The filing argues the collaboration could intensify competition and pricing pressure, leveraging Nvidia's data center GPU leadership and Intel's market position to influence customers and channels. It cautions that an RTX-SoC integration could erode AMD's edge in APUs, including designs for handheld consoles. The document also highlights Intel's aggressive pricing tactics and Nvidia's vast ecosystem, which could press down unit sales and margins. While acknowledging formidable rivals, AMD suggests the partnership may spur faster innovation and more competitive pricing, ultimately benefiting consumers in a dynamic market.

November 8, 2025, 10:00 AM EST. Neurodiverse professionals, including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, are reporting benefits from AI assistants at work. A UK Department for Business and Trade study found neurodiverse employees are 25% more satisfied with AI tools and more likely to recommend them than neurotypical colleagues. Leaders like Tara DeZao of Pega say tools can synthesize meetings into transcripts and extract top themes, while handling notes, scheduling, and internal communication. Generative AI supports time management and executive function, helping neurodivergent workers. Companies investing in AI governance and ethical guardrails see stronger outcomes, potentially boosting revenue and advancing workplace inclusivity.

November 8, 2025, 9:58 AM EST. Dr. Michael Burry returns to bet against Nvidia, signaling a test of timing in the AI era. His use of put options against a stock with potential uncapped losses risks a mismatch if shares keep rising. Nvidia's market cap now sits just over $4.7 trillion, highlighting its pivotal role in the AI boom and the concentration within the Magnificent Seven. If Burry's thesis proves correct, ripple effects could reach passive investors and the broader market; if not, he may cover as he did with the SOXX bet in prior years. The piece also points to longer-term Nvidia bets like NVQLink and other AI growth catalysts.
