Here’s When Nividia’s Dominance Fades, Opening Broadcom’s Era of Dominance
NVIDIA (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) reported strong AI-driven earnings. NVDA's revenue rose 105.8% YoY, with data center revenue up 117%. AVGO's AI semiconductor revenue grew 221% YoY. AVGO claims its TPU v8i matches NVDA's Vera Rubin at half the cost, with $230B in AI supply commitments by 2028. AVGO trades at a lower forward P/E (18) than NVDA (23).
