Nvidia Vulnerable To In-House AI Chip Production By Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon

• Despite Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ: NVDA) AI moat, companies developing their AI models are migrating towards custom chips to curtail costs and tackle compatibility issues and supply crises.

• Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google is on its fourth iteration of its in-house Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).

• Meta Platforms, Inc's (NASDAQ: META) inaugural custom AI chip, Meta Training Inference Accelerator (MTIA), will likely go live in 2025.

• Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) has also jumped into the AI hardware bandwagon, Digitimes reports.

• Amazon.Com, Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN), though, with its duo of chips - Inferentia and Trainium - under its belt, has determined that software development will remain its primary focus.

• The decision of cloud providers to remain in charge will fuel alliances and revenue prospects for teams specializing in designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), posing a headwind for chipmakers like Nvidia.

• Microsoft will likely bolster its strategic partnership with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ: AMD). Meta is extending its chip technology collaboration with Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO) on AI and metaverse. Taiwan-based IP and ASIC powerhouses like MediaTek, Global Unichip, and Alchip Technologies are likely contenders for a stake in the AI and high-performance computing (HPC) realm.

• Price Action: NVDA shares traded lower by 0.82% at $397.86 on the last check Wednesday.
