Value Redistribution in Technology Industry

In the technology industry, when a company experiences significant earnings growth, competitors will likely attack its margin to offer similar products at lower prices, better speeds, or with improved features to gain market share. The historical trend shows that economic value tends to move up the stack in the technology industry over time, with Intel's market cap declining as other companies caught up and surpassed them. Currently, there is a push for Silicon Valley to invest in chips and hardware due to the elevated value in these sectors. Speculative investments are being made in companies related to Nvidia, such as AMD and manufacturers of high-performance materials. Additionally, new players are entering the market with funding to develop innovative chips and advancements in technology such as better compilers for various computing environments. This trend could lead to a decline in Nvidia's market share as these emerging companies grow, echoing a 'death by a thousand startups' scenario.
