But for desktop PC gamers, AMD has a different pitch. It's relaunching three old components alongside a big new promise: you won't need to buy a new motherboard until 2030. Today, AMD is promising it will keep supporting its AM5 desktop motherboard socket with new Ryzen processors through 2029, which likely means you can keep upgrading to newer CPUs till the end of the decade without changing your board. Even if you're still on the older AM4 socket, you … Read the full story at The Verge.

Vietnamese diagnostic testing startup Gene Solutions is preparing for a Hong Kong initial public offering as early as the second quarter of next year, a rare local firm seeking to access deeper capital markets and boost international visibility. The Ho Chi Minh City-based company is currently in the pre-IPO stage and expects to complete a $50 million Series C fundraising round by the end of the third quarter, Chief Executive Officer Nguyen Hoai Nghia said in an interview. Gene Solutions is seeking to raise about $100 million through the share offering and begin trading in Hong Kong between the second and third quarters of next year, he said. Gene Solutions, which specializes in non-invasive prenatal testing and early cancer screening using genetic sequencing technology, is targeting a valuation of around $800 million, depending on market conditions. Ahead of the listing, the company aims to meet Hong Kong’s revenue threshold by generating about $90 million by the end of this year, Nghia said. “Vietnam has built a robust foundation of clinical, technical, and computational talent capable of fostering early-stage life science innovations,” said Dr Basil Lui, founding partner of Singapore-based August Global Partners, which has a stake in the company. “However, transforming into a prominent regional hub requires companies to successfully scale beyond domestic borders.” Gene Solutions joins a handful of Vietnamese companies exploring offshore listings as they seek broader investor bases. Ride-hailing operator Green and Smart Mobility JSC , known as GSM, said last year it was considering an overseas IPO that could value the company at roughly $20 billion. Vingroup ’s electric vehicle maker VinFast started trading on the Nasdaq in August 2023.

Devrimb/iStock via Getty Images Nebius Group N.V. ( NBIS ) has had an incredible run in the last year. The AI data center company has fired on all cylinders, turning the business into a neocloud powerhouse without taking on massive debt so far. My investment thesis remains ultra bullish on the stock as the company remains in the early stages of a major boost to the business. Finviz Still Early Days Nebius started off 2025 slumping to nearly $20, and the stock has now soared to $231 for a gain topping 1,000% off the lows. The natural assumption is that the stock must now be extremely expensive. Investors need to understand the business is now on the path to generating revenues equivalent to the current market cap approaching $60 billion. In addition, the company owns $4.5 billion of ClickHouse and has a promising autonomous business in Avride, among other investments. The AI cloud stock has soared to record highs above $230 due to the plans to expand contracted power. Nebius announced the company has now reached 3.5 GW of contracted power and increased the goal to a whopping 4+ GW by year-end, smashing the original goal for only 3 GW. Nebius Q1'26 shareholder letter The company broke ground on the new 1.2 GW facility outside Kansas City and now plans a 1.2 GW data center in Pennsylvania, along with possibly the biggest data center in Europe at 310 MW . Previously, Nebius had signed a deal with Nvidia ( NVDA ) to deploy 5 GW of power by 2030, and the actual numbers appear headed towards crushing those estimates. Nebius continues to forecast roughly 1 GW in connected power by year-end with a $9 billion ARR target. The new forecast for 4 GW of contracted power would amount to ~$36 billion in ARR under the same revenue assumptions. The recent Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) deal with xAI, owned by SpaceX ( SPCX ), for $45 billion in AI cloud services over a 3-year term suggests Nebius might have plenty of upside to the general projection for 1 GW of capacity equating to $9 billion ...
