Why Nvidia Wants to Sell Chips to China, Answering Intel Objections, KPop Demon Hunters Conquers the World
Nvidia’s $46.7 billion July-quarter sales and $54 billion Q3 guide cannot reveal underlying AI demand while GPU supply remains constrained, while selling H20s into China could prevent a domestic CUDA replacement from spreading globally and weakening Nvidia’s moat.The US 10% Intel stake preserves foundry knowledge that cannot be rebuilt quickly, but dilution and governance risks remain, while rare earths and semiconductor controls show the unresolved tension between economically rational globalization and national-security resilience.
American Disruption, Tech’s Manufacturing History in Asia, The Power of Demand in an Uncertain Future
Blanket tariffs risk raising input costs and weakening US manufacturers, while disorderly Treasury moves could trigger margin calls, basis-trade unwinds and a credit freeze.China’s modular manufacturing ecosystem compounds expertise through shared demand, making full onshoring unviable; targeted schedules and guaranteed purchases could build trusted alternatives, but Taiwan decoupling may increase conflict risk.
The End of DeepSeek Week: Moneyball for AI, The Future of Compute Demand, Geopolitical Reality Checks, and More
DeepSeek is Moneyball for AI: its $6 million V3 figure covered one final run, while mixture-of-experts and low-level optimization delivered efficiency breakthroughs without surpassing the US frontier.Cheaper reasoning models may manufacture training data and expand aggregate compute demand, preserving opportunities in power, networking, cooling, and inference; Microsoft retains optionality as export controls gamble on a durable US lead despite China’s industrial strengths.
