Nvidia Stock Today: NVDA Rises as Google Unveils New AI Chips, Still Backs Vera Rubin
Nvidia shares climbed roughly 1.3% in premarket trading Thursday, steadying above $200 despite Alphabet’s Google rolling out its latest line of in-house AI chips. The stock got a lift after Google announced plans to be one of the first cloud providers to offer Vera Rubin NVL72, Nvidia’s upcoming AI server platform. Nvidia shares now serve as a real-time barometer for whether major cloud players are still pouring money into AI hardware. Google’s latest update was a mixed bag. The company’s tensor processing units—TPUs—are more powerful, yet Google made it clear it’s sticking with Nvidia’s top-tier gear as AI work shifts from testing phases to full-scale deployment.
