Investing.com -- Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) valuation rose above $1 trillion after the stock jumped by more than 4% on Tuesday, as a frenzy for artificial intelligence has powered a fresh surge in the chipmaking giant.
The move makes California-based Nvidia only the ninth company to ever top the trillion-dollar mark.
Shares were given a further boost on Monday after Chief Executive Jensen Huang unveiled a new supercomputing platform in a bid to take advantage of a recent scramble to harness AI technology. In a speech in Taiwan, Huang said that a "tipping point" had been reached in computing that will allow "everyone" to become a programmer.
The remarks came after a sharp increase in Nvidia shares over the past week made the firm the world’s most valuable semiconductor manufacturer.
The rally was driven in part by a full-year forecast that blew past expectations, which Nvidia said was thanks to rapidly increasing interest in AI development.
