Amid the thunder of Nvidia’s and Broadcom’s triumphs, a quieter current stirs beneath the surface. Both giants have long basked in the sun of data center glory, their revenues swelling like spring floods. Yet the river of artificial intelligence flows elsewhere, carving new paths through the bedrock of innovation.
Two vessels, less heralded but no less vital, sail toward horizons uncharted. Let us trace their course as the tide of AI turns.
Advanced Micro Devices
Advanced Micro Devices, that steadfast companion in the shadow of Nvidia’s luminescence, finds itself at a crossroads where the old and new converge. While training remains a sacred rite of AI’s infancy, inference-silent, ceaseless, and ever-present-whispers of a future where the machine thinks not once, but always.
AMD‘s GPUs, like ancient oaks, have taken root in this new terrain. A titan of industry already leans on their strength, while seven of the realm’s most powerful sovereigns employ their branches. The ROCm platform, once a hesitant traveler, now strides with purpose, its path illuminated not by peak performance, but by the quiet virtues of efficiency and economy.
The UALink Consortium, a pact of open roads, challenges the dominion of Nvidia’s highways. Should it flourish, it may scatter the monopoly’s dominion, offering travelers a choice of routes. Even modest gains, like dewdrops on a spider’s web, could swell into a deluge given AMD’s smaller stature.
The chasm between its revenues and Nvidia’s is vast, yet the horizon glimmers with promise. As inference outgrows training, AMD may yet claim its place in the pantheon of AI’s architects.
Marvell Technology
Marvell, that enigmatic weaver of threads, has long spun its web between the giants. Amazon’s Graviton and Trainium chips, and Microsoft’s Maia, bear the fingerprints of its ingenuity. These are not fleeting encounters, but enduring pacts etched into the fabric of technological evolution.
Yet the path is not without shadows. A five-year bond with AWS, and whispers of other alliances, cast a flickering light on its prospects. When Marvell spoke of the lumpy tides of its custom chip ventures, the market recoiled, as a deer startles at a sudden rustle.
Still, Marvell’s sockets-those small, enduring seeds-take root in the richest soils. Twelve of the world’s largest data centers have embraced its vision, while thirteen more bloom in the XPU Attach market, a forest growing at a rate that defies reason. By 2028, its ambitions may stretch to $94 billion, a harvest sown in the present.
The journey is uneven, like a river winding through valleys, but the currents of custom chips and optical DSPs promise a future where Marvell’s name echoes alongside the titans. In this dance of innovation, it is not the loudest voice that prevails, but the one that listens to the rhythm of change.
