One thing that's widely understood is the artificial intelligence revolution is still in its infancy, and Nvidia is the go-to company for what's needed to run AI workloads. Microsoft : "We expect capital expenditures to increase on a sequential basis, given our cloud and AI demand signals," CFO Amy Hood said. Put another way, can the world's most valuable company, at nearly $3.6 trillion, get even more valuable? On current numbers, Nvidia is trading at about 37x calendar year 2025 earnings estimates.

☆ The two words Apple never mentioned at its iPhone 16 event

New York CNN —Apple is wedging AI into its phones like a new U2 album no one asked for. However, given the “Apple Intelligence” highlights the company previewed in June and officially rolled out Monday, investors and customers alike may want to temper their expectations. Even Apple seemed to hedge a bit: It never mentioned the words “artificial intelligence.”The new tools look … fine. Munster expects iPhone sales will exceed Wall Street’s estimates in the coming quarters. The always image-conscious Apple knows better than to fall into the “AI” trap, even if its whole pitch for the new iPhone is AI.

Early industry testing of the Privacy Sandbox tools designed to emulate online targeting produced fairly dire results. Google won't escape regulatory scrutinyIt's unclear whether keeping cookies would allow Google to shake off regulators' grasp of its Privacy Sandbox. In 2022, Google pledged to give the UK's Competition and Markets Authority oversight of its Privacy Sandbox rollout and Chrome cookie removal. A key question now is whether Google's commitments to the CMA need to change now that third-party cookies remain in the mix. And there isn't a clear answer about the future governance of the Privacy Sandbox, to ensure Google doesn't preference its own ad products.

On Monday, the longtime Club holding unveiled its long-awaited generative AI initiatives, known as Apple Intelligence. It means that Apple's new AI tools should be able to boost lagging iPhone sales, which make up roughly half of the company's overall revenue. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which were released last year, are the only versions of the smartphone currently compatible with Apple Intelligence. "Even if iPhone 15 users don't upgrade right away, they now have a very good reason to do it sooner than they otherwise would have.

There's mounting evidence of how serious Apple is about artificial intelligence, Jim Cramer said Tuesday, pointing to a Wall Street Journal report about the tech giant developing AI data center chips. "This is the beginning of what I regard as the Apple offense on AI." He also reiterated his Apple stock mantra: "Own it, don't trade it." Following a 48% gain last year and an all-time just under $200 per share back in December, Apple shares fell on hard times. Jim suggested Tuesday that Apple investors will be rewarded for their patience once management fully unveils their forthcoming AI strategy.

But giving some away duts the size of the position in a portfolio and skirts capital gains taxes. Those stocks are up more than 200% and 62%, respectively, this year, and are good candidates for some charitable giving, she said. Investors are encouraged to get to know the charitable giving deduction. Investors can also simplify their charitable giving by making direct gifts of appreciated assets to a donor-advised fund.

The new silicon includes Qualcomm's X Elite chip for PCs and laptops and the Snapdragon Series 8 Gen 3 for high-end Android phones. The speed at which a smartphone chip processes AI models could represent a new feature battleground between high-end Android phones from companies such as Asus, Sony and OnePlus versus Apple's iPhones, which are also getting new AI features on an annual basis. Now, Qualcomm said, its smartphone chip can handle the bigger AI models used in generative AI — as many as 10 billion parameters. That's still less than some of the biggest AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT3, which has about 175 billion parameters. Qualcomm executives said these kinds of AI models can run on devices if the chips are fast enough and equipped with enough memory.
