Broadcom ($AVGO) vs Nvidia ($NVDA): can custom AI XPUs co-designed with hyperscalers (OpenAI included) steal share from GPU racks? We break down Broadcom’s XPU strategy, Nvidia’s GB300 rack-scale approach, AMD ($AMD) positioning, and what Wall Street models for revenue, EPS, margins, and guidance signal for AI data center growth and power efficiency (tokens per watt).
Key highlights: AVGO’s AI revenue guide to ~$6.2B in Q3 (+66% YoY) after ~$5.2B in Q2, a reported $10B AI rack order for next year, and a fourth XPU customer speculated as OpenAI (“Project Titan”).
• Broadcom AI: Q2 AI revenue ~$5.2B; Q3 guide ~$6.2B (+66% YoY). Management and Street see AVGO’s AI segment growing faster than NVDA’s near term.
• Pipeline: Fourth XPU customer added; Street chatter points to OpenAI; ~$10B AI rack order secured for next year (custom inferencing-leaning design).
• Growth outlook: AVGO top-line modeled ~23% this year and ~32% next; Street has NVDA revenue growth moderating to escroquerie ~17% (FY27), then ~10% (CY28) and ~8% (CY29).
• Competitive frame: NVDA’s GB300 rack-scale systems vs AVGO’s co-designed XPUs for specific workloads (notably inferencing) targeting better power per token amid data-center power-contract constraints.
• AMD check-in: Data sean dyche center growth called out at ~14%—trailing peers; valuation seen more attractive than AVGO but less than NVDA in this discussion.
• Tape action & technicals: Rotation watch—on the referenced Friday bell canada fires employees AVGO +double-digit while NVDA/AMD were lower; AVGO breakout with potential consolidation/pullback zone (low-$300s mentioned).
