The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) is revving up the design and testing phase of its widebody C929 airliner, marshalling its resources and mobilising its stakeholders to roll out the indigenous jet on schedule – or, potentially, ahead of earlier estimates. Specialists from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) have proactively involved themselves in the C929’s development, the South China Morning Post has learned, with personnel from the national regulator assessing designs, offering feedback and moving some certification reviews ahead while the airliner takes shape. “Preliminary wind tunnel tests have started in recent months, an early milestone of collaboration between the regulator and Comac,” according to a source close to the matter, who added the joint work suggests an accelerated pace. Advertisement Wind tunnel tests are mandated by global regulators, including the CAAC. They play a major role in the design of new aircraft, generating aerodynamic data for the structural and performance assessment that will support certification. Tests can be conducted with a prototype, scale models or fuselage parts; it was not clear what method was used for the C929.

Both companies’ stock prices have since surged, meeting our price targets and continuing to rise above them. Intel's stock is up by a whopping 132% over the past 1 year, while AMD is up 99%. In this analysis, we compare the two companies again to determine whether these companies are still attractive and investable at current levels given the strong run-up of their stock prices. We analyze both companies with a direct comparison in terms of their revenue performance and growth outlook, in terms of specific drivers, which focused on AMD's continued data center growth and CPU strengths, and Intel's strategy revolving around its foundry expansion and process roadmap execution. We then provide a contrast of both companies' strategy execution and direction, as well as a comparison of the two companies' financials, highlighting the strength of AMD's fabless model over Intel's capital-intensive approach, especially for its foundry ambitions. We conclude with a comparison of both companies with updated valuations based on DCF. Revenue Growth Performance and Outlook Comparison In this section, we will compare both companies' revenue segments and performance to see which company is better and has better growth prospects. Performance Comparison Company Data, Khaveen Investments We compiled the revenue segment breakdown summary above, for AMD. Based on its Q3 2025 YTD results, its AMD revenue growth has been impressive (34.4% YoY) and in line with its 5-year average. Its strong growth is mainly driven by its new Ryzen AI CPUs, while its gaming GPUs also r...

Digital meeting notetakers like Read AI, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, and Granola help record and transcribe online meetings. But for in-person or more versatile options, many people prefer physical recording devices These physical notetakers transcribe audio and give users summaries and action items of meetings using AI. Some of these devices are wearable—pins or pendants with dedicated mics for recording—while others are credit-card sized with dedicated mobile apps to transcribe and extract insights using AI. A few even offer live translation. Below is a non-exhaustive list of physical AI notetakers and transcription tools. Plaud Note/Plaud Note Pro This credit card-sized notetaker has been around since 2023, with a newer, AI-powered Pro version that has a small screen, four mics, and records audio within three to five meters. It also can switch between in-person recording and call recording. Plaud Note Pro. Image Credis: Ivan Mehta Image Credits:Ivan Mehta The Plaud Note costs $159, while the Note Pro costs $179. They come with 300 minutes of transcription free per month. Mobvoi TicNote Mobvi’s rectangular notetaker is priced at $159 and includes 600 free transcription minutes. The company claims the device shows real-time transcription and translation with support for more than 120 languages. The device offers 25 hours of continuous recording through its three microphones.
