Nvidia > Intel
Nvidia's market cap topped Intel's for the first time.
What happened: Nvidia stock has rallied 9.3% so far this week, reaching a market cap of over $258 billion. Nvidia makes graphics chips and has seen its share price rally over 75% year to date. In contrast, Intel stock is down almost 4% in 2020, and that of Nvidia now overshadows the company's market cap of $247 billion.
Nvidia is a pioneer in making graphic chips that have applications in gaming, virtual reality, and AI processing. The company has seen demand for its data center business boom from $300 million a year to almost $3 billion in just five years. Nvidia has won giant orders from AI leaders like Facebook and Google due to the superior processing power of its chips for such applications.
Although Intel still dominates the data center business, with $20 billion in annual revenue, Nvidia's growth has been much faster. Nvidia stock is trading at 75 times its earnings, compared to 12 times for Intel's. Nvidia stock has surged 160% in the last 12 months as investors continue to reward high growth companies.
