    These 2 AI Chip Stocks Will Outperform Nvidia Over the Next 5 Years

    • Nvidia is the dominant player in AI infrastructure, but its size could limit some of its upside.

    • AMD and Broadcom, meanwhile, have huge opportunities.

    • Given their smaller sizes, the stocks have the potential to outperform Nvidia in the coming years.

    • 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices ›

    Nvidia is the undisputed king of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The company has a dominant share in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market, where its chips provide the processing power necessary to run AI workloads. Its CUDA software platform has helped create a wide moat, giving the company over 90% market share in the GPU space.

    That said, Nvidia has become a mammoth company, recently hitting a $4 trillion market cap. As such, it now faces the law of large numbers. It can keep growing, but it will get more difficult to keep up the same pace.

    That’s why the stocks of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) could outperform the GPU leader over the next five years. Both have smaller revenue bases to work from and big potential tailwinds.

    AMD, as the company is also known, has been seeing strong revenue growth, but its AI opportunity could just be getting started. While it’s still a distant second to Nvidia in GPUs, it has been able to carve out a niche in AI inference.

    On its last earnings call, AMD said that one of the largest AI model companies in the world is using its GPUs to run a significant chunk of its daily inference workloads. Major cloud providers have been using its chips to run search, recommendation engines, and generative AI tasks. The company’s ROCm software platform still trails CUDA, but it’s generally considered good enough when it comes to inference.

    The reason the stock can outperform, though, largely comes down to size. Nvidia’s data center revenue hit $39.1 billion last quarter, while AMD’s was just $3.7 billion. It doesn’t have to take massive share from the leader to see explosive growth, as even modest wins can make a big impact.

    AMD is also a leader in data center central processing units (CPUs), where it has gained meaningful share against Intel. CPUs act as the brains of the operation, so as AI workloads expand, demand for high-performance CPUs will also grow.

    Meanwhile, the UALink Consortium which was formed by AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and others, is looking to challenge Nvidia’s NVLink and its proprietary interconnects. It wants to develop an open standard for high-speed, low-latency interconnects for AI accelerators in data centers. If successful, it could erode one of Nvidia’s biggest advantages and open the door for companies to use clusters of multiple vendors. That would be huge for AMD.

  • Emojis boost relationship satisfaction, study reveals

    Emojis boost relationship satisfaction, study reveals

    Emojis serve as modern digital tools that enhance text-based communication by adding emotional and visual context. Rooted in long-standing interpersonal practices, they help compensate for the lack of nonverbal cues in online interactions.

    Research shows that women and younger people use emojis more frequently. According to the Social Information Processing Theory and the Hyperpersonal Model, emojis play a crucial role in fostering deeper online relationships by facilitating expressive, emotionally nuanced communication that can sometimes surpass face-to-face interactions.

    However, their impact isn’t always positive. Emojis can introduce ambiguity, especially in contexts like sarcasm or intimate conversations, where meanings may be misinterpreted. Despite their widespread use, their role in building interpersonal connections remains underexplored.

    A recent study in PLOS ONE investigates this gap, showing that in interactions with close friends, emojis can increase perceived responsiveness, likability, closeness, and relationship satisfaction, highlighting their potential to strengthen digital relationships when used thoughtfully.

    How emotional intelligence impact emoji communication?

    The study also examines how different types of emojis, such as face vs. non-face emojis, influence perceptions, as some are more expressive than others.

    Researchers found that using emojis makes people seem more responsive, even in digital conversations. Partners who used emojis were seen as more engaged and emotionally connected than those who only used text. This increased sense of responsiveness was linked to feeling closer to the partner and being more satisfied with the relationship.

    In the study, 260 participants read 15 short conversations where they imagined receiving replies from friends. Each participant was randomly shown either text-only messages or messages with both text and emojis.

    Researchers measured how participants felt about the responses, such as responsiveness, likability, closeness, and relationship satisfaction, using standard rating scales.

    The findings showed that messages with emojis were seen as more responsive than plain text. This sense of responsiveness also led to stronger feelings of closeness and greater satisfaction with the relationship.

    The study shows that using emojis plays an important role in how people view their communication partners, making them seem more responsive, likable, and emotionally close. Even simple emoji use can spark a positive chain reaction in conversations.

