A Look Back at 20 Tech Predictions for 2019 (Part One)
Summary
Following a better-than-expected Q2 report, Wall Street was comfortable providing Evan Spiegels firm additional funds, and thus the company carried out a $1.1 billion convertible debt offering in August. But as the Alphabet unit gradually expands the limited commercial service it launched in the Phoenix area in late 2018, its also fair to say that Waymo didnt make a leap either. While Tim Cooks company continues working on autonomous driving tech and its CarPlay platform, no indication appeared that some other major automotive project is ongoing. Nvidias (NVDA) $6.9 billion deal to buy high-speed data center interconnect provider Mellanox aims to help address system-to-system bottlenecks for its server GPUs. AMD eventually gave its support to CXL, while also disclosing plans to offer a solution (first set to be used by a giant Department of Energy supercomputer) for pairing its server CPUs and GPUs using its high-speed Infinity Fabric interconnect.
