玩遊戲1080p不用超過8GB VRAM？AMD首席架構師解釋引起網友爭論
最近 AMD 公開旗下最新顯卡 RX 9060 XT，共有 VRAM 8GB 和 16 GB 雙版本，然而 8GB 卻引起討論，認為對如今的遊戲來說，8GB 真的不夠看。同樣在 5 月發售的 NVIDIA RTX 5060 顯示卡，也因為 VRAM 8GB 受到討論。
許多玩家都好奇為什麼如今 2025 年，NVIDIA 和 AMD 卻仍持續推出 8GB 顯示卡。而針對這一現象，Frank Azor 也在個人 X（推特）上回應：「大多數遊戲玩家還在使用 1080p 的解析度，不需要超過 8GB 的 VRAM。」
Majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p and have no use for more than 8GB of memory. Most played games WW are mostly esports games. We wouldn't build it if there wasn't a market for it. If 8GB isn't right for you then there's 16GB. Same GPU, no compromise, just memory…
— Frank Azor (@AzorFrank) May 22, 2025
接著 Azor 說明，目前全球最受歡迎的遊戲，主要是「電子競技類型」。並強調，如果市場上沒有這些需求，AMD 是絕對不會去開發的：「如果 8GB 對你來說不合適，那你也可以選擇 16GB。相同的顯示卡，沒有妥協，只有不同的 VRAM 選項。」
而網友們則是認為，這部分有價錢問題，也有遊戲優化的問題：「現實是，許多 3A 遊戲沒有很好的最佳化」、「1080p 不吃記憶體？你認真？」、「過去 AMD 最大優點就是 VRAM 大，現在你們正在和 NVIDIA 做一樣的事情」有部分網友則是吐槽命名「至少別讓它們都叫 RX 9060 XT 吧」、「8GB 版直接改成 9060 就好，像是上一代」、「這名字很容易讓人混淆」

Better Technology Stock: Nvidia vs. Palantir
Key Points Nvidia is now the most valuable publicly traded company in the world, and all signs point to another great earnings report this month. Palantir Technologies is the fastest-growing company in the S&P 500. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Semiconductor giant Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) kingpin Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) are two of the most compelling technology stocks in the market. Nvidia harnessed demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs) to become the biggest company in the world, with a $4.4 trillion market capitalization. Palantir, meanwhile, is using its artificial intelligence platform to fundamentally change how governments and commercial businesses operate. The stock is up more than 500% in the last year and is the best-performing stock in the S&P 500. In my view, you can't go wrong with either of these tech stocks. But in a one-on-one matchup, which comes out on top? Let's look at both companies before rendering a verdict. Nvidia Nvidia's GPUs are the engine behind this mammoth company. While they used to be best known for providing the graphics in computers, now GPUs are commonly used by companies that are building massive data centers to run artificial intelligence-powered platforms, including large language models needed for generative AI. Nvidia has the lion's share of this business, with Jon Peddie Research estimating that it has roughly 92% of the market share. And as Nvidia is expecting spending on data centers to accelerate from $250 billion in 2023 to $1 trillion annually by 2028, there's a massive opportunity at hand. In addition, major tech companies like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms are spending heavily and are even increasing their capital expenditure spending on their data centers. That's why I'm expecting a solid earnings report from Nvidia when it reports its earnings for the current quarter, and why I'm expecting the stock to pop yet again after the numbers are released. Palantir Technologies Palantir got its start a little more than 20 years ago as a data mining company to provide real-time analytics and insights. As a government contractor, it's long been valued by the military for its analytic technology that helps commanders make real-time decisions in battle. To the public eye, Palantir largely flew under the radar for years until in 2011, when it was credited for helping U.S. forces find and eliminate Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Palantir works by drawing information from many sources, such as satellite imagery. By sifting through and digesting that information, it can perform instantaneous analysis that can help governments function. According to its CEO, Alex Karp, "Palantir was founded on the belief that the United States, its allies, and partners should harness the most advanced technical capabilities for their defense and prosperity." As its capabilities expanded through the launch of its generative AI-powered Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), Palantir is quickly bringing in additional non-military government contracts. It has new contracts with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Department, and the Internal Revenue Service. In the company's just-released second quarter earnings report, U.S. government revenue increased 53% in the last year, reaching $426 million. Commercial revenue is growing even faster, up 93% in the second quarter on a year-over-year basis and reaching $306 million. Clients include Walgreens Boots Alliance, AT&T, General Mills, United Airlines, and others, and Palantir is doing everything from making manufacturing more efficient to managing supply chains and helping companies scale. Palantir closed 157 deals in the second quarter valued at more than $1 million, with 66 of them more than $5 million and 42 of them at least $10 million. As more companies bring Palantir's platform online and share how they are improving their businesses, Palantir's platform will become a must-have for many institutions. The verdict I'm not gonna lie. This is a tough one. I love both of these companies, and I think both are destined to increase. But if I have to choose one, then the valuations of both companies will break the tie. At the time of this writing, Nvidia is richly valued both in its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 59 and its forward P/E of 42, but Palantir comes in at an unhealthy 623 and 288, respectively. The price-to-sales ratio, which compares market capitalization to revenue, is arguably an even more accurate measurement as both of these companies are pouring profits back into the business. And Nvidia is by far the strongest there, too. So, my winner in this hypothetical battle is Nvidia by a nose. But both stocks are great ones to have, and they'll both anchor my portfolio for the foreseeable future. Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now?