    This research offers key insights into how digital communication works:

    Emojis help bridge the gap between text messages and face-to-face conversations, making online chats feel more personal and engaging.

    All types of emojis, not just expressive ones, boost how responsive and likable a partner seems, which also improves closeness and relationship satisfaction. It highlights that feeling understood and responded to is crucial for strong relationships, whether online or in person.

  • Ancient fish bones reveal clues about the evolution of eating

    Ancient fish bones reveal clues about the evolution of eating

    Long before the first mammals walked the Earth, the oceans were home to strange, powerful fish. Some of these ancient fish eventually crawled onto land and kicked off a new chapter in evolution.

    Now, thanks to new fossil research, we’re learning even more about how these early animals lived – and ate.


    In a new study led by scientists from Flinders University, researchers examined jawbones from 380-million-year-old lungfish found in Western Australia’s remote Gogo fossil field.

    The findings shed light on the evolution of feeding strategies in fish that are closely related to all land-dwelling vertebrates, including us.

    Biting power of ancient fish

    The researchers used 3D finite element modeling (FEM) – a tool more commonly seen in engineering. They digitally tested how different fossilized jaws handled biting stress.

    By running simulations on fish jawbones from multiple species, the team revealed surprising variation in shape, strength, and eating behavior.

    “Lungfish are ‘sister taxa’ to the tetrapods – or all four-limbed animals with a backbone, including humans – which means they are our closest ‘fishy’ relatives,” noted Dr. Alice Clement.

    “They have an extensive fossil history stretching back over 400 million years and still with living representatives today and their phylogenetic proximity to tetrapods giving insight into our long-distant ancestors who first made the move from water to land.”

    That close relationship makes lungfish fossils especially valuable. The Gogo Formation in northern Western Australia is a goldmine of such specimens. With 11 known species, it holds the most diverse group of lungfish ever discovered from one place or time.

    Fish bite force and eating style

    Until now, scientists knew these fish had different jaw shapes. What they didn’t know was how those jaws worked. The new models changed that.

    “We’re slowly teasing apart the details of how the bodies and lifestyles of these animals changed, as they moved from being fish that lived in water, to becoming tetrapods that moved about on land,” said Dr. Clement.

    By scanning seven fossil species and applying FEM to five of them, the team was able to measure how the jawbones responded to stress during simulated bites.

    Fossil bites defy expectations

    The dataset is the most detailed look yet at biting performance in any fossil fish. It provides biomechanical evidence for diverse feeding adaptations and niche partitioning within Gogo lungfishes, noted Dr. Olga Panagiotopoulou, a functional anatomist at Touro University California.

    Some of the findings contradicted assumptions. Jaws that looked sturdy on the outside didn’t always perform well in bite-force simulations. And some that looked more delicate turned out to be much stronger than expected.

    “The results were somewhat surprising, with some ‘robust’-looking lower jaws appearing to not be all that well suited to biting stress, and some of the more gracile or slender jaws appeared to be able to withstand stress and strain very well,” said Professor John Long of Flinders University.

    “This diversity of biomechanical function seen in the Gogo lungfishes suggest that there was niche partitioning and trophic differentiation among lungfishes, possibly accounting for their incredibly high species diversity at this site.”

    When fish reinvented eating

    The Devonian period, often called the “Age of Fishes,” was ruled by placoderms and other ancient species for about 60 million years. Many of their fossils were found decades ago, but new tools like FEM are finally revealing how these animals actually lived.

    Joshua Bland, a researcher at the Flinders Palaeontology Lab, is the study’s lead author. He noted that the Gogo lungfish of the Late Devonian reefs were truly unique, with species possessing a host of different behaviors and abilities.

    “To capture parts of that story, hidden in the bone, was extremely rewarding. It felt like we lifted the veil on some real functions behind the form. It was impressive to see the more complex morphology perform better in our tests,” said Bland.

    Future science from old bones

    All 3D models from the study are now available on Morphosource, allowing other researchers to explore and expand on this work.

    By combining old fossils with new technology, the team has brought us one step closer to understanding the creatures that helped shape life on land.

    The researchers have also shown that even after 380 million years, ancient bones can still have something new to say.

    The full study was published in the journal iScience.

