We're going to speak live with the 16 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 3: CEO in Las Vegas, and you can catch that conversation 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 3: at eleven thirty this morning, Wall Street Time on Bloomberg 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 3: Radio and Television. 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan Wongs and Vidia begins the day at an 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: all time high. The stocks surged almost three and a 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: half percent yesterday. Lorie Calvasina, the head of US equity 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: strategy at RBC Capital Market, says it is a key 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: for the markets for other stocks to participate in the rally. 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 5: Look, I think a lot of people want this market 25 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 5: to broaden out. You can count myself in that camp. 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 5: That being said, I think we have to understand why 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 5: we have had so many head fakes so far, and 28 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 5: it is simply because the value part of the market, 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 5: the rest of the SMP, whatever you want to call it, 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 5: has just not put up superior earnings growth. 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: RBC's Lori Calvasina notes a gauge of the Magnificent seven 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: mega caps outperform the broader markets, climbing two percent. 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: Well, another major market story we're following this morning, Karen 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: involves geo politics. The US is targeting the world's biggest 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: gaming publisher and the top electric vehicle battery maker. In 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: a surprise move of weeks before Donald Trump takes office, 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: The Pentagon has blacklisted ten Cent Holdings Contemporary Amprex Technology, 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: or CATL for alleged links to the Chinese military. We 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: get more from Bloomberg's Rebekka Chung Wilkins in Hong Kong. 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 6: It's this Pentagon list of companies with these alleged links 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 6: to the Chinese military doesn't actually necessitate any kind of 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 6: actual sanctions or immediate restrictions on these companies. But it 43 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 6: is essentially a form of sort of discouragement to US 44 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 6: entities and to US companies from dealing business or trading 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 6: these names. So you know, we'll really wait to see 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 6: whether the long term consequences followed through. Important to note 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 6: that Tencent, among those other names, have pushed back quite 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 6: firmly on this allegation. They say that their inclusion on 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 6: this list is a mistake. 50 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Rebecca Chung Wilkins says China's Foreign ministry is vowing 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: to defend its company's rights. 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Nathan Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Hares raised serious concern 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 2: about malicious cyber activity, which China's Vice Premier Hali Fog 54 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: the Treasury Department serves the t leaders meant virtually yesterday, 55 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: and Yellen Warren of consequences for Chinese companies that support 56 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: Russia's war in Ukraine, as well as Chinese industrial over 57 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: capacity that she says is harming US business. The exchange 58 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: comes a week after the US said Chinese state sponsored 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: hackers had reached about. 60 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 7: One hundred Treasury Department computers. 61 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 2: It's likely to be Yellen's final direct contact with the 62 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: Chinese government and Karen. 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 3: We continue to follow the political turmoil in Canada. Hours 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: after Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign as Prime Minister, 65 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: Mark Karney, former Governor of the Bank of England and 66 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: Bank of Canada, said he's considering entering the race to 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: be Canada's new leader.

Yesterday, Trudeau cited his own inability to 71 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: unite the Liberal Party. 72 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 8: I have always been driven by my love for Canada, 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 8: by my desire to serve Canadians, and by what is 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 8: in the best interests of Canadians, and Canadians deserve a 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 8: real choice in the selection, and it has become obvious 76 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 8: to me with the internal battles, that I cannot be 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 8: the one to carry the Liberal standard into the next selection. 78 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: Justin Trudeau will remain Canada's Prime Minister until a new 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: leader is selected, that will likely be in March. 80 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, with less than two weeks until Donald Trump 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: returns to the White House, the President elect is making 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: a move to keep these special counsels repoored against him 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: from becoming public.

The 89 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: filing confirmed Smith is close to finalizing and may have 90 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: already finished his report. Smith dropped his case against Trump 91 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: after the election, citing long standing Justice Department policy against 92 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: prosecuting sitting presidents. 93 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: M Karen, a big supporter of Donald Trump, has been 94 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: added to the board at Meta Platforms.

I hear from them every day, 181 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 14: so that really did not have much of an effect. 182 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 14: I get how upset they are. I try to respond 183 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 14: to them. Nobody was more upset than I am about 184 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 14: how we performed in recent years. And yeah, I have 185 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 14: to stand up here and take the heat for that. 186 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 13: Marri admit of the Giants need to find a quarterback 187 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 13: Sead It's up to Sane and Davil to do that. 188 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 13: Another team that may fire its coach is Dallas.

