Custom AI ASICs for Google TPU, Meta MTIA, ByteDance, plus Tomahawk/Jericho switches that backbone AI clusters.
- Custom AI accelerators (ASICs) Broadcom co-designs custom AI accelerators (XPUs) for hyperscalers — a multi-billion-dollar and fast-growing AI-silicon franchise alongside Google, Meta and others.
- AI networking silicon Tomahawk/Jericho switch chips and optics connect AI clusters — Broadcom is a leader in AI back-end networking hardware.
- VMware + AI software The VMware acquisition adds infrastructure software that helps enterprises run private AI/cloud workloads.
- Twin AI engines — custom accelerators and networking silicon — with strong margins (operating ~49%).
- Custom-ASIC wins give Broadcom durable, design-locked AI revenue.
- Massive free cash flow (~$27bn) funds dividends, buybacks and M&A.
- Customer concentration among a few hyperscalers and integration of VMware are key risks.
