Tips and Tricks News: 17 November 2025

January 9, 2026, 11:42 PM EST. Nvidia has surged more than 1,000% over three years as demand for GPUs powers AI workloads in data centers. The company began as a chip designer, but growth now centers on the data-center segment, which reached about $51.2 billion in fiscal Q3 2026 and is on a ~$200 billion run rate. Hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle have booked capex for Hopper, Blackwell, and Vera Rubin GPUs, sustaining momentum. While chips stay a tailwind, Nvidia could evolve into a broader platform provider, offering infrastructure utilities beyond hardware. Over the next five years, AI workloads may broaden the business beyond chips to software, services, and integrated AI solutions. Key watch points: data-center demand, product cadence, and competitive dynamics.
