1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: This is the Bloomberg Daybreak Asia podcast. I'm Brian Curtis 3 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: along with Doug Krisner. Join us each day for the 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 2: stories making news and moving markets in the Asia Pacific. 5 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: You can subscribe to the show anywhere you get your 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: podcasts and always on Bloomberg Radio, the Bloomberg Terminal, and 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: the Bloomberg Business App. 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Let's bring in Bloomberg Intelligence Senior tech industry analyst man 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Deep Singh joining me here in the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: studio at Bloomberg Headquarters in New York. So you heard 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the conversation that Ed Ludlow had with CEO Jensen Wang. 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: What did you think? What's your reaction? 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 3: Results were great, it's still a very solid growth story. 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 3: But when it comes to convincing investors that there are 15 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 3: more catalysts for upside relative to where expectations are, I 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 3: think a lot of it right now is the on 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: how the industry actually deploys generative AI. That's what Jensen 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 3: highlighted that. Look, GENAI is transformational. It's changing how compute 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: is done and everyone will use it and we are 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: seeing that in their numbers. The data center growth is 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: just unprecedented. Question for investors is will we see more 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: positive revisions? Will estimates go up by five ten percent tomorrow? 23 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 3: And the answer is no, simply because right now they 24 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: talked about Blackwell getting delayed to four Q. Obviously they 25 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: are very positive on the ramp, but everything is more 26 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 3: like pushed out by a quarter and they I mean, 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: Jensen was very positive with ed you know in the 28 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: interview about how he expects twenty twenty five to shake out, 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: So he's his enthusiasm is intact. It's just when it 30 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: comes to estimates going up, probably investors didn't see enough. 31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: There was a lot of conversation around the hyperscalers. These 32 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: are the big cloud computing companies that have been investing 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: in this technology, and I think the big question for 34 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: the street is whether or not these companies are going 35 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: to begin to demonstrate a return on investment the ROA 36 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: on AI. What do we know about that part of 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: the story. 38 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: I think with Hyperscalers, specifically, their cloud business will ramp up. 39 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: And that's what he said, like he's not Nvidia is 40 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: not competing with the hyperscalers. They don't intend to become 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: a hyperscaler vendor like a Microsoft, Amazon, or Google. They're 42 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: deploying within Microsoft and Google, and I think that's where 43 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 3: probably you will see a lot of ramp up from 44 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: the hyperscalers. But that doesn't mean they will continue to 45 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: raise Capex for twenty twenty six and beyond. Ultimately, the 46 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 3: question for Nvidia investors is is this CAPEX wave sustainable? 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: How long of a tail it has and is there 48 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: a cliff three years out? 49 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned the Blackwell design, the new chip, the 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: GPU that in video will roll out. Apparently there's some 51 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: production issues right now. Is this more so on the 52 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: design side, that's the sense that I'm getting, rather than 53 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: production itself, right. 54 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, the complexity of the chips is growing. 55 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: He talked about power, how Blackwell will use the same 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: amount of power but be able to compute more than 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: the current Hopper architecture. So clearly they're doing a lot 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: more on the content side of the chip and it 59 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: requires sophisticated production, which TSMC is doing. But again he 60 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: came across very confident that they will ramp up four 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: Q and then if going into twenty twenty five, Blackwell 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: will be multi billions in revenue, so that conviction was 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: there in what he said during the interview. It's more about, 64 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: you know, will it be enough to drive more upside 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: in terms of the incremental buyers CAPEX going up. I mean, 66 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: he talked about there are more companies that are trading models. 67 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: Is just not clear enough, like who are these beyond 68 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: the hyperscaler sovereigns he mentioned sovereigns he did, and those 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: are low double digit and billion dollars. But again when 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 3: you compare it to the hyperscalers, it's not very clear 71 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: if the magnitude of those buyers will be the same 72 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: as the hyperscalers. 73 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: End. 74 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: So you mentioned the production side, that's TSMC, the company 75 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: that is the foundry for these Nvidia chips. Do we 76 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: have an indication that TSMC is going to be able 77 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: to keep up with demand as well? 78 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 4: Yes. 79 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 3: In fact, he was very clear that supply is growing, 80 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 3: and it's growing in a way where TSMC is able 81 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: to accommodate in Vidia becoming a larger buyer of the 82 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: manufacturing capacity that TSMC has. So all the things that 83 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 3: he mentioned of the on the call pointed to a 84 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: steady ramp up more supply of chips but what it 85 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: didn't suggest is where are more upside catalysts. I mean, 86 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: everyone knows about the new architecture, everyone knows about the 87 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: ramp up and supply, So it's more a question of 88 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: is the upside going to come from networking or software 89 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: or cloud. He said they don't intend to become a 90 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: cloud player. So the software business, they said they're going 91 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: to end at a two billion dollar rund rate, So 92 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: that upside for consensus revisions probably that is what is missing. 93 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: One of the things that I didn't hear any discussion 94 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: around was the high bandwidth memory chips. And you need 95 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: those to kind of work with the GPUs, don't you 96 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: when you're creating these cloud infrastructure units. Yes, and we're 97 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: talking about companies like sk Heinez, like Samsung. Do we 98 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: know that these companies are going to be able to 99 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: keep up at the same level that Nvidia is producing chips? 100 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, And actually that's a great point. So when you 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: look at the gross margins for Nvidia, they seem to 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 3: have peaked last quarter. So last quarter gross margins were 103 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: seventy eight percent. And remember this business right now has 104 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 3: no seasonality. I mean, it's growing, you know, triple digits 105 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: so obviously you can't factor in any seasonality. This quarter, 106 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: the margins were seventy five percent. They said they can 107 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: maintain that mid seventy percent gross margin. But the reason 108 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: why gross margin may trend down going forward is because 109 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: they have to buy more HBM chips. 