Following Nvidia Corp. reaching a new market capitalization threshold, experts say some Canadian companies and those with large amounts of data are poised to benefit from AI enthusiasm.
Nvidia hit a US$1 trillion market capitalization Tuesday, becoming the first chipmaker to do so. The company produces specialized chips capable of powering AI-related products.
“I think it's shocking that in after-hours [trading] and less than an hour [after the market opened], Nvidia basically from a market cap perspective grew an entire AMD Inc. plus an Intel Corp….on the back of [the] AI and machine learning outlook for the market,” Keith Witek, the chief operating officer at Tenstorrent Inc., said in an interview with BNNBloomberg.ca Tuesday.
