As of March 2024, Nvidia controls 80% of the global GPU semiconductor market for AI, with revenue up 265% YoY and GAAP earnings up 765%. AMD is positioning as the second major player with 143% share price growth YoY. However, competitive threats are materializing: Intel plans new AI chips, Meta and Google are building custom silicon for internal use, and multiple AI chip startups (Cerebras, Groq, Tenstorren) are entering the market. The source highlights Nvidia's sustained moat via CUDA ecosystem depth (pre-built libraries, developer tools), but notes that supply-chain concentration in Taiwan (TSMC dependency plus Taiwan geopolitical risk) creates a structural vulnerability shared by both Nvidia and AMD. Financial institutions should monitor whether Nvidia's 80% share proves defensible as competitors scale or whether custom chips fragment the market more rapidly than CUDA switching costs offset.
