NVIDIA's Multi-Billion-Dollar Moves to Expand AI | Tech Field Day News Rundown: September 24, 2025

Author: Tech Field Day September 24, 2025 Duration: 23:42

NVIDIA is doubling down on AI dominance with massive investments across cloud, chips, and infrastructure. It struck a $6.3B deal with CoreWeave to secure long-term GPU demand, is investing $5B in Intel to co-develop custom CPUs and PC chips that pair Intel processors with NVIDIA GPUs, and is committing up to $100B with OpenAI to build data centers requiring 10 gigawatts of power. These moves lock in demand, expand NVIDIA’s role across computing ecosystems, and cement its leadership in the race to scale global AI infrastructure. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Alastair Cooke and guest host Scott Robohn.

Every Friday, Tom Hollingsworth, Alastair Cooke, and Stephen Foskett gather to sort through the constant stream of announcements, mergers, and debates that define the information technology landscape. Their Tech Field Day News Rundown isn't just a headline recap; it's a conversational dissection where industry veterans apply decades of hands-on experience to separate genuine innovation from mere hype. You'll hear them debate the practical implications of a new chip architecture, unpack the real cost of a cloud service change, or trace how a security flaw might ripple through enterprise networks. The discussion is grounded, often witty, and always aimed at the professionals who build and maintain the systems we all rely on. This weekly podcast from Tech Field Day provides the essential context behind the news, turning a simple rundown into a valuable tool for understanding where technology is truly headed. It’s like sitting in on a Friday afternoon debrief with colleagues who’ve seen it all, making the complex world of IT feel a bit more manageable and a lot more interesting.
