Nvidia to expand RTX 50-series with more GPUs for budget gamers
The RTX 5050 is particularly noteworthy, as it would mark Nvidia's potential return to the sub-$250 GPU market—a segment it hasn't actively targeted since the RTX 3050. The absence of a 50-class card in the RTX 40-series left a gap that was filled by older RTX 30-series GPUs and offerings from competitors. The introduction of the RTX 5050 could provide an affordable entry point for gamers seeking to leverage Nvidia's latest technologies without a significant financial outlay.
While the EEC filings indicate Zotac's intent to produce these models, it's important to approach this information with caution. Registrations with regulatory bodies like the EEC often include placeholder names, and not all listed products make it to market. However, the inclusion of the RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5060 Ti aligns with industry expectations for a more diverse RTX 50-series lineup catering to various budget levels.
The RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti are expected to offer mid-range performance, with rumors suggesting multiple VRAM configurations. Specifically, the RTX 5060 Ti may come in both 8GB and 16GB variants, providing consumers with options based on their performance needs and budget. The standard RTX 5060 is expected to launch with 8GB of memory, similar to its predecessor, the RTX 4060.
As of now, Nvidia has not officially announced these models, and details regarding their specifications, pricing, and release dates remain speculative. Reports suggest that more concrete information may emerge around Computex in late May, a period often used by tech companies to unveil new products.

This Artificial Intelligence Stock, Down 57%, Is Getting Ridiculously Cheap
Written by Puja Tayal at The Motley Fool Canada For years, technology has been putting development on steroids. Growing at a rapid scale, the internet, cloud, mobile, e-commerce, and now artificial intelligence (AI) have been changing the way we learn, work, and consume content. Such disruptions are difficult to value as they grow exponentially after every phase. Technology keeps upgrading, creating a consistent source of revenue for companies that power the tech or catch up to the trend. Several artificial intelligence stocks trade near their highs Several AI hardware stocks dipped between February and April 2025 as Trump tariff uncertainty slowed AI investment. They have now recovered. Among the names are Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, and Celestica. They make graphics processing units (GPUs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and networking units for AI data centres. However, the next step in the AI revolution is users of this AI hardware. Some of these companies are still investing in AI infrastructure and will see the returns in the coming months. Hence, their stocks are trading at a lower valuation than their future growth potential. This artificial intelligence stock is down 57% One such company is Hive Digital Technologies (TSXV:HIVE). You know this company for its Bitcoin mining, from which it earns 90% revenue. However, it made a move to AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure a few years back. This segment is fast-growing. In FY25 alone, revenue from AI/HPC surged 300% to US$10.1 million. Hive has named this segment BUZZ HPC business. BUZZ HPC segment is a vertical integration of Hive's Nvidia graphics processing unit (GPU)-powered data centres that mine Bitcoin. It is aggressively expanding its capacity on the back of strong demand. HIVE acquired a 7.2-megawatt (MW) facility in Toronto to support its HBC infrastructure and accelerate the development of a sovereign Canadian AI ecosystem. However, the biggest expansion is happening in Paraguay, where it is building a 300-MW capacity. It is expected to be completed by December 2025. The first phase of 100 MW became operational in Paraguay, increasing its Bitcoin mining hashrate from six Exahash per second (EH/s) to 11.5 EH/s in June 2025. At this capacity, it is mining 5.5 BTC daily. It aims to reach 25 EH/s by December 2025, mining 12.5 BTC daily. Hive is also acquiring Bitfarms's 200-MW hydro-powered Bitcoin mining facility in Paraguay to reach the 25 EH/s goal. Despite these investments, Hive's stock continued to trade 57% below its November 2024 high of $7.35, while Bitcoin prices surged 36%. It is because the Bitcoin Halving event on April 20, 2024, reduced Hive's revenue and gross operating margin to 22% in FY25 from 33% in FY24. However, Hive is increasing its capacity to sustain Bitcoin mining volumes. It will also use the new capacity to expand in the high-margin HPC business to reduce the impact of Bitcoin price volatility on its earnings. Is Hive a ridiculously cheap stock? Taking a long-term view of Hive stock, the decelerating Bitcoin mining revenue and exponential growth in HPC could see HPC revenue come on par with the mining revenue in a few years. Long-term investors can invest in Hive for its HPC business, where it is increasing capacity and market share. Hive is funding its expansion using some of the Bitcoin it mined. The company's profits will fluctuate with Bitcoin prices. The real value of this company lies in the enterprise value of $500 million, which is below the market capitalization of $492.3 million. Running at 18 EH/s capacity, Hive expects its revenue to grow fourfold to US$400 million from US$105 million in FY25. It expects its HPC business to grow 10-fold to US$100 million in annual recurring revenue. Even if Hive takes two to three years to achieve this growth, the stock is trading at an attractive valuation of 2.47 times the price-to-sales ratio. The company's strong fundamentals can help it sustain a downturn and grow in an upturn. At $2.23 per share, Hive stock is a buy-and-hold investment, as it can grow to $6 and above during a cyclical upturn.

