As AI priorities shift, new winners in the space have emerged.
The widespread adoption of ChatGPT in early 2023 heralded the wave of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to come. These next-generation AI models were significantly more useful than their predecessors but required a great deal more computational horsepower. Data centers and cloud providers — where most AI resides — scrambled to obtain the best AI chips money could buy.
This fueled a growth spurt for Nvidia. Its graphics processing units (GPUs), originally designed to generate lifelike images in video games, proved equally adept at moving data through the ether at lightning speeds.

However, priorities have begun to shift, opening the door for alternative solutions. While Nvidia will likely continue to dominate the data center GPU space, the current focus on energy-efficient alternatives suggests that Broadcom (AVGO 1.67%) represents a second chance for AI investors.
GPUs, while powerful,…
