Dear all, After we spent the day trying to figure out where AI compute would sit over the next 10 years, Oracle blessed us with a powerful datapoint: Half a trillion dollar RPOs. We pulled out a note overnight digging into what we learnt last night and confronting it to our deep understanding of the current AI infrastructure landscape. Very interesting findings emerged, follow the link below for details.
Broadcom disclosed last week a $10bn AI rack order for 2H26 (widely linked to OpenAI) and signaled growth in their AI division could accelerate further in 2027. In this note, we break down what this could mean for the ASIC vs. GPU battle and the future structure of the AI compute market, looking in particular at the addressable market of in-house ASICs.
Last week we attended the 2025 edition of the Hot Chips conference, still the place to be for investors who want to understand chip architecture and how it can impact competitive dynamics. We followed presentations on datacenter XPUs, system-scale integration, and full-stack innovation, by Microsoft, Google, Meta, Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Broadcom, Marvell, Huawei, and others. Ping us for slide packs if you want the full primary material.
