Picture the bustling world of U.S. stock markets, and right in the spotlight is Nvidia, the trailblazing chip maker. Early on a Tuesday morning, there's an electrifying buzz surrounding Nvidia's stock. Why? Because this company is on the cusp of another upward move following its Thursday earnings report.

You see, Nvidia is a big deal in the realm of artificial intelligence. It's like the forefront runner benefiting the most from this tech explosion. And as the sun rises, the expectations for Nvidia's quarterly results rise with it. Investors are feeling pretty optimistic about what's in store.

Now, let's talk about Nvidia's remarkable journey in 2023. Imagine its stock shooting up by a whopping 180% in a single year. That's like a complete turnaround story right there. How did this happen? Well, it's all about Nvidia's graphics cards, which have transformed from just graphics tools to the central driving force of a revolution. These cards are now the backbone for training AI models, and this excitement is like jet fuel for Nvidia's stock.

In the world of technology, Nvidia is like a poster child for adaptability and innovation. This company knows how to roll with the changes. The AI wave is like a stage, and Nvidia's performance on that stage is nothing short of impressive. It's like they've been waiting for this moment, and they're giving it their all.

But hold on a second. Even in the midst of all this excitement, there's a hint of uncertainty lingering in the air. Analysts are swirling in a whirlwind of guesses and forecasts as the big day approaches. But let's be real – no one really knows what's going to happen until that report is out.

Intel is looking to develop a new chip for their notebooks. The chip will combine the Intel CPU with the AMD graphics processor. The result is a chip that is small in size and lightweight yet is capable of delivering top of the line graphics for the most demanding of video games.

What seems like an obvious collaboration has not occurred since the 1980's. In fact, the two companies have been bitter competitors for years. They have battled fiercely for control of the market for PC processors. This advantage has admittedly gone to Intel for the majority of that time.

However, Intel is watching that advantage being challenged by NVidia. They have continued to be the producer of the leading graphic cards while developing the AI end of their business. This development of the AI end of things has had no effect on the core product of graphics cards.

Zenuity, a new partnership between Volvo and Autoliv, has exciting plans to develop software geared toward a self- driving automobile. Utilizing the Drive PX Al technology by Nvidia, Zenuity hopes to enter these vehicles into the sales arena by 2021.

This may seem like a lofty ambition, but self-driving cars powered by Nvidia's Drive PX are already being tested on the road today. Volvo and Autoliv's new joint venture will base their software advances on the technological foundation created by Nvidia AI tech. They hope this will speed up realization of a self-driving car that is available commercially.

While Volvo's efforts can be uniquely theirs, Autoliv can legally offer the software involved to others in the industry. Nvidia's Senior Director of Automotive on call believes the future holds beneficial collaborative efforts in the industry, and recognizes and acknowledges the technological rewards of utilizing the advances of Nvidia Al tech.