CNBC Daily Open: Investors dismiss Trump administration's beef with the Fed — S&P hits new high
With the job market currently being rough for many — in no small part because of artificial intelligence — it may be tempting to enroll in graduate school in the hopes of securing a better job eventually. Don't do it. That is, if you have dreams of working at America's central bank. U.S. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent on Monday questioned the Federal Reserve's decision not to lower interest rates this year so far, given that the U.S. has "seen very little, if any, inflation." "I think this idea of them not being able to break out of a certain mindset," Bessent said, referring to Fed officials. "All these Ph.D.s over there, I don't know what they do." The headline number for June's consumer price index was the highest since February. While navigating the job market has been a challenge regardless of qualifications, the stock market seems to be on a smooth path upward regardless of challenges. The S&P 500 broke the 6,300 closing level for the first time on Monday. That's despite the Trump administration's beef with the Fed and its use of heavy tariffs as a bargaining tool. Under those circumstances, an investor doesn't need a Ph.D. to know that volatility in markets could lie ahead despite the positive sentiment today. Scott Bessent calls for a review of the Federal Reserve. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, the U.S. Treasury Secretary suggested that the government needs to examine the "entire" Fed to assess if it has been "successful." Tariff deadlines will 'put more pressure' on countries. Bessent, in the same interview, said that the upcoming Aug. 1 deadline will help the U.S. reach "better agreements" with its trade partners, suggesting it could be used as a negotiating tool. The S&P 500 closed above 6,300 for the first time. Boosted by advances in Meta and Amazon shares, the Nasdaq Composite notched a record closing high as well. Across the Atlantic, the Stoxx Europe 600 dipped 0.08%. Trump Media has built a roughly $2 billion bitcoin hoard. Those holdings now account for about two-thirds of Trump Media's total liquid assets, signaling U.S. President Donald Trump's pivot to cryptocurrency as a source of wealth while in office. [PRO] European small caps have room to grow. A weak dollar and expectations of an improving regional economy were giving small caps a boost, said a Goldman Sachs strategist, who also explained why they are outperforming larger companies. Nvidia's China return buys time for Beijing to boost its chip drive When Nvidia said it planned to resume chip shipments to China, seemingly with the blessing of Washington, it sparked debate over the strategic implications for the U.S.′ dominance in AI and China's own focus on boosting its domestic chip and tech industry. For the U.S., Nvidia's return could help cement American strength in AI globally, experts told CNBC. For China, it could buy the country time as it continues on its own path to build Nvidia rivals and keep pace with AI software development. —

Why One Wall Street Analyst Is Growing More Bullish on This Nvidia Partner's Stock
Arm (ARM) shares climbed Monday as analysts at Wells Fargo raised their price target for the chip designer's stock ahead of quarterly earnings due next week. The analysts raised their target to $175 from $145, well above the mean of analysts tracked by Visible Alpha, which sits at about $143. Shares of Arm rose over 3% to close near $162 Monday, and have added roughly a third of their value in 2025. Arm, which develops CPU designs used in chips from companies like Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google, could be well-positioned to benefit from 'expanding AI opportunities,' including growing data center demand, Wells Fargo told clients in a note Sunday. "We continue to estimate strong growth for Arm's royalties business despite tariff-related uncertainty," Wells Fargo said, adding that Arm's ramp of AI and custom silicon designs could "drive meaningful royalty revenue growth' this fiscal year. Arm is scheduled to report fiscal first-quarter earnings after the market closes on July 30. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio
