The Supreme Court seems likely to keep alive a class-action lawsuit accusing Nvidia of misleading investors about its dependence on selling computer chips for the mining of volatile cryptocurrency.

The U.S. Supreme Court scrutinized on Wednesday Nvidia's bid to torpedo a securities fraud lawsuit accusing the artificial intelligence chipmaker of misleading investors about how much of its sales depended on the volatile cryptocurrency market.

The lawsuit alleges the chipmaker hid its dependence on sales to the volatile cryptocurrency market before a crash tanked the value of its stock.

TOKYO (Reuters) -SoftBank's Japanese telecoms unit will receive the first chips using Nvidia's latest Blackwell design for its supercomputer, the California-based chip designer said, as Masayoshi Son looks to ride the artificial intelligence boom.

SoftBank Group Corp. will be the first to build a supercomputer with chips using Nvidia Corp.’s new Blackwell design, a demonstration of the Japanese company’s ambitions to catch up on AI.

SoftBank Group is the first customer to use Nvidia's Blackwell chips, which will be used to develop an artificial intelligence supercomputer in Japan. The companies plan to build the system — which they call Japan's most powerful supercomputer — in early 2025.
