The artificial intelligence (AI) boom is far from peaking; in fact, experts argue it is merely expanding into a new, multi-trillion-dollar phase centered on “Physical AI,” which will accommodate growth for both Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) and custom chip rivals like Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO).



<h2>The Next Multi-Trillion Dollar Frontier</h2>



According to analysis shared by Daniel Newman, the CEO of Futurum Group, and data from Morgan Stanley, the tech industry is transitioning from the era of chatbots into a massive “Physical AI” cycle.



This shift—encompassing wearables, autonomous devices, and humanoid robots—represents the next multi-trillion dollar Total Addressable Market (TAM).



Despite fears of an AI bubble, the expert suggests we are “so damn early” in the cycle. Current datacenter capacity is reportedly nowhere near sufficient to support the incoming wave of enterprise and physical generative workloads, signaling sustained demand for hardware infrastructure well into the 2030s.

<h2>A Widening Market, Not A Zero-Sum Game</h2>



Tech analyst Beth Kindig of I/O Fund dispels the notion that the rise of custom silicon, such as Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) TPUs or Broadcom’s ASICs, spells doom for Nvidia.



Speaking on the expanded semiconductor landscape, Kindig argues that the AI monetization wave will “widen,” allowing new entrants to capture revenue without displacing Nvidia's dominance.



“We are not at a static point,” Kindig noted, emphasizing that while Broadcom may capture share in the inference market, Nvidia remains the “near monopoly” for training due to its robust CUDA software ecosystem and relentless R&amp;D pace.

<h2>CapEx ‘Inflection Point’</h2>



The scale of this build-out is evident in corporate spending. Kindig highlighted Oracle Corp. (NYSE:ORCL) as a prime example, where 2026 capital expenditure estimates have more than doubled from $9 billion to over $20 billion.



While some analysts have likened this to “drunken sailor” spending, tech CEOs are banking on a massive “inflection point” of monetization to absorb these costs.



With companies like OpenAI hitting a $20 billion run rate faster than any company in history, the market appears primed to validate these massive hardware investments.



<h2>Nvidia Outperforms In 2025</h2>



Shares of Nvidia have risen by 40.16% year-to-date and 19.32% over the last six months. However, it closed 1.21% lower at $188.22 apiece on Monday.



NVDA maintains a stronger price trend over the short, medium, and long terms, with a poor value ranking. Additional performance details, as per Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings, are available here.

Physical AI is emerging as a multi-trillion dollar opportunity, benefiting both Nvidia and Broadcom. Experts, including Daniel Newman, highlight a shift from chatbots to Physical AI, encompassing wearables and autonomous devices. Despite concerns of an AI bubble, demand for hardware infrastructure is expected to grow significantly. Analyst Beth Kindig notes that the expanding semiconductor market allows for revenue capture without displacing Nvidia's dominance in AI training. Corporate spending on infrastructure is increasing, with companies like Oracle doubling their capital expenditures, indicating a strong market for AI monetization.

- The artificial intelligence (AI) market is entering a new phase focused on "Physical AI," expected to create a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for companies like Nvidia and Broadcom.  
- Analysts suggest that the current datacenter capacity is insufficient for the anticipated demand from enterprise and physical generative workloads, indicating sustained hardware demand into the 2030s.  
- Additionally, the rise of custom silicon won't threaten Nvidia's dominance, as the AI market is expected to widen, allowing multiple chipmakers to benefit alongside Nvidia.
