Today: Nvidia liefert starke Zahlen | Social-Media-Sucht: Metas 18-Milliarden-Vergleich

On Wednesday evening, the chipmaker unveiled its second-quarter results, revealing that its revenue had doubled to $96.2 billion by the end of July compared to the previous year. Analysts had anticipated a lower figure. Nvidia anticipates a revenue of $108 billion for the third quarter.

What these changes entail and what impact this agreement could have on Instagram and Facebook users worldwide is explained by Thomas Jahn, the Co-Team Leader for Tech at Handelsblatt.
