A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Tech giants including Nvidia, AMD, and Samsung are significantly increasing investments in Asia's semiconductor sector. Nvidia plans $150 billion annually in Taiwan (called the "epicenter" of AI by CEO Jensen Huang), AMD announced a $10 billion investment there, and Samsung is building a $1.5 billion chip testing plant in Vietnam. Asian chip stocks have surged amid a global shortage driven by AI demand, though the crunch is expected to hurt other industries until at least the end of next year.
