NVIDIA’s June 2025 Circus: Blackwell Boogaloo, Robo-Assembly Lines & the Shareholder Pajama Party ™

4 Minute Read

 

Because nothing says “the future is here” like humanoid robots screwing in GPUs while day-traders panic-sell from their phones.

NVIDIA has had a busy summer so far, and by “busy,” we mean it’s been juggling more flaming torches than a Vegas magician in a wind tunnel.

Let’s start with the hardware show. After months of teasing and Twitter leaks disguised as “leaks,” NVIDIA finally lobbed its new RTX 5060 series into the market. Starting at a modest $299, the new cards promise “neural rendering” so immersive, you can practically smell the sweat on your ray-traced avatar. And just when you thought you could catch your financial breath, the company followed up in June with the RTX 5050—the so-called “entry-level” Blackwell GPU, complete with 8GB of GDDR6 and a $249 price tag. Naturally, it also requires a small power station to run.

While gamers and AI nerds were lining up to melt their wallets, Wall Street threw one of its classic tantrums. A small dose of reality in NVIDIA’s guidance earlier this year caused a 20% drop in its stock, because apparently anything short of a $4 trillion quarterly forecast is a betrayal. Yet, optimism refuses to die. Rumors are already flying about another stock split following last year’s 10-for-1, because nothing inflates retail morale like having more shares worth the same.

Speaking of morale, shareholders are getting ready for the annual pajama party, also known as NVIDIA’s virtual shareholder meeting, set for June 25. Once again, investors will attend from the comfort of their living rooms, likely debating the ethics of AI while wearing Cookie Monster flannel.

Meanwhile, in the most 2025 news possible, humanoid robots are officially building AI servers now. NVIDIA and Foxconn are setting up a shiny new Houston factory, staffed with bipedal machines tasked with assembling the GB300—Jensen Huang’s latest AI beast. Production kicks off early next year, unless the robots unionize first. The plant is part of a larger campaign to “repatriate” AI hardware manufacturing to the U.S.—a $500 billion bet that Americans will one day proudly say their GPU was made down the road from a Buc-ee’s.

The automotive world hasn’t been left out of the CUDA cult either. General Motors inked a deal to stuff NVIDIA silicon into everything from factory floors to self-driving test beds, proving that even 115-year-old companies want in on the AI gold rush. And let’s not forget Aurora Innovation, which sent its stock on a 35% joyride after announcing an NVIDIA-powered future for its driverless trucks. Autonomous 18-wheelers—what could possibly go wrong?

Over in Europe, the “sovereign AI” buzzword is catching fire. Jensen Huang’s call for every country to build its own national AI stack has found enthusiastic backers in Brussels. NVIDIA is answering with plans for 20 new AI factories across the continent and a shiny new AI cloud for Germany. Because if there’s one thing the EU loves more than regulation, it’s Silicon Valley dependency—just as long as it's neatly localized.

And through all of this, NVIDIA remains the undisputed king of AI model training. Whether it’s Blackwell, Hopper, or Grace, their chips are still dominating benchmarks while competitors make loud noises and hope no one checks the graphs.

So yes, the hype is constant, the stock chart is volatile, and the robots are real. But despite the occasional hiccup, NVIDIA is still the ringmaster of the AI circus—selling the tickets, running the concessions, and now assembling the tents with robots that may or may not have equity packages.

Just keep an eye on those bots. If they start day-trading NVDA, we’re all out of a job.
