Gamers will appreciate four HDMI inputs (two of which support 120Hz), an automatic gaming mode, and compatibility with Freesync Premium Pro. CNET's Ty Pendlebury particularly shouted out the low input lag on the Pro Series, noting that it has some of the best response times that CNET's team has seen in competing TVs recently.
Picture quality-wise, the Roku Pro Series is pretty mid — this just isn't the punchiest combination of vibrant colors and deep blacks you'll find on a TV in this price range. However, the full array of local dimming zones and mini quantum dots at least promise to provide snappier color than any old LED TV you may be trying to get rid of. For scenery-heavy new releases like Atomfall or Mario Kart World, that'll be crucial for the playing experience.

Amazon's AI Ambitions Are Growing: Can the Cloud Provider Deliver?

Amazon's AMZN AI strategy is gaining momentum with a substantial $10 billion commitment to expand cloud computing infrastructure in North Carolina, signaling the company's aggressive push to capture AI market share. This investment aims to support AI and cloud computing technologies while creating 500 high-skilled jobs, reflecting Amazon's broader infrastructure expansion to meet surging AI investment comes as Amazon Web Services (AWS) demonstrates strong performance, posting 17% year-over-year growth in the first quarter and reaching a $117 billion annualized revenue run rate. AWS operating income increased to $11.5 billion from $9.4 billion in the prior year period. More significantly, Amazon's AI business segment now operates at a multi-billion-dollar annual revenue run rate with triple-digit percentage growth year over year. Our model estimate for AWS operating income in fiscal 2025 is pegged at $44.6 billion, indicating 12.1% growth year over strategy centers on custom silicon development, particularly its Trainium 2 chips, which offer 30-40% better price performance compared to GPU-based instances. The company has also expanded its AI model offerings through Amazon Bedrock and introduced services like Amazon Nova foundation capacity constraints remain a challenge. Amazon has indicated that AI demand currently outpaces available capacity, suggesting the company could drive higher revenues with additional infrastructure. The North Carolina investment represents a critical step toward addressing this supply-demand imbalance while positioning Amazon to compete effectively in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Microsoft MSFT Azure reported 31% revenue growth in its latest quarter, outpacing Amazon's 17% AWS growth. Microsoft continues investing heavily in OpenAI partnerships and custom AI infrastructure. Microsoft's cloud revenues reached approximately $28 billion in third quarter fiscal 2025, demonstrating strong momentum in enterprise AI ORCL has also accelerated its cloud infrastructure investments, though from a smaller base than Microsoft or Amazon. Oracle's partnership strategy with NVIDIA and focus on AI workloads position it as an emerging competitor in specialized AI infrastructure markets, challenging both Microsoft and Amazon's dominance in enterprise cloud services.

Will Amazon's robot delivery ambitions pay off?

-- Bank of America analysts suggest that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s burgeoning ambitions in robot delivery could yield "billions in savings," despite acknowledging significant hurdles. The e-commerce giant is reportedly exploring the use of humanoid robots for package delivery, with internal testing already underway. According to a report cited by BofA, Amazon is designing "an indoor obstacle course for humanoid robots" to train them for package delivery. They note that a report indicates the robots could eventually "ride in the back of Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) vans before leaping out to deliver packages." While Amazon is developing the AI software, it is expected to "test several third-party hardware solutions," with one Unitree robot estimated at around $16,000 per unit. If successful, BofA notes there could be a "large financial incentive [for Amazon] to automate." However, BofA cautions that there are still "several hurdles likely to overcome." Similar to autonomous vehicles, they expect "several years of testing before trials could begin." Obtaining regulatory approval on a local basis would also be a challenge, limiting rapid geographic expansion. Furthermore, "consumer acceptance of robot delivery would likely take time," with BofA believing it would be "much easier to automate internal processes than external." Despite these challenges, BofA maintains its Buy rating on Amazon, anticipating a substantial long-term opportunity. Their analysis estimates that "robotics in delivery could drive over $7.1bn in annual savings by 2032," not including potential savings from humanoids. BofA also sees "leading robotics infrastructure" enabling Amazon to potentially move its first-party operations to profitability as a low-cost provider and further improve third-party shipping margins, ultimately driving its long-term retail margin opportunity to 11%.
