Intel is dying, AMD has fully taken their place as the king of CPUs. They are good for hardware but suck with software. Right now their GPUs and are basically only successful in Gaming systems. NVidia is just furthering their lead with consumer GPUs and AI training. Large scale training clusters it's Nvidia or nothing. And those are only getting bigger and bigger, since as of yet there has been no evidence that training scale doesn't lead to better results....

The issue with them is their software and drivers. As of right now they are the only real alt to NVidia though. Tenstorrent will be a true competitor eventually with Jim Keller leading them. But they're private so...

Wait till the tariffs are applied. I believe that is what the Fed chair was alluding to.
There is no reason to cook employment numbers if they are adjusted…lmao
 
Tomorrow…
Core personal consumption MoM and YoY
“After publishing the GDP report, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis releases the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data alongside the monthly changes in Personal Spending and Personal Income. FOMC policymakers use the annual Core PCE Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, as their primary gauge of inflation. A stronger-than-expected reading could help the USD outperform its rivals as it would hint at a possible hawkish shift in the Fed’s forward guidance and vice versa”.

Also Congress is trying to pass a spending bill. Musk and Trump want a government shutdown. We had a deal to keep the government open until March. I believe there are enough Republicans to pass a bill. Imo we should eliminate the debt limit. This drama every few months is bullshyt.
