SMART Global Holdings CEO Mark Adams joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the new $200 million investment in the company, its involvement in the AI sector, and more.
Adams explains the company's competitive edge against bigger names in the space like Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): "The competitive advantage is what I'm referring to is that that kind of software service layer, when the company's names, you just mentioned are traditionally more hardware focused. And if you look at the margin profile of their business and our business, it's just different. By the way, and they're partners of ours. So it's not bad or good. It's just our gross margin is substantially higher because we play in more of a service and software part of the solution."
Adams elaborates on current motivations to invest in AI and an AI infrastructure as companies are still solidifying their proof of concepts:
"I think what's really encouraging for all the ecosystem players is that in these large language models, the number of parameters that run these models are going like triple, quadruple. And so from that perspective, the amount of compute resources and data center resources are going to be substantial. What's interesting right now in the data center space is there's not enough of them with AI power, there's not enough megawatts. So there's a constraint right now on data centers that are enabled to drive AI. And so that's providing a lot of motivation for people to make that investment."

With the massive layoffs coming because of Ai that will lead to extreme poverty and homelessness, maybe the poor will be used as batteries to power the Ai. Neo ?

I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated
