Etched: Shipping a Rack, Not a Card

New Intel: Etched is building a water-cooled rack with its own RDMA fabric, collectives library, and Nsight-equivalent profiler. Their competitor is a DGX pod, which means the sales motion will look more like Supermicro than like selling cards to developers.

APAC And LATAM Are The Actual Distribution Wedge

New Intel: Manus is building dedicated country GTM leadership in Japan and Brazil with localized content and creator capacity behind it.

The $32B Print Sets An IPO Floor Problem

New Intel: Ramp's $32B mark needs a friendly fintech IPO window to hold. Public comps trade at 3 to 8x revenue, and Ramp is at roughly 32x. Watch for S-1 chatter in late 2026. If the window shuts, the next round is structured, not flat.