  • King Charles Pictured with Walking Stick in New Photos Amid Deteriorating Health

    King Charles Pictured with Walking Stick in New Photos Amid Deteriorating Health

    King Charles has been photographed in two new portraits at his Sandringham estate in Norfolk, showing the monarch walking through the Topiary Garden with a wooden walking stick. The 76-year-old looked happy and at ease in the photos, captured by photographer Millie Pilkington.

    In the images, Charles can be seen strolling down a grit path in sand-hued chinos, a pale blue shirt, and caramel-colored suede brogues. The first portrait features the King walking towards the camera, while the second captures him looking over a yew hedge with one hand resting on his waist.

    Sandringham Gardens and the Topiary Garden

    The portraits were shared on Sandringham’s official Instagram account, with a caption highlighting the King’s vision for the gardens. The Topiary Garden, which was inspired by the Cosmati pavement at Westminster Abbey, is part of Charles’s ongoing efforts to enrich the visitor experience and provide peaceful spaces for reflection.

    Fans of the royal family quickly took to the comments to praise the stunning gardens and Charles’s joyful appearance. One comment read: “Such a beautiful garden and fabulous shots,” while another noted: “Absolutely beautiful. The symmetry is so restful and the topiary is immaculate.”

    A Tradition of Walking Sticks

    Charles has been seen using a variety of walking sticks over the years. The photos from this shoot are not the first time he has been pictured with a walking aid; earlier this summer, he was spotted with an ornate stick at the Royal Windsor Horse Show and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It has been noted that the King’s walking sticks are traditional country fair accessories rather than walking aids.

    About Sandringham Estate

    Sandringham has been a royal residence since 1862, when Queen Victoria purchased it for her son, the future King Edward VII. The estate, which spans 20,000 acres and includes 60 acres of gardens, a museum, and a main house, is one of the royal family’s most cherished properties. George V, the late Queen’s grandfather, once described Sandringham as “Dear old Sandringham, the place I love better than anywhere else in the world.”

  • Prince Harry ‘so sick’ of fighting with Charles, William but Meghan disagrees

    Prince Harry ‘so sick’ of fighting with Charles, William but Meghan disagrees

    Prince Harry decides to take first step in ending feud with Royals: ‘Onus is on him’

    Prince Harry is reportedly desperate to mend bond with King Charles, Prince William and the rest of the royal family as Duke is said to be “so sick” of all the fighting.

    A new report has claimed that the Duke of Sussex is eager to make peace with Charles especially in light of his ongoing health issues.

    According to a royal insider, Harry understands that the responsibility to take the first step may now fall on him.

    However, his wife, Meghan Markle, is of the opinion that the royal family takes the first step in ending their years-long feud.

    “Harry knows the onus is on him to back down, especially with his father’s ill health,” a royal source told Heat Magazine.

    “Meghan’s view is that the royals need to make the effort, but Harry is so sick of all the fighting,” they added.

    This comes after it was reported that Harry has “agreed” to invite King Charles, Prince William and other Royals to the 2027 Invictus Games.

    “Invictus hopes the royal family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans,” a source said, per Mail on Sunday.

    They added, “The royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated.”

    However, a spokesman for Invictus shared with the publication, “No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages.”

  • James Remar makes interesting comment on ‘Sex and the City’ role

    James Remar makes interesting comment on ‘Sex and the City’ role

    Photo: James Remar defies public opinion ‘Sex and the City’ character 

    James Remar recently made a rare comment on his Sex and the City character. 

    While speaking to PEOPLE Magazine during the Dexter: Resurrection world premiere at Alice Tully Hall in New York City, James shared his two cents on the show and branded Richard the “best boyfriend” ever.

    Elaborating on the relationship between Richard and Samantha, portrayed by Kim Cattrall, the 71-year-old commented, “I’m the best boyfriend on the show,” something opposed to the general public opinion about the character. 

    He went on to recall a talk between him and Michael Patrick King, a series writer and director, and shared, “I said, ‘How come you dissolved our relationship? It’s like we were the two that were the best for each other.’”

    “And he said, ‘We only introduce love on this show to have it fail,’ “ he quoted Michael.

    “So at least he said that there was love there,” James established and asserted, “And he said, ‘But it failed and you’re not coming back.’ “

    He even addressed speculations of his return to the series, noting that he would be surprised if he’d be asked back.

    “I am sure it’ll be difficult to say no, but I’m an old guy. They’re not going to call me,” he remarked in conclusion.
