A roundup of tech industry news from Chuangyebang:

Nvidia: Madison Huang, Jensen Huang's elder daughter, married 35-year-old Nico Caprez, who leapfrogged to VP of Global AI Infrastructure Growth in January — running data center ops, Neocloud services, and a financing platform targeting $500B+ in capital mobilization. A former Swiss national alpine ski team member, he joined Nvidia less than two years ago.
Musk's chip push: Musk confirmed his companies will independently build and operate the Terafab fab in Texas to supply Tesla and SpaceX AI, ruling out TSMC as an operator; only leasing of part of the site is under discussion. Intel's CEO says cooperation continues.
India setback: Musk blames monopolistic local forces for blocking Starlink; Tesla has sold only 1,000 cars in India 15 months after opening its first showroom.
SK Group: Chairman Chey Tae-won says chip demand is surging and the planned Gwangju fab (about two-thirds the size of the Yongin project) should start ASAP, regardless of cost.
Apple: Facing surging memory chip costs, Apple cut component orders for iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max by at least 15% this month, with some suppliers reporting 15–20% cuts.
PCs: IDC preliminary data shows Q3 2026 global PC shipments of 62.7M units, down 20.1% YoY — a second consecutive quarterly decline with a much steeper drop.
