The Newest Artificial Intelligence Stock Has Arrived -- and It Claims to Make Chips That Are 20x Faster Than Nvidia

A start-up called Cerebras claims its chips are more powerful than Nvidia's GPUs.

Over the past three years, Nvidia ( NVDA 0.86% ) evolved from a niche semiconductor player into the most valuable company in the world . The catalyst behind its meteoric rise can be summed up in three letters: GPU .