The company that has been at the 210 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: forefront of artificial intelligence architecture for a couple of years 211 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: now is looking to cement that position for years to come. 212 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: And Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong unveiled a range of new chips, 213 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: software and services in front of a packed audience last 214 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: night at the CES trade show in Las Vegas, including 215 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: an update to the processor for in Nvidia's traditional customer 216 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: base of gamers. 217 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 7: The g Force. 218 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: G Force enabled AI to reach the masses, and now 219 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 4: AI is coming home to g Force. 220 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 7: And for more. 221 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 3: And what we heard last night from Nvidia and it's 222 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: CEO Jensen Wang. We're pleased to be joined this morning 223 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: by Bloomberg's Tom Mackenzie, Tom, good morning. G Force was 224 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 3: really just the tip of the iceberg? Was it a 225 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: Jensen Wong gave a lot for investors to chew on. 226 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 10: Yeah. 227 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 15: Look he stood there on the stage and is in 228 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 15: his sparkly leather jacket and not there to vegas. It 229 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 15: was a pass packed auditorium as you can imagine the 230 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 15: keynote speaker and as you say, look he hit on 231 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 15: a number of different topics and a number of different 232 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 15: unveils as well for the business. So yes, G Forces, 233 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 15: as you mentioned as well, a bit of a nod 234 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 15: back to back to the past the foundations of that 235 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 15: business of course, and video starting thirty years ago or 236 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 15: so as a gaming company building chips for gaming, and 237 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 15: then of course those were repurposed for AI. As we know, 238 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 15: the G Force is interestingly built on AI infrastructure now, 239 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 15: the Blackwell infrastructure, so that the proposition is will supercharge gaming. 240 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 15: So if you're a hardcore gamer, that's good news. They 241 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 15: get about ten billion eleven billion US dollars in terms 242 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 15: of revenues from gaming, still so not insignificant, but pales 243 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 15: and comparison in terms of what they get in terms 244 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 15: of revenues from the data center of the business with 245 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 15: those AI accelerators, that's expected to be about one hundred 246 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 15: billion this year in terms of revenues, but nonetheless still 247 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 15: a significant component is gaming. There was also the software 248 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 15: piece as well, and it's a reminder that in Vida 249 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 15: doesn't just do the hardware, doesn't just do the chips, 250 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 15: it does the software around as well, with Kuda for example, 251 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 15: that accompanies those black Well chips. But they also announced 252 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 15: a foundation model in terms of helping developers to start 253 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 15: to embed AI into physical property, so robots and cars, 254 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 15: and that was a big push by Jensen Wang. He's 255 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 15: obviously looking for other segments to grow the business, and 256 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 15: he thinks that physical AI is going to be quote 257 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 15: a multi trillion dollar opportunity for his business and others 258 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 15: within the space. 259 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, the aspect of that was really interesting, particularly with 260 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: this partnership that Jensen Wang announced last night with Toyota 261 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: on self driving cars, particularly when we're hearing from a 262 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: number of analysts now saying that Tesla is a pure 263 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 3: AI play. This could put in Vidio into even further 264 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: direct competition in the self driving vehicle space. 265 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 15: Absolutely, and you just see every time Jensen Wong mentions 266 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 15: a partner company. You see the move in the stopples. 267 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 15: You saw that Media Tech. You saw that with Toyota. 268 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 15: As you said that rallied on the back of this news. 269 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 15: So they're going to be partnering. We're Toyota. Autonomous Vehicles 270 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 15: is going to be part of the person you can 271 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 15: see your future where your interactions with your car are 272 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 15: going to be much more seamless. They're going to be, 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 15: for example, doing things like facial recognition make sure you're 274 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 15: not falling asleep, but the wheel giving you more updated 275 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 15: data in terms of driving conditions, the road surface, all 276 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 15: that kind of thing as part of that autonomous driving 277 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 15: package as well. Obviously you won't be driving, it will 278 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 15: be autonomous, but you'll be sitting. They're making sure that 279 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 15: things stay stay on track. In terms of what else 280 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 15: happens with the embed of AI generitive AI into some 281 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 15: of these physical attributes. Bank of America you nodded to 282 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 15: some of the concerns, maybe some of the cautionary notes 283 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 15: coming through from an as Bank of America saying, look, 284 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 15: you've got they've got to make sure that they are 285 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 15: cheap enough. These propositions that the components they're building around 286 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 15: embedding AI into robotics and autonomous cars. They're going to 287 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 15: be cheap enough, pervasiveness and efficient enough to really be 288 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 15: a new business proposition for in video. So maybe that's 289 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 15: still a question mark for them, but clearly this is 290 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 15: a CEO and a team that's determined to push beyond 291 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 15: data centers to continue that growth. 292 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: Last minute time, with this vision laid out last night, 293 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 3: how important was it for Jensen Wang to overperform in 294 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: terms of what the market's looking for, particularly after that 295 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: last earnings report that seemed to underwhelm investors. 296 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 15: There's always a mismatch. Always there has been a mismatch, 297 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 15: hasn't there in terms of the concern has been There's 298 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 15: going to be a mismatch in terms of the expectations 299 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 15: from the markets versus what has delivered. And of course, 300 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 15: in historic recent quarters, bar that one the most recent quarter, 301 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 15: Nvidia managed to outperform those expectations. Now the expectations are 302 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 15: just so so high for many analysts, they're saying that 303 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 15: is the concern. How does Nvidia continue to meet those 304 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 15: meet those expectations. Microsoft delayed some of those fears, of course, 305 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 15: a couple of days ago when it announced it was 306 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 15: going to be spending about eighty billion US dollars on 307 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 15: data centers just this year alone, and of course Nvidia 308 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 15: will be a key part of that build out and 309 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 15: that spend and SATI in the Della speaking in India 310 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 15: earlier today, talked about the partnership between Microsoft and Nvidia, 311 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 15: but also the partnership between Microsoft and AMD, and that's 312 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 15: where the competitive question comes into play. For Nvidia, AMD 313 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 15: still only has a marginal slice and fraction of the 314 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 15: market share when it comes to AI accelerators, but they 315 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 15: are obviously determined to kind of close that gap, and 316 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 15: obviously a number of their customers and videous customers the 317 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 15: hyperscale is already spending on R and D develop their 318 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 15: own chips, and that underscores gentle One's distermination to go 319 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 15: beyond data centers into sovereign AI and now increasingly into 320 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 15: quote unquote physical AI. 321 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 322 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 323 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 324 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 325 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 326 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 327 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 328 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 329 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 330 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 7: Plus. 331 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 3: Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app now 332 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 333 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
