Key takeaways
- NVDA AMD In recent years, everyone has been talking about graphics processing units (GPUs).
- Though Nvidia dominates the market, AMD is also present here and has benefited from this AI story.
- In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia.
NVDA AMD In recent years, everyone has been talking about graphics processing units (GPUs). That's because these are the chips that power crucial artificial intelligence (AI) tasks like the training of large language models. Companies with expertise here saw their revenue soar. Two perfect examples are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD).
Though Nvidia dominates the market, AMD is also present here and has benefited from this AI story. Now, however, another type of chip is emerging as a key player in AI. And that's the central processing unit (CPU) -- these are the main processors you'll find in every computer. As agentic AI emerges, it's become clear that the CPU might be the star. Agentic AI involves AI actually taking the steps, on behalf of humans, to solve a problem or problems. And the CPU offers exactly the kind of fuel needed to guide this process.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
