Nvidia's China revenue is suffering big time, as new US export regulations have impacted the chipmaker directly. Bank of America now projected that Nvidia may face a loss of about $15 billion to $20 billion per year in revenue because of the export restrictions, as per a report.As Nvidia gets ready to report earnings on May 28, the increasing China loss is placing further pressure on the company, according to GuruFocus.Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Melius Research, admitted Nvidia's new offerings, such as the newly released GB300 and Vera Rubin chips, are stunning, but he emphasized the company has to develop new ways of expanding rapidly to make up for lost demand in China, as per GuruFocus.Even though Nvidia shares fell 15% this year, analysts continue to be bullish, according to the report. Reitzes highlighted that the AI race is existential for giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet, with demand for Nvidia's chips still high, even as some firms develop custom silicon, as per GuruFocus.While, Bank of America's Vivek Arya called the China situation a "vanishing act" for Nvidia, pointing out that there is a need for hyperscalers to increase their capital spending to bridge the revenue gap, according to the report.Arya also cautioned that the long-term market opportunity for Nvidia's data centre business may have reduced by 20%. Still, Bank of America projects Big Tech capital spending to increase 35% in 2025, according to GuruFocus.As per the report, Nvidia is expected to post $43.12 billion in revenue and 89 cents in EPS for the upcoming quarter.Nvidia's revenue from China is suffering due to tightening US export controls.Bank of America estimates that Nvidia could lose $15 billion to $20 billion annually due to the export restrictions, reported GuruFocus.

In a first, AI beats human champions in drone racing competition in Abu Dhabi

In a huge moment for technology and racing, an AI-powered drone from the Netherlands has beaten some of the world's best human pilots in a real-life racing contest. The race, held in Abu Dhabi over the weekend, was part of the A2RL x DCL Autonomous Drone Championship — a major event focused on pushing the limits of autonomous flight. The AI drone, built by a team from MavLab at TU Delft University, won a direct race against a top human pilot in what organisers say was the most challenging head-to-head drone race ever event was hosted at ADNEC Marina Hall in Abu Dhabi and brought together 14 teams from across the world, including countries like South Korea, Mexico, Canada, Turkey, China, and the UAE. Each team had to rely entirely on artificial intelligence to control their drones — no remotes, no joysticks, and no human pilots. The drones raced at speeds of over 150 km/h through a tricky, winding indoor track filled with wide gates, uneven lighting, and very few visual MavLab's AI drone wasn't just fast — it was smart. It completed two laps of a 170-metre course in only 17 seconds. This was enough to win not just the AI Grand Challenge but also a one-on-one race against a professional human drone racer, who had qualified through the DCL Falcon Cup. The AI drone's win over the human pilot was the most talked-about moment of the All the drones were equipped with the same hardware: a forward-facing camera, a motion sensor, and a Jetson Orin NX computing unit made by NVIDIA. With just this onboard tech, each drone had to make split-second decisions in real time. There was no help from the outside — everything from identifying the course to adjusting speed and direction had to be done by the drone say this was one of the hardest drone races ever attempted. Even the lighting inside the hall and the type of camera used (a rolling shutter camera) made it difficult for the AI systems to perform smoothly. Still, the top teams handled the challenge impressively, showing just how far autonomous technology has event also included other race formats like drag races and multi-drone matches, with teams like TII Racing and MavLab winning big. A STEM programme run alongside the event trained over 100 Emirati students in drone operations, showing the wider impact of this growing this drone race now complete, all eyes are on the next big thing — A2RL's self-driving car racing series, set to return in late 2025 at Yas Marina Circuit.

Nikkei index jumps as chip stocks rally ahead of Sino-US talks
