Nvidia is adding some more power to its cloud gaming platform

In case you hadn’t heard, Nvidia’s for gamers again (as long as you ignore its data center business).

On Monday, the chipmaker announced updates to its cloud gaming platform GeForce Now, including news that its remote gaming PCs will utilize Nvidia’s popular, high-powered Blackwell GPUs.

Nvidia is also launching an update called “Install-to-Play” that it says will double the size of its game library. A caveat: players will either have to download the game every time they play or fork over an extra monthly fee for persistent storage. Nvidia said the updates will roll out next month.

In its first quarter, Nvidia’s gaming revenue reached a record $3.8 billion — dwarfed by its data center business, but by itself in line with sales totals of companies like Dr Pepper or Royal Caribbean.

Ford dips as another large fire breaks out at the New York Novelis aluminum plant

Shares of US auto giant Ford are down more than 2% on Thursday morning following reports of another major fire at its primary aluminum supplier’s plant in Oswego County, New York.

Local media reported that a four-alarm fire broke out at the Novelis plant, which supplies 40% of the aluminum sheet for the US auto industry, on Thursday morning.

Last month, Ford said a September fire at the plant would hit its earnings by between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in the fourth quarter. The company said it would be able to mitigate about $1 billion of that next year.

As of 10:15 a.m. ET, local officials said the fire is under control and everyone had been safely evacuated. Novelis previously said it would be able to restart operations at the part of the plant most damaged by the September fire next month.

Ford partners with Amazon to sell its used vehicles online

Beginning today, many Amazon shoppers can add a pre-owned Ford to cart.

The partnership, announced by the two companies on Monday, will begin in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Seattle, with plans to expand.

According to Ford, every vehicle sold through Amazon will have been “inspected, reconditioned, and comes with a Ford warranty, Ford Rewards points, and in some cases, a money-back guarantee.”

Shares of used car retailers Carvana and CarMax dipped in early trading on the news. Similar patterns occurred when Amazon Autos announced a partnership with Hyundai late last year, and another with rental giant Hertz in August.
