    Broadcom Projects AI Chip Revenue Reaching $230 Billion by 2028 on Custom ASIC Demand

    Question

    Broadcom Projects AI Chip Revenue Reaching $230 Billion by 2028 on Custom ASIC Demand

    Direct answer

    Broadcom outlined projections for its custom artificial intelligence semiconductor segment, forecasting an increase from $57.6 billion recorded in 2024 to $230 billion by 2028. The ramp is anchored by dedicated custom silicon programs co-developed with major cloud infrastructure operators including Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and OpenAI. The multi-year forecast reflects structural cloud optimization strategies aimed at lowering merchant GPU acquisition costs through customized compute architectures. Broadcom expects to sustain gross and operating margins near 40% across these engagements.
