A key argument in the battle between NVIDIA’s GeForce GPUs and AMD’s Radeon graphics products is that NVIDIA offers superior software support. That’s not necessarily true, though.

A brazen and high-speed robbery hit a collectible store in Southern California, whereby a trio of masked thieves made off with over $100,000 worth of rare Pokémon trading cards and sports memorabilia in a heist that lasted just three minutes.

In a post on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the administration has finally given NVIDIA approval to begin shipping Hopper H200 AI chips to China, though at a higher royalty rate that previously agreed to.
