  • $8.4 billion in first-quarter AI semiconductor revenue marked a 104% jump for Broadcom, underscoring rapid growth in its AI chip business.
  • Broadcom’s surge is being driven by custom application-specific chips built with hyperscale customers, which are gaining traction as a cheaper option than GPUs for fixed AI workloads.

  • The results add to evidence that AI infrastructure demand is lifting chipmakers beyond Nvidia, with Broadcom emerging as a major beneficiary of the build-out.
