Nvidia GTC 2025 was packed with significant announcements and showcased the company's continued dominance in the AI hardware space. However, the event also highlighted potential challenges and shifts in the competitive landscape.

This week, I’ll cover the microprocessor companies I know best and close with my Product of the Week, Microsoft’s Copilot AI. I’m pretty pleased with this implementation, and kudos to whoever came up with this method of getting people like me to use the tool.

Since Microsoft launched Copilot+, the past few months have been a battleground for PC manufacturers. Qualcomm initially had a huge lead, but then AMD and Intel came out with Copilot+ PCs that cut into that advantage.

A popular app from China shook tech markets Monday, sparking fears that the United States may be losing its edge in artificial intelligence. China-based DeepSeek claims to have developed an AI model rivaling ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini — at a fraction of the cost.

An eleventh-hour move by the Biden Administration to regulate how American AI technology is shared with the world is coming under fire from the nation's tech sector.

Standout Tech Products of 2024

Many amazing products launched this year, and we’ll cover some of them. One product stood out well above the rest as revolutionary. What made it particularly special was that it was a bold bet that paid off and helped its manufacturer become one of, and for a time, the most valuable company in the...