Did Nvidia Make a Mistake by Selling SoundHound AI Stock? The Answer Might Surprise You.
Key Points SoundHound AI stock is generating blistering revenue growth right now, as some of the world's biggest brands adopt its conversational artificial intelligence software. Nvidia used to be a SoundHound shareholder, but the chip giant sold its entire stake towards the end of 2024. SoundHound stock is soaring right now, but that doesn't mean Nvidia made the wrong move. 10 stocks we like better than SoundHound AI › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become the world's largest company on the back of surging demand for its data center chips, which are the gold standard for developing artificial intelligence (AI) models. The chip giant occasionally puts its vast financial resources to work by investing in other AI companies, and SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) was one of them. SoundHound is a specialist in conversational AI technologies, and its customers include some of the world's biggest brands. Nvidia first revealed its stake in the company in a 13-F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2024, but the chipmaker had sold its entire position by December. SoundHound's revenue tripled during its most recent quarter, and its stock is up by a whopping 40% in the past month alone. Did Nvidia make a mistake by dumping its position? Read on for the surprising answer. A leader in conversational AI SoundHound's conversational AI applications are popular in a variety of industries, but they are experiencing particularly high demand in quick-service restaurant chains and with automotive brands that want to include a powerful AI assistant in their new vehicles. In the restaurant space, SoundHound's Voice AI technology can accept customer orders autonomously in-store, over the phone, and in the drive-thru. It can also answer queries from employees, whether they need help making menu items or need clarity on a particular store policy. Chains like Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, and Papa John's are just a few of SoundHound's customers. In the automotive industry, companies like Hyundai and Stellantis (Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge) are using SoundHound's Chat AI software in their latest vehicles. It can give drivers information about the weather, stocks, and everything in between with a simple voice command, and manufacturers can customize its personality to suit their brand. Last August, SoundHound acquired another conversational AI specialist called Amelia. The joint companies recently launched a new platform called Amelia 7, which allows businesses to create custom AI agents that can assist customers with their inquiries or even help employees troubleshoot technical issues. Of course, these agents can be controlled entirely with voice commands. SoundHound's revenue is absolutely skyrocketing SoundHound generated a record $42.6 million in total revenue during the second quarter of 2025 (ended June 30), which was a blistering 217% increase from the year-ago period. The strong result gave management the confidence to increase its full-year revenue guidance for 2025 from $167 million to $169 million (at the midpoint of the forecast range), which would be a 99% increase compared to 2024. That would mark an acceleration from the 85% growth SoundHound generated last year, highlighting the significant momentum in its business. But that growth is coming at a significant cost, because SoundHound continues to burn truckloads of cash. It lost $74.7 million on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis during the second quarter, which was twice as much as it lost in the year-ago period. SoundHound did suffer a one-off, $31 million hit to its bottom line from a liability associated with one of its acquisitions during the quarter, but even after stripping it out -- along with every other one-off and non-cash expense -- the company still lost $11.8 million. SoundHound has a solid balance sheet with $230 million in cash on hand and no debt, so it can sustain losses of that size for the foreseeable future. However, the company will eventually have to prioritize profitability, or else it might need to raise capital, which could dilute existing shareholders. Cost cuts would almost certainly dent SoundHound's revenue growth, which is something for investors to keep in mind. Here's why Nvidia didn't make a mistake by selling SoundHound stock Nvidia never told investors why it sold SoundHound stock, but if I had to speculate, I think its valuation likely had something to do with the decision. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is trading at an eye-popping level of 48.6, which is more than a 50% premium to Nvidia's P/S ratio of 29.9. It was even more expensive when Nvidia sold it toward the end of 2024, because its P/S ratio was hovering near 100. SoundHound will quickly grow into its current valuation if its revenue continues to increase at such a blistering pace, but the financial results of companies in the early stages of commercialization are notoriously unpredictable, so there's no guarantee it will. Moreover, Nvidia is one of the highest quality companies in the world with a track record of success that spans decades, a rock-solid balance sheet, and surging profits, so I don't think SoundHound deserves to trade at a premium to the chip giant. Nvidia held 1.73 million SoundHound shares, which would've been worth around $27.7 million at the current price of $16. Given the chip giant's market cap of $4.4 trillion, a total loss would've been a mere rounding error. However, holding a stock with such a steep valuation opens the door to substantial downside if the underlying company falters, so I don't think Nvidia made a mistake by closing its position. Should you invest $1,000 in SoundHound AI right now? Before you buy stock in SoundHound AI, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and SoundHound AI wasn't one of them.

