there is a more interesting read.

SignalTrace says it doesn't identify people, but experts say that claim doesn't hold up
AMD's Helios rack is finally shipping, and it's coming for Nvidia's AI dominance
AMD claims 20% better performance than Nvidia's Vera CPU with new Epyc chips
Nvidia is challenging 20 years of datacenter CPU design with new Vera chip
Nvidia joins the battle of making the CPU interesting again
The big picture: Nvidia lifted the embargo on its Vera CPU deep dive this week, and the disclosure amounts to a direct challenge to two decades of x86 datacenter design philosophy. This is the most detail the company has shared on the chip since it first appeared on the Rubin roadmap, and it confirms something I have suspected for a while: Nvidia is not treating the CPU as an attach story anymore. It is treating it as a battleground with a lot of potential dollars at play.

The Real Reason Nvidia Has Abandoned PC Gamers
Nvidia's shift away from PC gaming wasn't driven by AI alone. Slowing GPU gains, rising manufacturing costs, and longer upgrade cycles made gamers a far less attractive business.
Nvidia RTX Spark CPU is now official: "superchip" will power Windows laptops and desktops
Nvidia wants to make your Windows PC an agentic and creator powerhouse
Why it matters: Nvidia just announced what it calls the most efficient PC chip ever built. RTX Spark is a Grace Blackwell system on a chip, 70 billion transistors on TSMC 3nm, with a Blackwell RTX GPU, a 20-core Arm CPU built with MediaTek, and up to 128GB of unified memory. It is purpose-built for agents, and it runs full RTX gaming and creation on the same thin-and-light laptop. It is a genuinely impressive piece of silicon.
Was Ray Tracing a Scam?
Eight years after Nvidia promised ray tracing would revolutionize gaming, most gamers still disable it. So what happened, and did RTX buyers get sold a fantasy instead of the future?

If Apple built a $299 "Neo" desktop PC, Windows would have a real problem
The MacBook Neo already rattled the PC industry. Now imagine what Apple could do next
Crystal ball: Let's be clear upfront: there is no Mac Neo desktop. No leak, no supply chain rumor, no analyst note. What follows is conjecture – but conjecture worth taking seriously, because the pieces are sitting right there on Apple's workbench.
Everything is becoming agentic, and we're not fully ready for it
The big picture: If you follow tech news, it's impossible to miss how quickly everything is becoming "agentic." AI agents are being folded into major platforms, operating systems, browsers, and just about every category of software. In many ways, the shift is already tangible.

I saw DLSS 5 running across multiple games. It's not a face filter.
Ryan Shrout shares hands-on impressions of DLSS 5 as the internet debates Nvidia's AI graphics overhaul
Sounding off: I went hands-on with Nvidia's DLSS 5 across multiple games at GTC and the "it's just a face filter" isn't the right take. The improvements to shadows, water, foliage, clothing, and even a coffee maker in Starfield are just as impressive as the character enhancements. Here are my full impressions including some details on the dual-GPU demo setup and the developer control story that I think matters quite a bit.
