Pretty interesting seeing $TSLA and $SPCX sell off after Democrats swept Congress while odds of a merger have barely budged and are still at 75% likelihood.
$INTC CEO Lip-Bu Tan bought another $10M of stock at $65 just days after Intel’s worst trading day since 1974 which adds to $10M he already purchased at $95 in August.
He’s averaging down into the selloff while Intel’s data center and foundry businesses are growing 78% and 58% even as rising memory costs weigh on PC demand.
$QCOM says its custom AI accelerators started shipping in October with $AMZN AWS connectivity ramps this month and Dragonfly remains on track for $META in 2028.
This is Qualcomm moving beyond smartphone chips into hyperscaler revenue with a target of $15B+ in data center sales by FY29.
$AMD CEO Lisa Su highlighted that $META Muse reached 10M activations in just six weeks showing how quickly personal AI agents are gaining traction.
Huge for AMD because each agent runs on an EPYC-powered virtual machine with 2 vCPUs and 8GB of RAM turning consumer adoption into a new source of server CPU demand.
$AMD says $META , $MSFT , ORCL, ANT and OpenAI are now running workloads on Helios as data center revenue nearly doubled to a record $8.5B.
Every AI agent needs a GPU to think and a CPU to act and AMD is only company ramping both a leading standalone x86 server CPU and rack-scale AI GPUs with Venice and Helios scaling together into Q4.
$IREN and $CIFR.US : Good points by Jim regarding Texas going blue. I agree that the Ai buildout will ultimately be allowed to continue in Texas!
But I would add the caveat that there may be interim pressure and risk for Texas-exposed Ai companies until Governor Hinojosa issues a concrete regulatory directive that the market can price in
