Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Expands AI Portfolio with 20+ Systems Optimized for Nvidia RTX Pro 6000

We recently published a list of 15 AI Stocks Surging on News and Analyst Ratings. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) stands against other AI stocks that are surging on news and analyst ratings.

According to an analysis by global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, data centers are projected to require $6.7 trillion in capital expenditures worldwide by 2030 to keep up with the demand for compute power.

Those data centers that are equipped to handle AI processing loads are projected to require $5.2 trillion in capital expenditures. Meanwhile, those powering traditional IT applications are projected to require $1.5 trillion, totaling up to a staggering figure close to $7 trillion.

The report further claims that the companies that anticipate compute power demand and invest accordingly will win the AI-driven computing era. By proactively securing critical resources such as land, materials, energy capacity, and computing power, they would have the potential to gain a significant competitive edge.

Different analysts seem to have differing perspectives on this $7 trillion figure. Wes Cummins, CEO of Applied Digital, believes that the $7 trillion estimate appears to be “on the high end.”

“If we’re talking just the next five years, I think that’s a hard number to hit, just from the practicality of building and finding enough power.”

On the other hand, Steven Lim from NTT Global Data Centers asserted that the large figure is not that far-fetched.

“If we have an idealized situation and a consistent demand curve that we see today, then $7 trillion is not out of bounds.”

While the opinions on the feasibility of this estimate may vary, one thing that is clear is that the race to build AI-ready infrastructure is accelerating. As the demand for compute power surges to new heights, the ability to scale efficiently will determine which companies will lead the AI era and which ones will fall behind.

For this article, we selected AI stocks by going through news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. These stocks are also popular among hedge funds. The hedge fund data is as of Q4 2024.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…
