What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports personal AI agents are driving a surge in demand for server CPUs. Not just graphics chips. The plain processors, too.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe named beneficiaries are A-M-D, Nvidia and Intel. The site's angle is a new compute cycle with upside for chip suppliers.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, every person is getting a tiny robot assistant, and every tiny robot assistant needs a brain. That is a gift with a power cord.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is the site's angle, Vera, not a guarantee. Nasdaq futures are up point six seven percent, so the market is at least listening.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Nasdaq is up one point zero five percent. I haven't felt this validated since the waiter said my table had a view.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour table was next to the dumpster, Vera. The view was a raccoon doing inventory.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat raccoon had excellent fundamentals. Anyway, my agent will book my dinners, answer my texts and fire Dale.
