The artificial intelligence (AI) supercycle is creating huge opportunities across chips and data center infrastructure.

The artificial intelligence (AI) supercycle is creating huge opportunities across chips and data center infrastructure. And at a glance, both Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) look like reasonable ways to invest in that trend. Both have products tied to AI data centers, and both are trying to win a bigger slice of the next wave of computing demand. But when comparing the two, I think one of these two chip companies is a better long-term bet than the other: AMD. Intel may have more potential if its turnaround goes well. But AMD already has a more established business in key growth areas -- and that arguably gives it a meaningfully lower risk profile right now. Continue reading

Tyne Chin | Getty Images News | Getty Images This report is from this week's CNBC's The China Connection newsletter, which brings you insights and analysis on what's driving the world's second-largest economy. You can subscribe here . Hi, this is Evelyn, writing to you from Beijing. Welcome to the latest edition of The China Connection — a succinct snapshot of what I'm seeing and hearing from local businesses. Today, I dive into the AI job market on both sides of the Pacific. While Silicon Valley braces for overnight layoffs, is China faring any better? The big story As Oracle becomes the latest U.S. tech giant to undergo massive layoffs , the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs at Chinese companies looks more contained for now. There are a few underlying reasons, starting with a different government system. Unlike the U.S., Beijing has a national employment goal — a jobless rate of around 5.5% in cities . On top of that state-directed mandate, lower labor costs in China also mean local companies aren't laying off as many people as their U.S. peers, according to Alex Lu, founder of LSY Consulting. The average monthly salary for high-demand algorithm engineers was 20,035 yuan (about $2,900), online jobs platform Zhilian revealed last month. While considered decent starting pay in China, in U.S. dollar terms, that's an annual salary of around $35,000 — nearly ten times less than what Silicon Valley offers, albeit with far higher taxes and living costs in the U.S. A "level 2" software engineer in the U.S. making around $300,000 in base salary would get a 50% pay cut if transferred back to China, according to a human resources manager at a startup in Silicon Valley who previously worked at Baidu and TikTok.
