At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.

- This Is AMD's Biggest Hurdle in an AI Sell-Off (and No, It's Not Nvidia)
AMD shares have sold off recently, even though the company has benefited from an AI chip shortage because Nvidia cannot meet all demand. The article argues that valuation is a bigger risk than the AI business, with AMD's P/E at 139 and forward P/E at 72, several times higher than Nvidia, Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor. If AMD's P/E fell to Nvidia's current level, the stock could lose close to 80% of its value. Still, the valuation is seen as more of a threat to the stock than to the company, since data center AI chips made up 58% of AMD's latest-quarter revenue versus almost 93% for Nvidia. The author reduced AMD holdings for diversification but kept a substantial long-term position.
- NVIDIA (NVDA) Deepens AI Infrastructure Push With New Digital Twin And Agent Deals
NVIDIA announced expanded collaborations to accelerate global AI infrastructure and agentic applications across industrial, cloud and consumer settings. NVIDIA and Oracle plan to scale multi-gigawatt AI cloud superclusters using Vera Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs for training, inference and agent workloads. Schneider Electric and AVEVA reported successful pilots of a digital twin built on NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, now deployed at the SINES Data Campus to optimize AI data center operations. NVIDIA also deepened its collaboration with Meta to support high-performance Muse AI agents, with increased infrastructure commitments and optimization efforts. The article notes that these wins do not erase risks analysts already flag, including export controls, in-house accelerators at hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon, and higher component costs.
- This Nvidia chart shows why the AI compute shortage remains acute
Demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, with rental rates for older-generation Nvidia (NVDA) Blackwell and Hopper GPUs still rising, a sign the compute shortage remains acute, according to BCA Research chief economist Peter Berezin. Berezin said he expects an AI capex bust, but probably not until 2028. SK Hynix (SKHY) plans to return a total of $75 billion to shareholders this year through buybacks and dividends, after record third-quarter revenue and operating profit for a sixth straight quarter. Anthropic's IPO prospectus showed first-half 2026 revenue rising to $16.3 billion from $1.1 billion a year earlier, with customers outside the top five making up about 79% of sales, up from 64% in the first quarter. The company had about $131.7 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2026.
- Jensen Huang Says Nvidia's Next-Gen Vera Rubin Chips Will Generate $40 Billion in Revenue per Gigawatt, Up From $25 Billion for Grace Blackwell. What That Means for NVDA's Growth Runway.
Nvidia says its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture could generate about $40 billion in revenue per gigawatt of computing capacity, 60% more than the roughly $25 billion from Grace Blackwell. CEO Jensen Huang said the platform, which combines GPUs, CPUs, NVLink connections, networking and software, lets customers do more computing without a matching increase in electricity use, a key constraint for AI data centers. Vera Rubin has entered production shipments, with purchase orders from major hyperscalers, AI cloud providers and equipment makers. Huang forecasts AI infrastructure spending of $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030 and expects Nvidia to sell twice as many chips in 2027 as in 2026. In the fiscal second quarter ended July 26, Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue, up 106%, including $89 billion from data centers; the $40 billion figure is a potential opportunity rather than guaranteed orders.
- AI bear slams Nvidia's GPU pitch: 'There's not scarcity other than that which is created by Jensen Huang'
Ed Zitron, CEO of PR firm EZPR and a critic of the AI spending boom, says Nvidia (NVDA) is creating the scarcity it sells against. He pointed to a concentrated customer base, with five companies accounting for about 70% of Nvidia's accounts receivable in the first half, and accused Jensen Huang of channel stuffing by pushing GPUs into the channel. He questioned what more data centers deliver, citing a Bloomberg report that Microsoft (MSFT) has about 2 gigawatts of AI compute online out of 12 gigawatts reported. He said OpenAI and Anthropic have become 'load-bearing' for several large companies and, asked what should happen if they falter, replied 'Let them die.' He argued that a rescue would not hold up the market, since it depends on GPU sales continuing to rise at higher prices.
- Nvidia Analyst Warns 45% of AI Data Center Capacity Planned for 2027 May Not Get Built
According to the article, Jay Goldberg, an analyst at Seaport Research Partners, warns that nearly half of the AI data center capacity planned for next year may not be built, which could threaten future demand for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips. He estimates only about 30 gigawatts of the planned total will be built, but the article text is cut off, so further details are unavailable.

- Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed
Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.