Billionaire fund manager doubles down on Nvidia, partner in AI stack shift
Billionaire fund manager doubles down on Nvidia, partner in AI stack shift originally appeared on TheStreet. When a $70 billion hedge fund manager goes big on Nvidia () , and then pairs it with a multi-billion-dollar bet on its top AI-cloud partner, you can't help but pay attention. On top of that, billionaire Philippe Laffont loaded up on chips and layered in cloud capacity in building a portfolio that's effectively wired for the AI capex super-cycle. 💵💰💰💵 For him, it's much less about chasing the server shipments and more about owning the infrastructure every chatbot or AI model will need. Philippe Laffont: running $70 billion with a tech-first playbook Philippe Laffont runs the show at Coatue Management, which has arguably the most tech-savvy hedge funds out there. A former 'Tiger Cub' under Julian Robertson, Laffont kick-started Coatue in 1999 after graduating from MIT. Fast-forward to 2025, and Coatue is managing north of $70 billion in assets, layering in public-market bets including a ton of private and venture focus has squarely been on innovation that can scale up quickly, whether that's AI, cloud, fintech, or next-generation consumer platforms. For him, it's all about picking businesses that control the infrastructure or IP behind major technological shifts. The play is simple: If you can own the bottleneck, you own the profits. It's exactly why Coatue is a must-watch name when big tech or AI is in play. Philippe Laffont bets big on Nvidia and CoreWeave in Q2 Philippe Laffont's Q2 portfolio offers a clear narrative, indicating a shift from 'boxes' to 'platforms plus cloud capacity.' At the heart of it is AI juggernaut Nvidia. Coatue boosted its stake in the company by roughly a third, taking its holdings to 11.5 million shares as of June a massive 34% jump from Q1, which serves a sharp retort to the chatter that he'd exited his position in the stock. For Laffont and many others, Nvidia's grip on the training-and-inference economy through GPUs, networking, and CUDA is virtually impossible to match. In line with his core thesis, there's Coatue's high-conviction bet on CoreWeave () , Nvidia's premier AI-cloud customer and strategic partner. The fund added a massive 3.39 million shares in Q2, taking its stake to roughly $2.9 billion. Many consider it a play on scarcity, where, in the AI realm, those controlling accelerators and power are able to monetize before the app winners are known. Q2 numbers underscored the point. CoreWeave posted $1.21 billion in sales, expanding its backlog to $30.1 billion, while hiking 2025 guidance despite scale-up losses. More News: JPMorgan drops 3-word verdict on Amazon stock post-earnings Billionaire Bill Ackman floats bold fix for the housing market crisis Goldman Sachs revamps Nvidia stock price target ahead of earnings On top of these bets, Laffont pivoted toward platform and IP. That includes massive new stakes in Oracle (valued at $843 million) and Arm (valued at $749.4 million). Naturally, these new stakes in Oracle and Arm effectively broaden the AI play from semiconductors to software, data, and CPU toll booths. On top of that, it's important to note that Oracle's cloud infrastructure and database stack benefit immensely from GenAI workloads. Similarly, Arm's licensing model efficiently captures upside from custom silicon and edge AI, sidestepping capex cycles. Additionally, in strengthening Coatue's broader AI infrastructure positioning, Laffont loaded up on Broadcom, adding 5.65 million shares (valued at $1.56 billion) from 3.57 million shares. Philippe Laffont's Q2 exit in Super Micro, Monolithic Power points to an AI-focused reset Philippe Laffont's Coatue made multiple cleanups in Q2, stepping back from hardware names that can swing hard with demand cycles. The fund exited Super Micro and Monolithic Power, in a move to trim exposure to the volatility in server manufacturing and power-chip supply chains. Instead, the money is being redeployed toward cloud and platform plays, which offer stronger pricing power and predictable demand visibility. The reshuffling didn't stop there. Coatue added slightly to its TSMC stake, betting that the chip foundry's advanced packaging will remain mission-critical in driving the next leg of demand in AI hardware. Offsetting that, the fund trimmed Amazon, sold out of and took a small cut in Adobe. Other major trims in Q2 included: Alibaba: The fund cut its stake in the Chinese tech giant by 3.8 million shares to 868,000, reflecting an effort to lower exposure to regional risks. Advanced Micro Devices: Coatue slacked its stake by 1.53 million shares from 3.24 million, lowering chip-cycle volatility. Eli Lilly: Cut to just 117,000 shares from 184,000, easing risks tied to high valuations and drug-pipeline hiccups. In short, Q2's moves reflect a reset: The fund reduced its exposure to hardware cycles and volatile geographies, while doubling down on AI infrastructure and platform fund manager doubles down on Nvidia, partner in AI stack shift first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
