The GeForce RTX 50 Series line of GPUs comes equipped with Tensor Cores designed for AI operations capable of achieving up to 3,352 AI TOPS or Trillion Operations Per Second. Such a large number indicates they can handle complex math for AI tasks like real-time rendering and intelligent assistants.

Broadcom (AVGO), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) stocks are the top three artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to buy now and into 2026.

Nvidia's 600,000-part systems and global supply chain make it the only viable choice for trillion-dollar AI buildouts.

With its Blackwell architecture well established on AI data centers, cloud services, workstations, and desktop/laptop PCs, Nvidia’s CES 2026 press event is likely to focus less on new launches. Rather,

All three chipmakers outsource much of their manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor.

By acquiring the developer of Slurm, Nvidia is strengthening its influence over how AI workloads are scheduled across GPUs and data center networks.

The new NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72GB Blackwell GPU is here, accelerating local AI with 50% more VRAM than the existing RTX PRO 5000 model.

Nvidia boomed again in the 2010s when people realized that its GPUs were also extremely good at cryptocurrency mining. Cryptocurrency miners relied on the same PC-focused GPUs as gaming, and both growth drivers were included in the company's gaming segment, which was historically the bulk of revenue. However, things have changed.

Nvidia stock traded higher on Tuesday, extending a three-day rally as renewed speculation over a potential resumption of GPU sales to China lifted sentiment around US chipmakers.
