Chipmaking giant Nvidia has surpassed Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable company in a race to take over the market for artificial intelligence.

Its shares soared 3.5% to $135.58, pushing its market capitalization to $3.34 trillion only days after surpassing Apple.

Stocks rose around 180% this year, as opposed to the increase of about 19% in Microsoft shares, as Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Google-owner Alphabet are competing to establish their AI-computing capabilities and dominate the field.
