过去几个月,市场对 AI 算力基础设施的热情只增不减。从 $英伟达(NVDA)$ 的市值突破4万亿,到电力紧缺成为算力扩张的瓶颈,大家都在问:谁来提供AI 时代的“新石油”——电力? $Fermi LLC(FRMI)$ 横空出世。9 月公司向 SEC 递交了 IPO 申请,计划在纳斯达克上市,发行价区间 18–22 美元,最多融资 5 亿多美元。如果承销商行使绿鞋,规模可能更大。市场传言它的目标估值高达 130 亿美元——要知道,这是一个尚无收入的公司。所以问题来了:Fermi 是一个空中楼阁的 PPT 项目,还是一张高风险高回报的彩票?我们不妨拆开看看。公司故事:不仅是数据中心,更是能源巨兽Fermi 的定位不是一家单纯的数据中心运营商。它想做的是一个 “能源 + 数据中心一体化” 的巨型综合体。公司已经拿下了德州 5,000 多英亩的土地,规划了一个名为 Project Matador 的超大园区。核心理念是:在园区内部建设发电厂(包括天然气、太阳能、电池储能,甚至未来的核电机组),然后“behind-the-meter”直接供电给园区里的数据中心。目标电力容量:11 GW。这是什么概念?差不多能顶得上几个中等国家的总电力负荷。未来,这里将为 AI 超算、云计算企业提供“低碳、稳定、独立于电网”的算力基础设施。一句话:他们不是在建数据中心,而是在建“能源驱动的超级算力新城”。募资与结构:REIT 的外壳,AI 的故事Fermi 的架构比较特别——它选择了 REIT(房地产投资信托) 的路径。这意味着它未来的收入模式,不是卖 GPU,而是靠“租金”——租用机房空间、供电容量。IPO 计划:发行 25,000,000

Big-Tech Weekly | NVIDIA and Intel Reshape AI Future​; ​​iPhone 17 Pre-Orders Skyrocket!

Big-Tech’s PerformanceMacro Headlines This Week:The Fed's first rate cut in nearly a year signals a softening labor market. On September 16, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points—the first cut since December 2024. The decision was driven primarily by weakness in the labor market and inflation that remains not fully under control. The Fed's economic projections (dot plot) indicate there could be two more rate cuts in 2025 (in October and December). However, internal opinions aren't fully aligned; new board member Stephen Miran advocates for a larger cut, while some officials remain wary of upside inflation risks. With job growth slowing but inflation still sticky, economists are once again warning of the risk of "stagflation" in the U.S. (slow growth + high i

$Intel(INTC)$ Intel was once the undisputed king of semiconductors. For decades, the company defined computing performance, rode the PC boom, and held dominant market share across data centers and consumer devices. But in recent years, Intel has been relegated to the sidelines as rivals like AMD, Nvidia, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) surged ahead. Now, the narrative may be shifting. Intel has reportedly approached Apple for a potential investment and collaboration, a surprising development that, while still in early discussions, has already sparked renewed investor enthusiasm.

$Intel(INTC)$   ⚡ Intel’s Revenge Comeback? Can the Sleeping Giant Rise Again in 2025? 🚀 Introduction – From Fallen Titan to Underdog Story Not long ago, Intel was the king of chips. Its dominance in PCs and data centers felt unshakable. But over the past decade, the crown slipped: Apple ($Apple(AAPL)$  ) ditched Intel for its own M-series chips. AMD ($Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  ) ate into Intel’s CPU market with superior designs. Nvidia ($NVIDIA(NVDA)$  ) captured the AI crown, becoming Wall Street’s darling.

$Intel(INTC)$ Few companies in technology carry as much historical weight as Intel. Once the undisputed king of semiconductors, Intel powered the PC revolution with its “Intel Inside” dominance, shaped Silicon Valley’s rise, and generated staggering profits. Yet over the past decade, the company has stumbled — missing key product cycles, falling behind in manufacturing, and ceding ground to hungrier rivals like AMD, Nvidia, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Now, reports suggest Intel has approached Apple for a potential investment and closer collaboration. The talks are still in their infancy, and no deal is guaranteed.

$Intel(INTC)$  Here’s how I assess the Intel situation (based on public information as of now). Use this as input for your own decision-making, not as definitive advice. --- 1. Is Intel still a “buy” at ~$30? It’s a risky “buy” — conditional on certain execution and external factors. Supporting arguments: The news that Intel has approached Apple about a potential investment has given renewed investor enthusiasm.  Intel already received a $5 billion investment from Nvidia, which is a strong signal of confidence (and a partnership in AI / chip development)  Intel is trying to reposition itself in the semiconductor / foundry / AI space, which has structural tailwinds (demand for compute, AI chips, data centers).
