Taalas technology will join AMD's AI roadmap.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones hit highs while the Nasdaq raced above key levels as oil prices and yields fell. Palantir, Cloudflare and SpaceX were big movers amid earings.

Super Micro Computer stock has delivered a very large 5 year gain, yet its recent share price and the latest valuation checks send a more mixed message about how much upside might be left. After a period where the price has fallen 37% over the past year but recovered 11.9% over the past month, investors are weighing that history against what current valuation signals suggest. Over 5 years, Super Micro Computer has returned roughly 7x an initial investment. That makes the current pricing...

AMD just doubled its Data Center revenue and guided for 41% growth, yet the stock slipped and sits nearly $500 below a price target that would make it a trillion-dollar company. The timeline to get there hinges on three things that all need to break right.

NVIDIA's 11% monthly gain is backed by surging AI demand, strong cash flow and a forward P/E below the tech sector average.

AMD slides after beating Q2 estimates, but strong AI and data center growth outlooks may steer investors toward ETFs with meaningful exposure to this chipmaker.

For the past two years, investors have treated artificial intelligence as a technology story. If you wanted exposure to the AI boom, you bought Nvidia (NVDA). Maybe Microsoft. Perhaps Broadcom or AMD. The winners all seemed to make chips, servers, or software. Caterpillar (CAT) just proved that ...

Homegrown companies continue to struggle to access capital and move from research to commercialization

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) said Thursday it will acquire Taalas, a Toronto startup that hardwires entire AI models directly into silicon, for an undisclosed amount. The deal targets inference, the business of running trained models, which AMD projects may grow...

A company known for cyclicality is locking in its future. Micron has signed strategic agreements with customers that include take-or-pay commitments. These 14 contracts alone represent approximately $100 billion in cumulative revenue at a minimum price. This move attempts to build a floor under a historically volatile business.

Nvidia stock has been on a roll ahead of its earnings but AMD's most recent deal could sharpen AI chip competition.

Advanced Micro Devices (NasdaqGS:AMD) agreed to acquire Toronto-based AI chip startup Taalas, aiming to deepen its AI inference offerings. The deal brings Taalas' specialized inference-focused silicon into AMD's product roadmap for enterprise and cloud AI workloads. Taalas' engineering team is expected to join AMD and work on system-level AI inference solutions across future AMD platforms. For readers watching how AI compute is reshaping data centers and broader infrastructure, this move by...

The Toronto-based startup, founded in 2023, has raised $219 million and builds chips hardwired for specific AI models

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Taalas, a specialist in AI inference silicon, aiming to enhance its compute solutions in the dynamic AI inference market. Taalas’ technology, which optimizes inference dataflows to reduce compute and memory bottlenecks, is set to bolster AMD’s AI roadmap by improving inference performance and efficiency. The acquisition will enable AMD to integrate Taalas’ solutions with its existing hardware and software platforms,...

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) just reported the strongest quarter in its 56-year history, and shareholders responded by selling. The chipmaker posted record revenue, more than doubled its data center sales, and raised its outlook above what Wall Street expected. On paper, it was close to a ...

The deal will see AMD integrate Taalas’ technology into its accelerator roadmap and develop system-level solutions with Instinct GPUs.

Broadcom sits at a tollbooth on the AI buildout, and one look at its order book raises a question worth asking: why are so many chip investors still looking elsewhere?

Training a frontier AI model is a one-time event, but running it in production is a recurring bill that never stops, and one chipmaker is quietly positioning itself to own that side of the ledger.

A mix of high expectations, profit-taking, and a slight dip in valuations has sent S&P 500 stocks sputtering even after solid earnings reports.

(Bloomberg) -- China’s AI chip designers are expecting bumper sales this earnings season off the back of Beijing’s push to get local firms to use homegrown components and reduce their reliance on American tech.Most Read from BloombergIran Says Agreement on Hormuz Shipping Reached With OmanOpenAI’s New Device Will Be Hockey Puck-Sized and Cost Over $300Iran Wants to Bar US, Israeli Ships From Hormuz in Peace AccordIshbia’s Mortgage Firm Suffers Record Drop on Dividend HaltWhy Do Data Centers Use

Here is a way to collect an attractive income stream on an AI chip powerhouse now, which you keep no matter what, while lining up a chance to buy the stock at a serious discount if it ever stumbles.

The acquisition adds specialized AI inference technology to AMD’s roadmap as the chipmaker expands its full-stack AI platform beyond GPUs.

Twenty years ago, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) spent the better part of a decade selling processors into a market Intel dominated, waiting for the moment Intel could not keep pace with demand on its own. That moment eventually arrived, and AMD converted patience into real share of the server ...

Advanced Micro Devices said on Thursday it would buy chip startup Taalas for an undisclosed amount, ‌strengthening its technology as it taps into the rapidly growing ‌market for AI inference workloads. Toronto-based Taalas develops specialized silicon designed to reduce computing ​and memory bottlenecks in AI inference, the process of running trained AI models to generate responses or predictions. Specialized inference chips have become a critical focus for semiconductor makers as AI shifts from training to real-time, ‌high-volume deployment, and companies ⁠race to cut computing costs.

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) already sells the chips that train and run the world’s AI models. On July 26, the company made a case for owning a lot more of the design process too, expanding NVIDIA Agent Toolkit for engineering with the PhysicsNeMo and CUDA-X libraries that let software agents run physics simulations, solvers, and even […]

Sandisk's revenue has accelerated sharply in recent quarters, while AMD has grown more steadily—a divergence that narrows the historical gap between these chip-sector heavyweights.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is poised to benefit from the next phase of the AI infrastructure boom. This comes as chip demand expands beyond graphics processing units (GPUs) into central processing units (CPUs) and other data center products. According to a Reuters report on July 23, AMD and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) are negotiating longer-term […]

The handset chip business still supplies most of Qualcomm's revenue, and it is now shrinking year over year on the Android side and stepping down on the Apple side at the same time.
