Super Micro Computer and Dell Technologies are building an AI factory for xAI.
Elon Musk just revealed Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ: SMCI) and Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE: DELL) as providers of servers to xAI – his artificial intelligence startup committed to building a supercomputer. Shares of both hardware firms are gaining on Thursday.
A confirmation from Elon Musk that he's using technology from Dell Technologies and Super Micro Computer in a supercomputer for his artificial intelligence company xAI sent shares of the two technology names higher on Thursday.
"Dell is assembling half of the racks that are going into the supercomputer that xAI is building," Musk said, adding that Super Micro will also be involved.
Dell (DELL) shares, which have gained 10% over the past two trading sessions, remain in focus on Thursday after Elon Musk said Wednesday that his artificial intelligence (AI) startup xAI will use the hardware giant's server racks to build its supercomputer.
Dell experienced year-over-year revenue growth in its fiscal first quarter, but gross margin declined. The company's sales are growing thanks to the success of its AI-optimized hardware.
It's safe to say Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) has done the impossible. The company went from a $2 trillion market capitalization to $3 trillion in just 96 days, a little over a financial quarter.
Nvidia has become expensive following its stunning rally, which is why investors hunting for cheaper options could consider looking at these names. The growing demand for AI-powered computers and servers will drive a nice turnaround at one of these technology specialists.
Elon Musk has confirmed that Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) is assembling half of the racks for the supercomputer that his AI startup, xAI, is building to power the next version of its AI chatbot, Grok.

Dell introduced a new hybrid work policy to get workers back to the office in February. Nearly half the company's full-time US staff have chosen to stay remote, data seen by BI shows.
Rising demand for artificial intelligence servers has powered huge gains for the stock. Morgan Stanley's lead analyst covering Dell thinks the share price can continue to climb.
