By the close, Nvidia led again at $5.094 trillion against Apple's $5.074 trillion. Apple's iPhone Duo, priced from $1,999 to $3,199, sold out quickly, with deliveries slipping into late January. Yahoo Finance links the move to AI financing worries: Meta's off-balance-sheet spending plans of $825 billion, a $100 billion Tesla chip plant estimate, and SK Hynix pausing a spin-off IPO. Apple reports on November 2.\n**Why it matters:** Some investors appear to be shifting from AI chip names toward Apple's hardware cash flows as financing and capex worries grow.\nSources: [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/apple-just-passed-nvidia-world-111537504.html), [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/article/apples-new-hardware-push-is-meeting-ai-worried-investors-at-the-right-moment-100000062.html)\n## Barchart contrasts Nvidia's GPU platform with Broadcom's custom silicon\nBarchart compares the two main ways to buy AI data center hardware. Nvidia sells a flexible computing platform built on software many AI developers already use. Broadcom works with a smaller group of large buyers to design custom accelerators, and also sells networking components and software. The article says Nvidia's AI data center revenue grew 117% last quarter while Broadcom's grew 221%. The open question it poses is whether custom chips will take enough business from general-purpose GPUs to reshape the profit pool, or whether demand will let both models keep growing.\n**Why it matters:** The split between GPUs and custom accelerators determines which chip suppliers capture the next wave of data center spending.\nSources: [Barchart.com](https://www.barchart.com/story/news/8413009/nvidia-vs-broadcom-one-grew-ai-revenue-221-last-quarter-the-other-grew-117)\n## Finnish officials halt two Google data center sites over tree clearing\nThe Guardian reported on October 22 that Google cleared about 816 acres near Muhos in northern Finland, with an estimated 250,000 trees felled, before it had full approval. Finnish law requires an Environmental Impact Assessment before large-scale work. Officials suspended development at two Google data center sites to assess the impact. Residents describe wolves entering a village 50 miles away, streams turning brown and concerns about noise.\n**Why it matters:** Permitting and environmental compliance are becoming real schedule risks for hyperscalers racing to add data center capacity.\nSources: [New York Post](https://nypost.com/2026/10/24/business/google-illegally-tore-down-250k-trees-for-finland-data-center-infuriating-locals-report/)\n## Data behind the stories\n\nNvidia closed at $210.96 on October 23, down 0.59% on the day and down 6.06% over about one month.
