Extended read

As the AI industry moves from training large models to deploying them (inference), Nvidia has maintained its dominance, capturing nearly three-quarters of the market. This contradicts earlier theses that AMD or custom silicon would erode Nvidia's lead during the inference phase. Nvidia's financial performance remains unparalleled in the sector, with Q2 2026 revenue of $81.6 billion and a net margin of 72%, significantly outpacing AMD's 14% margin.
