CLAIM #7865 · Broadcom Inc (AVGO) · 2024Q3 earnings call · Sep 5, 2024 · due Sep 5, 2026
“It's an accelerating curve. It may take longer than we all want it to happen but definitely accelerating because the size of those -- and the size of the demand from those hyperscalers will totally rival that in the enterprise.”
Hock Tan · CEO
How to check this claim
Look at: Broadcom AI/custom silicon (XPU) revenue from hyperscaler customers compared to enterprise (non-AI) semiconductor revenue
It came true if: Hyperscaler/custom ASIC-driven AI revenue grows to a size approximately equal to (rivaling) enterprise semiconductor revenue, as described in management commentary
Where: Company-disclosed segment revenue and management commentary on quarterly earnings calls (AVGO 10-K/10-Q and earnings call transcripts)
In context
“se few hyperscalers, platform guys will create their own if they haven't already done it and start to train them on the large language models. And that is, yes, you're right, they will on go in that direction totally into ASIC or, as we call it, XPUs, custom silicon. Meanwhile, there's still a market for in enterprise for merchant silicon. Edward Snyder: Right. But that basically suggests that you're on the early part of your curve where I'm not trying to call the GPUs whatever, but you could be getting to something closer to the peak of the GPU market just because everything, right, beside the cost expense and as you're spending all this money and you're paying all this money for power, the ASICs become more and more attractive. So the curves are going to look different, right? Hock Tan: It's an accelerating curve. It may take longer than we all want it to happen but definitely accelerating because the size of those -- and the size of the demand from those hyperscalers will totally rival that in the enterprise.
