NVIDIA is shifting beyond cloud giants, with its growth now driven by a broader global AI infrastructure push. Technologically, the integration of GPUs and CPUs, especially the standalone Vera CPU, marks a move from chip supplier to AI platform provider, fueling demand for 3nm and EUV processes upstream. Geopolitical risks intensify as U.S. export controls tighten, challenging TSMC’s role and forcing NVIDIA to diversify its customer base—particularly in sovereign nations and regional cloud providers. Competitively, AMD and Intel are accelerating AI chip development to capture market share. Over the next 12–24 months, if NVIDIA sustains its platform strategy and expands into sectors like automotive and healthcare, CPU revenue could more than double, though margin compression may persist.
