Great conversation w/my friend @jswartz @TechstrongGroup on my 2026 predictions. We’re still in the early innings with AI, which will move even faster in 2026. As a result, the next few years will see some real winners, as well as spectacular train wrecks.

@TechFieldDay @SFoskett @fredericvharen @jswartz Thanks for sharing this @jswartz just followed you 🤝

[Emmanuel Straschnov @emmanuel_s]

Glad I got the opportunity to contribute to this piece - AI will be truly transformational once it becomes an enabler for the team, instead of a straight replacement for FTEs. https://t.co/jUnqndTHPf

Thank you @jswartz !

$NVDA will lead a trillion-dollar TAM for AI chips by 2030. Here is how our Futurum team is breaking this down.

AI chips at least $1 trillion by 2030 (conservative est)
25% Custom which will be led by $AVGO (~70-75% share)

$MRVL number 2 in custom with around 15-20%
75% Merchant GPU led by NVIDIA (~80-85% share)

$AMD will take around 15% with an upside of 20% share.

Perhaps the biggest beneficiary will be $TSM, which will hold the keys to all production unless $INTC and Samsung make meaningful strides at the leading edge.
