    Broadcom projects custom AI chip market to reach $230B by 2028 across hyperscalers

    Question

    Broadcom projects custom AI chip market to reach $230B by 2028 across hyperscalers

    Direct answer

    Broadcom reiterated its medium-term targets for specialized accelerator architectures, projecting the AI semiconductor addressable revenue will expand from $57.6 billion in 2024 to $230 billion by 2028. The expansion is centered on custom silicon partnerships where hyperscalers finance proprietary architectures to lower inference costs. Key hyperscale customers deploying custom Broadcom accelerators include Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and OpenAI. By maintaining custom IP blocks and co-packaged optics capabilities, the company expects to preserve operating margins around 40% throughout the delivery cycle.
