Nvidia is preparing for the post-GPU AI era as it is reportedly recruits ASIC engineers to fend off competition from Broadcom and Marvell

Abstraction: Nvidia entering ASIC market to compete in shift from GPU training to inference chips

Key points:

• Nvidia established a new ASIC department and is recruiting engineers from companies like MediaTek, as reported by Taiwan's Commercial Times
• AI inference chip market projected to grow from $15.8B (2023) to $90.6B by 2030 (Verified Market Research)
• ASICs offer superior efficiency over GPUs for inference tasks; Nvidia's H-series GPUs dominate training but face displacement in inference
• Google's Trillium TPU (made GA December 2024) exemplifies hyperscaler custom ASIC strategy; Broadcom and Marvell have surged in valuation by serving cloud providers
• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed 1,000 engineer recruitment in Taiwan in 2024 as part of broader expansion
