Description
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has propelled significant growth in the GPU market. In the evolving data center landscape, Company X faces challenges due to its lag in entering the GPU market, which jeopardizes its competitive advantage against industry players like Nvidia and AMD. To address these issues, our thesis aims to analyze market dynamics between CPUs and GPUs-whether they present distinct markets or compete against each other. We seek to guide Company X in maximizing profitability and sustaining its pivotal role in the semiconductor industry amidst the AI revolution. Specifically, we discuss optimizing their GPU offering, Falcon Shores, towards specific markets and doubling down on the production of CPUs.

Description
This paper examines the decreasing affordability of single-family residential homes across the United States, with a special emphasis on Maricopa and Pinal County, Arizona. A historical analysis was conducted on the single-family residential property sector utilizing Federal Reserve and local government data. An affordability model is developed to demonstrate income thresholds needed to afford a median priced home in Maricopa and Pinal County, while a factor model is developed to predict the economic shifts needed to rectify this issue. My findings suggest that single-family homes have reached peak prices and are not affordable for the average American, based on median income. This housing crisis is the result of many economic factors, including but not limited to: below-average homebuilding, the lock-in effect, excessively cheap monetary policy, mortgages rates, and housing inflation. This is an unprecedented time in our nation’s history, placing tremendous pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and Congress to tackle this issue. A closing recommendation will discuss the outlook for the single family residential sector.
