Broadcom, leveraging its custom AI networking silicon and VMware integration, is poised to capture edge inference share; Intel risks irrelevance if EUV yield rates stall. Over the next 18 months, the AI chip race will pivot from raw performance to power efficiency and vertical integration depth, triggering structural divergence—only firms with full-stack ecosystems will endure the valuation reset.
