Beyond NVIDIA—perhaps one of the most interesting conversations as we head into the back half of the year. (Long post as quieter days give for thinking time) 🙌🏻 Earlier this week Sequoia Capital published a piece about the $600 Billion challenge with AI. In short, the sell in of infrastructure needs to lead to economic output far beyond where we are today. This is what I am describing as the multi tier network effects of AI beyond the GPU and chip manufacturing (ie TSMC). Going from inward consumption of infrastructure to sell out access to compute and software for AI. 1st network effect: Servers, Memory, Network, Storage such as Dell, Micron, Marvell, Broadcom etc…the companies are providing infrastructure for the enablers. (In devices this will be OEMs as well but a different set of chips provided to device makers and will add more Qualcomm, Apple, Arm, and Intel to AMD and NVIDIA) 2nd network effect: Platform providers and ISVs that include hyperscalers and SaaS providers such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, OpenAI, SAP etc…these companies are enabling infrastructure for industries. 3rd network effect: industries applying AI to build new and improved experiences from retail to financial Services. This will be the heaviest consumption of the infrastructure and where the most economic value will be derived when we talk about the multi-trillion dollar impacts of AI by the end of the decade. A couple of caveats: 1. Another overlay to all 3 network effect layers are the consultant and system integrators and implementors. Accenture, IBM, Wipro, capgemini etc. all have a big role to play here across these layers 2. Similarly, power management from thermals to liquid cooling to power infrastructure is a massive consideration snd opportunity. This will happen in the Silicon, packaging, rack design, compute and architecture selection etc. Great to have this conversation on Bloomberg TV with Caroline and Sonali Basak as we went from chips out to AI driven experiences across key industries. #AI #NVIDIA
