Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says Chip Sales Could Double Next Year—If the Supply Chain Can Keep Up

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says Chip Sales Could Double Next Year—If the Supply Chain Can Keep Up

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang forecasted doubling chip sales next year, but the company's CFO frames this as the supply-unconstrained scenario, signaling that supply chain capacity—not demand—is the real constraint. Nvidia and Palantir announced a collaboration to apply AI to Nvidia's own supply chain operations to identify bottlenecks and allocate materials more effectively.

  • 01Nvidia's doubling forecast depends on supply chain throughput, not demand—the company itself is supply constrained according to CFO Colette Kress.
  • 02Nvidia and Palantir said their first sovereign AI deployment for Nvidia’s operations is designed to spot supply constraints earlier and improve how materials are allocated across production.
  • 03Enterprise buyers should plan for competitive allocation pressure, higher networking and infrastructure costs alongside GPU spending, and the emergence of on-premises architectures as first-class options.

Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third led a strategic investment in Payload, Priority Commerce agreed to acquire IntelliPay, and CSI acquired Qolo in a series of summer transactions, PYMNTS reported. Together, the deals point to buyers valuing payments technology already integrated into the software customers use, not just standalone processing capacity. For operators, that means the entity holding payment data can change hands without the front-end software changing.

  • 01BCG says SaaS providers with integrated payments accounted for 36% of small and midsize business acquiring revenue in 2024 and projects that share will reach 45% by 2028.
  • 02Finance and IT leaders using property, practice management or utility billing platforms should reread payments and data clauses, since the entity holding payment data can change hands even if the software front end does not.

System integrators shape whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

System integrators shape whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

Smart Industry’s Sept. 9, 2026 piece argues plant technology creates no business value until system integrators fit it into existing systems, operations and workflows. Related summer coverage highlights upskilling, institutional knowledge and technician demand alongside the same integration-and-deployment theme. The framing shifts attention from which platform to buy to who implements it and how the engagement is scoped.

  • 01Smart Industry's framing moves the buying question from which platform to license to who integrates it and how that engagement is scoped, which puts the system integrator line item at the center of the return rather than in implementation overhead.
  • 02Gartner figures cited by Quality Magazine show 24% of industrial enterprises using IoT have implemented digital twins and 42% plan to, suggesting most IoT-using plants still have digital twin integration work ahead.
  • 03The Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute report, as covered by Smart Industry, says AI can embed skills into workflows to address technician demand; the sharper question for a plant manager is whether that changes headcount or changes what each technician can cover.
