Serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur Andrew Feldman , who literally grew up on the campus of Stanford University, was already involved in selling three companies and taking another public. But none of that compares with Thursday’s debut of his AI-chip manufacturer. Shares of Cerebras Systems Inc. , a company he co-founded in 2015, soared about 72% in Nasdaq trading at 3 p.m. in New York. It’s the year’s biggest initial public offering and gives the company a market value of roughly $69 billion. Read More: AI Chipmaker Cerebras Surges 81% After Year’s Biggest IPO That put Feldman’s stake at $3.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , which is valuing his fortune for the first time. Co-founder Sean Lie’s holding, meanwhile, is worth $1.7 billion. “Pretty good day, huh?” Feldman, 56, the company’s chief executive officer, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “It’s one of the biggest tech IPOs in history, and it’s the biggest semi IPO in history. We couldn’t be more proud.” AI chipmakers have been among the hottest stocks since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, with Nvidia Corp. the clear market leader. The company has soared to become the world’s largest by market value, while making its co-founder, Jensen Huang , the seventh-richest person globally with a $186.7 billion fortune. Cerebras is differentiating itself from incumbents like Nvidia through its development of a much larger chip that promises faster performance than those that have so far been the backbone of AI development. Engineering constraints have long limited chipmakers’ pursuit of size: As chips gets physically larger, the energy needed to power them can also potentially damage them. Cereberas’ chips — about the size of a sheet of printer paper — have proven popular for inference tasks, or the process of running AI models as opposed to training them. “There’s just an extraordinary demand right now for fast inference,” Feldman said in the BTV interview. “As AI becomes useful,...
The tourist and ski resort town of Lake Tahoe must scramble to find a new energy supplier by May 2027—the result of a Nevada utility company saying it needs the power capacity in part for new data centers. The resulting energy crisis impacts 49,000 California residents who live near Lake Tahoe, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the border between California and Nevada. Lake Tahoe’s local e...
The tourist and ski resort town of Lake Tahoe must scramble to find a new energy supplier by May 2027—the result of a Nevada utility company saying it needs the power capacity in part for new data centers. The resulting energy crisis impacts 49,000 California residents who live near Lake Tahoe, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the border between California and Nevada. Lake Tahoe’s local electricity provider, California-based Liberty Utilities, has been obtaining 75 percent of its power from the Nevada-based company NV Energy. But the latter has said it will stop providing power to the Lake Tahoe region by May 2027, according to extensive reporting by Fortune . Nevada's fast-growing data center development is one of the main reasons given by NV Energy for ending its energy supply agreement with Liberty, according to a Liberty filing with California regulators. Fortune highlighted data from NV Energy’s own planning documents showing that a dozen data center projects in northern Nevada could drive 5,900 megawatts of new demand by 2033.

Amid reports that Apple ( AAPL ) has a preliminary agreement with Intel's ( INTC ) foundry operations, a widely watched analyst said the deal may be skewed towards the iPhone. The deal likely focuses on “low-end, legacy” chips for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac and will use Intel's 18A-P series manufacturing process, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a post on X, adding that they will use Foveros packaging. And given that Apple's sales still skew in favor of the iPhone, Kuo believes the order mix is roughly 80% focused on the iPhone, “mirroring Apple's end-device sales mix.” The two companies are working together, with small-scale testing taking place this year, with a ramp likely to come in 2027 and 2028, before declining in 2029. The iPhone maker is also “actively evaluating” Intel's other advanced-node technologies, Kuo added. Delving deeper, Kuo said it's still unclear when Intel's foundry operations, which have struggled for years, can begin mass production and start shipping products for other companies at scale. The company is targeting a yield for next year at between 50% and 60%, and then ultimately moving higher. By comparison, the yield for Taiwan Semiconductor's ( TSM ) advanced 2 nm node is north of 70%, according to some estimates . As such, Apple is still likely to heavily rely on Taiwan Semiconductor for the vast majority of its chip production needs, perhaps to the tune of 90% or more, Kuo added. However, Apple has also recognized that Taiwan Semiconductor is likely to continue to tilt towards artificial intelligence processors, given the continued spending boom .
