Meta , Snap and Google all reported first-quarter results this week, with revenue growth that exceeded analysts estimates and at rates not seen in at least two years.

Braithwaite, who worked at Intel in the 1980s, said Intel's process engineers were the company's "crown jewels." Intel doesn't have a GPU competitor to Nvidia's AI accelerators, but it has an AI chip called Gaudi 3. For comparison, AMD expects about $2 billion in annual AI chip revenue.

☆ Apple reports next week. Here's a no-cost options trade to capitalize on a possible earnings bounce

Big tech earnings reports have put investors on quite the roller coaster. Alphabet , Microsoft and Tesla have all moved higher post earnings, while Meta and IBM had opposite reactions by dropping precipitously. Inside of this recent technology, I think it is time to add to a nearly forgotten Magnificent Seven laggard: Apple . Apple is down 11% year to date, and I want to add exposure in a zero-cost manner ahead of its earnings release next Thursday. Investors are anticipating a year-over-year decline in both earnings and revenue for this former tech favorite, but I believe this is already priced into the stock.

The comment appears to show his skepticism of the potential success of a product like Apple's Vision Pro. While Meta's Quest virtual reality headset competes with Apple's Vision Pro, Zuckerberg has said before that he doesn't imagine a future of people walking around with virtual reality headsets. Zuckerberg isn't the one executive at the tech giant to drag the Apple Vision Pro.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday told investors he's confident in the success of Apple 's Vision Pro and sees uses for the product outside the consumer space. But Cramer argued that recent reported weakness about the prosperity of the Vision Pro does not hold weight.

At Nvidia 's conference last month, he was impressed by how the company's technology worked with the Vision Pro. And with digital twin technology, he suggested the Vision Pro could be a boon for the industrial sector.

Apple saw sales of its iPhones fall 19.1% in the first three months of the year, Counterpoint's data showed, as Chinese telecommunications and consumer electronics giant Huawei saw a resurgence in its smartphone business. The Shenzhen, China-based firm saw sales of its smartphones surge a whopping 69.7% in the first quarter, Counterpoint said. Starting in 2019, the U.S. slapped sanctions on Huawei in an effort to stop it from accessing such technology, nearly wiping out Huawei's smartphone business.

Read previewSome tech devotees already seem to be losing interest in Apple's Vision Pro just months after the futuristic headset hit the market. That's bad news for Apple, which spent eight years and billions of dollars creating the Vision Pro. Apple has seemingly responded to the growing disinterest by boosting marketing around the device, evidenced by the Vision Pro's prime placement on the company's website. The Vision Pro requires its wearer to attach a battery, start the device, and move through its interface each use. BI's Jordan Hart foresaw some of those issues back in February, writing that she was running out of reasons to wear the Vision Pro after just one week.
