NVIDIA - Godfather of AI - Why the Market is Bullish

 NVIDIA - The Godfather of AI - Why the Market is Bullish

Key Message

  • Q2 FY23 -  The data centre business, driven by demand from cloud providers and internet companies, played a vital role, contributing $10.32 billion (76% of total revenue). Gaming revenue also grew positively to $2.49 billion.
  • Products like the H100 tensor core GPU, DGX supercomputers, inference platforms, and AI Infrastructure-as-a-Service in the cloud are poised to transform AI delivery, partnered with major cloud providers.
  • Today Nvidia commands 70% of the AI Chip market.
  • Other Key players are AMD, ARM (Softbank) and Intel. 





































If you take the other Nvidia divisions separate them out and add them together, revenues were up by 9.9% to $3.18Bn. That’s another way of saying that the Nvidia datacentre business is now 3.2x bigger than the rest of Nvidia, and the datacentre business now accounts for 76.4% of the overall sales for the company.




































A single chip can cost upwards of US$40K  and Open AI used about 10,000 of them to train ChatGPT. If you want to train a GPT5-level model, you apparently need somewhere on the order of 20K to 25K H100 GPU accelerators, and that is somewhere around two dozen $1 billion machine































 























Nvidia's Economic Moat is driven by its 1st mover advantage in an AI Chip segment, supported by network effects of a multisided platform and a frictionless Flywheel.

Generative AI - Where is The Growth ?

 Generative AI - Where is The Growth?  The current state of the Gen AI industry shows that big tech companies, especially hyper scalers, dominate the scene. They are the primary drivers of innovation and growth, focused on achieving long-term sustainability by shifting their focus from selling computing to selling generic and specialised model services with higher margins.  This has led to increased interest from venture capitalists, resulting in numerous startups focused on selling model-based services and integrating with existing apps and services. The low barriers to entry make it easy for startups to grow in the short term, but sustainability is challenging without a unique proposition. Many startups will likely fail, with some being acquired by larger companies.  Software providers such as Salesforce, Oracle, and Workday are also integrating AI services, either by building or purchasing specialised services to defend and survive the industry changes.
