Coverage across current and emerging chip types, including GPUs, CPUs, custom AI ASICs, and other AI chips, from over 40 chip designers, historic market data from 2022-2024, and market forecasts from 2025 to 2035. AI model training and inference workloads are forcing the industry to rethink not only how much compute fits in a rack, but how servers are architected from end to end — transforming computing infrastructure as we know it. 2 Hyperscalers are spending $380B+ on AI capex in 2025 while simultaneously building custom chips (TPU, Trainium, Maia, MTIA) that offer 40-65% TCO advantages over GPUs. 3 Broadcom and Marvell control ~95% of the custom ASIC co-design market — Google alone spends ~$8B/year with Broadcom on TPU. Within this hardware ecosystem, printed circuit boards (PCBs) play a critical role as the structural foundation for electronic components and the provider of electrical. Our new AI Chip Components explorer tracks how much advanced-node logic, memory, and advanced packaging capacity is consumed by leading AI chip designers. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being adopted across all industry sectors and the growing need to run AI (as well as machine learning, or ML) workloads is placing considerable demands on servers.
