The AI chip war is still in its early stages, and two tech giants have already bet on the right direction.
Nvidia has benefited from the AI boom thanks to GPUs. In Q2, revenue surged 101% year-on-year, and adjusted EPS skyrocketed by 429%, all driven by the "crazy" demand for AI chips from data centers. Industry forecasts predict that the AI chip market will grow from the current $28 billion to possibly $165 billion by 2030. As the leading GPU manufacturer, as long as the AI trend continues, Nvidia's good days are not over.
Microsoft's approach is more aggressive – they invested $13 billion in OpenAI in exchange for a 49% stake and ongoing dividend rights. This money allowed Microsoft to acquire cutting-edge AI technology early on, enhancing the competitiveness of its own Azure cloud services. According to Morgan Stanley's forecast, the AI cloud computing market could reach $647 billion by 2030. Microsoft is already the top player in the second tier of cloud computing, and with Azure in hand, it's highly likely that future AI infrastructure orders will end up in their pockets.
But I must remind you - growth is never a straight line. Even if both companies have tapped into the big trend of AI, there will inevitably be times when quarterly growth slows down. The key is not to be scared into cutting losses by short-term fluctuations; as long as the company's fundamentals remain unchanged, you should hold on.
