OpenAI Is Building Its Own AI Chip With Broadcom. Should Nvidia Investors Be Worried?
Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of chipmaker Nvidia ( NVDA 1.42% ) have been the purest way to bet on the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. So when one of its largest customers shows up with a chip of its own, investors pay attention. On June 24, OpenAI and Broadcom ( AVGO 3.39% ) pulled the wrapper off Jalapeño, OpenAI's first custom AI chip. Designed by the maker of ChatGPT and built with Broadcom, it's the first piece of a sweeping plan the two unveiled last fall to deploy 10 gigawatts of OpenAI-designed accelerators between the second half of 2026 and the end of 2029. Headlines billed it as a direct strike at Nvidia. So should Nvidia investors be worried? A measured yes -- but probably less than the headlines suggest. Broadcom's custom-silicon business is booming, and the numbers are hard to ignore.
AI 시장 분석
OpenAI and Broadcom unveiled their first custom AI chip, 'Jalapeño', and announced plans to deploy 10 gigawatts of OpenAI-designed accelerators from the second half of 2026 through the end of 2029. The entry of large AI customers into self-designed hardware intensifies competition for Nvidia (NVDA), but Broadcom's manufacturing capabilities, OpenAI's workload-optimized design, and NVDA's software ecosystem limit the prospect of an immediate disruption. In the near term, custom ASIC designers and manufacturers, Broadcom (AVGO), data-center infrastructure, foundries and OSATs in the supply chain are expected to benefit; in the long term, the move poses downside risk to NVDA's GPU demand growth.
상승 영향
- Custom AI chip (ASIC) design & manufactu — OpenAI's Jalapeño and the 10 gigawatts deployment plan validate demand for customer-specific ASICs, driving revenue growth for design and manufacturing firms.
- Broadcom (AVGO) — custom silicon busines — Broadcom's role as the manufacturing partner should support AVGO's custom chip business expansion and broaden its high-margin product portfolio.
- Data-center hardware (servers, power, co — A large accelerator deployment will increase demand for servers and power and cooling infrastructure, boosting related hardware and infrastructure sales.
- Foundries & OSAT (contract manufacturing — Mass production of Jalapeño will raise demand for contract manufacturing and test/packaging, benefiting foundries like TSMC and OSAT providers.
하락 영향
- GPU manufacturers (centered on Nvidia, N — OpenAI's in-house chip and large deployment plan could reduce OpenAI's purchases of Nvidia GPUs, exerting downside pressure on NVDA's GPU demand growth.
