You can now win a one-of-a-kind RTX 5090, but you need to be quick
'May the Fourth be with you' is a slogan that every Star Wars fan hears at least once a day. A play on the iconic 'May the Force be with you,' it's used to mark May 4th, officially recognized as Star Wars day. This year, Nvidia jumped on the celebration bandwagon, with an interesting twist: Instead of focusing on Star Wars, Nvidia decided to make fans choose between two favorites.

The company prepared two versions of the RTX 5090, and each is up for grabs through a giveaway. Due to the design of the Founders Edition of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, there's not much space on the shroud to really celebrate either franchise, but both cards look fantastic regardless. One sports the timeless X-Wing from Star Wars, and the other one the Enterprise NCC-1701 from Star Trek.
The ultimate #MayThe4thBeWithYou showdown
What side of the galaxy are you choosing?
🌌 GeForce RTX 5090 w/ Star Wars' fearless X-Wing
🖖 GeForce RTX 5090 w/ Star Trek's legendary Enterprise NCC-1701
Tell us why you'd choose Star Wars OR Star Trek & use #RTXON to enter to WIN pic.twitter.com/agXUpbV3ym — NVIDIA GeForce (@NVIDIAGeForce) May 4, 2025
All you need to do to win is to reply to one of Nvidia's social media posts and explain why you'd choose Star Wars or Star Trek, then add #RTXON. Nvidia values the card at $2,750, but in reality, it's most likely worth a lot more.
Various terms and conditions apply, but the most important thing is that this contest is not available everywhere. If you live in the U.S., you can't win the GPU if you're from the state of New York or Florida, or from Puerto Rico. Many other countries have also been excluded. Additionally, you need to be at least 18 to participate.
The giveaway ends on May 6 at 5 PM PT, so time is running short. The odds may not be in your favor, with thousands of participants trying their luck, but you might as well give it a shot — you never know. I threw my hat in the ring and I'm hoping for the best.

Nvidia CEO Says He Would Major in the Physical Sciences
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang graduated with a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University in 1984, but he would change that major if he were in college today. What would Jensen Huang study if he were 20 years old again? Nvidia's 61-year-old CEO answered this question during a trip to Beijing on Wednesday, as reported by CNBC. Huang, who graduated from college two years early at the age of 20 and is now the CEO of the most valuable company in the world, said that the "20-year-old Jensen" would have "probably chosen more of the physical sciences" over "the software sciences." The physical sciences include disciplines that study non-living systems, such as physics, earth science, and chemistry. Software sciences, on the other hand, include fields like computer science and AI engineering. Huang didn't major in either of those areas. His LinkedIn profile shows that he graduated from Oregon State University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He received a Master's in the same field from Stanford University in 1992. Electrical engineers make the physical computer hardware used by software engineers and developers. Related: Nvidia CEO Says '100% of Everybody's Jobs Will Be Changed' Due to AI Huang did not elaborate on why he would have picked the physical sciences over software engineering, but he has stated in the past that AI equalizes software development, allowing even non-programmers to generate code. At London Tech Week last month, Huang said that everyone can write code simply by prompting AI using natural language. "There's a new programming language," Huang said at the event. "This programming language is called 'human.'" Huang has repeated the same message before. Last year, he said that AI would take over coding, making learning programming languages optional. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang arrives for a press conference in Beijing earlier this week. Photo by ADEK BERRY/AFP via Getty Images Huang previously said that if he were in school today, the first thing he would do is "learn AI." In a January interview on the podcast "Huge Conversations," Huang said that students should be asking the question, "How can I use AI to do my job better?" "Learning how to interact with AI is not unlike being someone who is really good at asking questions," Huang said on the podcast. He also said in the interview that he uses AI as a personal tutor to learn new things, program, write, and analyze concepts. Huang uses the $20 a month version of ChatGPT as a tutor and Perplexity's AI search engine to learn more about subjects like biology. Related: Nvidia's CEO Says It No Longer Matters If You Never Learned to Code: 'There's a New Programming Language' Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was also asked what students should study. In an interview last year with Bloomberg, Zuckerberg said that the most important skill young people should embrace is thinking "critically" and "learning values." Zuckerberg said in the interview that he hires new people based on their demonstrated ability to dive deep into a field and master it. Zuckerberg has been on a hiring spree lately, poaching AI experts from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to build a new AI team. Huang co-founded Nvidia in 1993 and has served as its CEO ever since. Nvidia is the biggest company in the world, with a market capitalization of $4.21 trillion at the time of writing.

TSMC's Q2 profit soars by 60% on the back of solid AI chip demand
Chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter and also fuelled investors' hopes by raising its 2025 outlook. The firm, delivering to Apple and Nvidia among others, is benefiting from big tech companies' hunger to build their AI capacities, resulting in a resilient demand for high-end semiconductors. For the three months ending 30 June, the company's net income was NT$398.2bn (€11.7bn), 60.7% up compared to last year. Year-over-year, second quarter revenue increased by 38.6%, and came in at NT$933.7bn (€27.35bn), Compared to the first quarter of 2025, second quarter results represented an 11.3% increase in revenue and a 10.2% increase in net income. Related Chipmaker Nvidia hits $4 trillion making it world's most valuable company TSMC profit soars and outlook kept steady despite chip tariff woes 'TSMC delivered a strong beat, ahead of expectations. Margins remained solid despite currency headwinds from a stronger Taiwanese dollar,' said Ben Barringer, global technology analyst at Quilter Cheviot. He added, 'AI‑related demand continues to be the engine of growth, while non‑AI segments are beginning to recover more steadily.' 'Our business in the second quarter was supported by continued robust AI and HPC (High-Performance Computing)-related demand,' said Wendell Huang, Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. 'Moving into the third quarter of 2025, we expect our business to be supported by strong demand for our leading-edge process technologies.' TSMC raised guidance for Q3, now expecting over 30% year‑on‑year sales growth, up from previous full‑year expectations of 25%. 'Revenue is expected to be between $31.8bn and $33bn,' their statement said. With Trump's tariff policy, uncertainty is also in the cards Washington's tariff policy is overshadowing the company's outlook. Taiwan is in talks with the US to set lower trade tariffs on its exports to the country than the 32%, President Donald Trump announced in April. Taiwan is also one of the countries expecting a letter from the US President in the coming days, similar to those Trump has used to outline tariffs for other countries over the past week—including 30% for the European Union, if there is no trade deal before a recently postponed deadline of 1 August. Earlier this month, the US President also warned of potential additional tariffs on semiconductors. Related ASML sees share price drop as Trump's tariffs darken outlook Recently, investors piled back into AI-linked companies, pushing Nvidia to become the first company in history to hit a $4 trillion market capitalisation, after its shares hit a new record. However, individual company news fuel concerns that the market trend may be short-lived. A day before TSMC's results, Dutch chipmaking firm ASML saw its shares drop drastically after the company lowered its financial outlook for 2026 due to 'increasing uncertainty' in geopolitics, according to CEO Christophe Fouquet. As for TSMC, investors appear to be optimistic. After the earnings report, Taiwan Semiconductor's stock price rose 4% in premarket trade in the US.
