Report: Microsoft in talks with Broadcom for custom chips > According to reports, Microsoft is in talks with Broadcom for a custom chip design collaboration, potentially shifting its business from the current supplier Marvell to reduce dependence on NVIDIA. As the development of AI products accelerates, the demand for custom chips has surged, with tech giants seeking to diversify their supply chains to mitigate risks. Custom chips can be optimized for specific AI workloads, offering performance and cost advantages Microsoft is in discussions with Broadcom to design future custom chips, a move that may indicate Microsoft will shift related business from its current supplier Marvell to Broadcom. This action highlights the tech giant's strategic layout to accelerate its departure from reliance on NVIDIA amid the artificial intelligence boom. On December 5th, according to technology media The Information, a source involved in the discussions revealed that **Microsoft and Broadcom are negotiating custom chip design. If the collaboration is reached, Broadcom will replace Marvell as Microsoft's new partner in the custom chip field.** The report states that this potential deal comes as major tech giants compete to acquire more semiconductors to expand their AI product lines. **Broadcom is seen as the most capable competitor to challenge NVIDIA's dominance in the semiconductor market.** The company's layout in the custom chip field is closely linked to CEO Hock Tan's preference for large deals and decisive management style. This cooperation discussion reflects the intensifying competition in the custom chip market, with chip manufacturers actively vying for orders from tech giants. ## Surge in Demand for Custom Chips The report indicates that as companies like Microsoft accelerate AI product development, the demand for custom chips has surged. Currently, NVIDIA dominates the semiconductor market, but tech companies are seeking to diversify their chip supply chains to reduce dependence on a single supplier. **Custom chips can be optimized for specific AI workloads, providing tech companies with performance and cost advantages.** This has prompted giants like Microsoft and Meta to increase their investments in the custom chip field. **According to three insiders involved in the development, Meta plans to launch this chip in 2027.** The report also notes that this collaboration reflects the intensifying competition in the custom chip market. According to two insiders involved in the negotiations, Marvell has recently adopted a strategy of waiving some upfront engineering design fees to secure more business from Meta. With its technological strength and scale advantages, Broadcom is vying for a larger market share in this competition. The company is viewed by the market as a major competitor capable of rivaling NVIDIA ### Related Stocks - [AVGO.US - Broadcom](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVGO.US.md) - [NVDA.US - NVIDIA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [MSFT.US - Microsoft](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [MSFL.US - GraniteShares 2x Long MSFT Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFL.US.md) - [MSFO.US - YieldMax MSFT Option Income Strategy ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFO.US.md) - [MSFD.US - Direxion Daily MSFT Bear 1x Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFD.US.md) - [MSFU.US - Direxion Daily MSFT Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFU.US.md) - [MSFX.US - T-Rex 2X Long Microsoft Daily Target ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFX.US.md) - [MSFY.US - Kurv Yield Premium Strategy Microsoft MSFT ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFY.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Nvidia 收入再創新高 揚言 AI 代理已達拐點 算力轉化收入 惟銷售集中惹擔憂 | 英偉達（Nvidia）第四季業績超預期，整體收入及數據中心收入創新高，CEO 黃仁勳表示 AI 算力已達拐點，預計第一財季收入約 780 億美元。儘管數據中心銷售集中引發擔憂，股價在盤後交易中一度上漲 4%，但分析師會議期間曾下跌 1.5% | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276976069.md) | | 高盛談 AI 交易：“AI 基建” 的下半年風險，“AI 應用” 的 “輸家” 短期難翻身 | 高盛警告，AI 資本開支增速預計將在下半年放緩。這一拐點將直接威脅嚴重依賴資本開支的 AI 基礎設施股，其估值溢價將崩塌。比如，當前英偉達已出現 “盈利大漲、股價卻不漲” 的現象。另一方面，深陷 “被顛覆” 恐慌的軟件等 AI 應用端輸家， | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276974463.md) | | 人工智能是否正在進入國防系統？OpenAI 贏得了美國的機密網絡合同 | AI 開發公司 OpenAI 已達成協議，將其 AI 模型部署在美國國防部的一個機密網絡上，這標誌着商業 AI 在國家安全領域整合的重要進展。OpenAI 首席執行官 Sam Altman 強調了該機構對安全和合作的承諾。此次合作使政府機構 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277291077.md) | | 不再單押英偉達，Meta 斥資數十億美元租用谷歌 TPU | Meta 與谷歌達成數十億美元協議，租用谷歌 TPU 以開發新 AI 模型，標誌着 AI 算力供應商多元化的進展。儘管 Meta 仍計劃採購數百萬英偉達 GPU，但此舉顯示其希望減少對單一供應商的依賴。Meta 還與 AMD 達成合作，主要 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277123562.md) | | 英偉達今夜財報大考：要多強才能扭轉 AI 泡沫恐慌？ | 要扭轉市場對 AI 泡沫的擔憂，英偉達不僅需要在營收和利潤上大幅超出預期，還必須在現金流兑現、利潤率維持以及未來訂單指引上給出無懈可擊的證明，以安撫對科技巨頭債務驅動型支出感到緊張的投資者。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276887894.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
