Episode notes
Apple Moving Mac Mini Production To Houston
- Apple will shift some Mac mini production from Asia to a Houston facility starting later this year as part of a recent U.S. investment push.
- The Houston site includes a training center and promises thousands of jobs, though Apple has historically missed some investment follow-throughs.
Panasonic Outsources TV Business To Skyworth
- Panasonic handed global TV manufacturing, marketing, and sales of Panasonic-branded TVs to China's Skyworth while retaining R&D and quality roles.
- The deal reflects Panasonic's decade-long retreat from TVs as South Korean and Chinese firms dominate the market.
Meta's Big GPU Deal With AMD
- Meta agreed to buy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs and may get up to a 10% equity stake via 160 million shares tied to shipment milestones starting H2 2026.
- The deal widens Meta's chip partnerships and aims to lessen NVIDIA dependence, but raises market-demand risk.
