Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has now filled out its lineup of Blackwell-based gaming graphics cards with the unveiling of the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. Two variants of the RTX 5060 Ti are available now, priced at $379 and $429, while the cheaper $299 RTX 5060 goes on sale in May. Nvidia faces plenty of competition in the mainstream and budget portions of the graphics card market, not only from AMD, but also from Intel.

To the relief of anyone with an aging iPhone, the Trump administration exempted smartphones, computers, and other tech products from its punishing tariffs on Chinese imports over the weekend. While Apple (AAPL -0.30%) has geographically diversified its supply chain, the company still relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing partners for its devices. Absent any special treatment, prices in the U.S. on Apple products would have likely risen substantially due to the tariffs.

Intel (INTC 2.91%) announced on Monday that it had agreed to sell a 51% stake in Altera, the FPGA specialist it acquired in 2015, to investment firm Silver Lake. While Intel will retain a 49% stake in the company, it will relinquish operational control as Altera becomes an independent, pure-play FPGA provider. Intel acquired Altera nearly a decade ago as part of a plan to capture more spending in the data center. That plan has largely been a failure.

As the stock market swings wildly thanks to erratic, unpredictable, and potentially economically damaging tariff policies from the Trump administration, predicting anything in the near term about stocks has become next to impossible. For long-term investors, focusing on solid companies that can make it through a severe economic storm is likely the best approach for now.
