Record Quarters, Reckonings, and the Comparisons You Asked For

Nvidia's $96.2B quarter, Meta's $17.1B settlement — and six new head-to-heads on StackHK.

📅 Week of Aug 24–30, 2026✓ StackHK News Desk🕒 5 min read

The last week of August delivered the month's biggest numbers — a record chip quarter and a record settlement — while StackHK shipped its biggest content week: six new head-to-head comparisons, thirty upgraded stories, and founder profiles with faces on them.

The Three Stories That Mattered

Nvidia: The Biggest Quarter in Chip History$96.2B revenue, +106% YoY, $442B of market value in a day. Supply, not demand, is now the binding constraint.
Meta's $17.1B ReckoningThe structural remedies matter more than the check: teen defaults, notification limits and supervision tools are now binding terms.
Anthropic Joins the Silicon RaceCustom inference chips confirmed. The economics question isn't the announcement — it's what happens to API pricing when owned capacity lands.

What We Tested This Week

Our biggest testing week of the quarter: Canva vs Figma, Zapier vs Make, Perplexity vs ChatGPT, Midjourney vs Stable Diffusion, ElevenLabs vs VoiceAppear and ClickUp vs Monday — all blind-scored, all published with methodology. Plus real founder photos on the about page, because trust starts with names and faces.

Deal of the Week

Deal of the week: Semrush annual billing at 17% off — verified on their pricing page this week ($139 to $117.33/mo on the SEO plan). It applies automatically at checkout; no code needed.

The month ends how it began: the buildout is compounding, and so is the scrutiny.

One Honest Note