110 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: They have to. 111 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: Buy more advance packaging capacity from TSMC. So that's where 112 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: the bill of materials does add up for Nvidia and 113 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: that will start to impact their gross margins. 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Great conversation, Man, Deep, Thank you so much. Bloomberg Intelligence 115 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: senior tech analyst Mandeep Singh joining us here as we 116 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: look at the price action in shares of Nvidia in 117 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: late trading down nearly seven percent. I'm Doug Krisner, and 118 00:06:52,640 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: this is Bloomberg. We welcome our guest, Mario Morales, Group 119 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: VP of Enabling Technologies and Semiconductors at IDC. He's joining 120 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: us from Silicon Valley, right down the road from San Jose. Mario, 121 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: good of you to make time. What was your reaction 122 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: to what you heard tonight from in Nvidia. 123 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 5: Well, I think I'm a lot more positive than what 124 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 5: I've been seeing after the market closed for in video. 125 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 5: I think when you look at what they basically shared 126 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 5: with us is that they're still growing pretty phenomenally in 127 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 5: the data center. I think the other markets that they 128 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 5: serve are now returning back to more normalized growth. So 129 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: I think those are all positives. I think that the 130 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 5: market sentiment was a little bit down just because the 131 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: expectations have been so high for the company. 132 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: What do you make of the fact that the company 133 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: is having problems with this new Blackwell chip design? Is 134 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: that a concern to you? 135 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 5: Not really, because I look at the position and they 136 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 5: have such a dominant position right now. Even if they're 137 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 5: late by a quarter or two, it still will not 138 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 5: change the pecking order in terms of the incumbency that 139 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 5: they continue to enjoy within the data center market. I 140 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 5: think what you're looking at nowadays is that these chips, 141 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 5: whether it's the Black Blackwell platform or any other that's 142 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 5: in the market, they're very complex chips, and they're basically 143 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: now putting all of these chiplets together in one very 144 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 5: intricate package, and so you're going to have some yield 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 5: issues initially when you ramp some of these new technologies. 146 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: I know that about forty five percent of Nvidia's total 147 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: business comes from the so called hyperscaleers, the companies that 148 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: invest in cloud computing names like Alphabet. Amazon is in there, 149 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: along with Microsoft, IBM, you could even add Oracle. I 150 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: think if it's forty five percent of the business that 151 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: has been really restricted to companies that have already built 152 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: out their AI infrastructure, isn't it reasonable to think that 153 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: growth is going to begin tapering off because those companies 154 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: really at this point aren't in a position to spend more. 155 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: They have enough. 156 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 5: You know, when you look at the cloud service provider 157 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 5: space and how they procure silicon, it tends to be lumpy. 158 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 5: But the investment in AI has been so strong that 159 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 5: I think it can continue on. Maybe not necessarily only 160 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 5: by the cloud service providers, but I think the next 161 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 5: wave that's going to come will be from telcos and enterprise. 162 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 5: These are all industries that are very large that are 163 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 5: just beginning to experiment with AI and want to really 164 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: turn it on in a big way across their enterprises. 165 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 5: So I see more growth ahead. I think the cloud 166 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: service corriders might take a pause maybe over the coming quarters, 167 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 5: but I still believe that fundamentally on a longer term basis, 168 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 5: we're just still you know, maybe in the second inning 169 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 5: of what we're seeing today in terms of the amount 170 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: of investment that we're seeing in AI. 171 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: So Nvidia designs that they are manufactured at a foundry 172 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: that's operated by TSMC. That's essentially what TSMC does, they're 173 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: the manufacturer. Are you concerned that TSMC may not be 174 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: able to keep up with demand. 175 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's continued to be the theme right 176 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 5: for over a year now. I think last year we 177 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 5: saw a correction in the semic metor space, but when 178 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 5: you look at TSMC, they tend to buck the trend. 179 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: They're a very. 180 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 5: Strong player in the founder space. The leader they control 181 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 5: over sixty percent of the market. Where they're investing heavily 182 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 5: now is in advanced packaging. So when you hear about costs, 183 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 5: all of that means is that that's where they're seeing 184 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 5: the big investments that they need to make in order 185 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 5: to serve companies like Nvidia and Broadcom and AMD and 186 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 5: others that are now beginning to use more advanced packaging 187 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: in order to continue to drive integration. 188 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 1: So the GPUs that are designed by Nvidio manufactured by TSMC, 189 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: they have to be paired with the high bandwidth memory 190 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: chips do they not, and those devices or chips are 191 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: created by companies like Samsung and s k Heinex in 192 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: South Korea. How are those companies How have they been 193 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: able to keep up with the demand. Should we be 194 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: concerned about maybe a little weakness on that side. 195 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 5: Well, we're not seeing the weakness. In fact, since probably 196 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: September of last year, the memory companies began to change 197 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 5: their operations in order to get back to profitability, but 198 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 5: demand returned, especially from the data center, and today we're 199 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 5: expecting that both DRAM and NAND will grow significantly from 200 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 5: a revenue basis, close to seventy three percent in terms 201 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 5: of revenue growth, so very phenomenal growth. A lot of 202 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 5: that led not just by high bandwidth memory, but also 203 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 5: DDR five that's being used in the flagship smartphones and 204 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 5: the upcoming aipcs that we'll see later during the holiday season. 205 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 5: So I think in general that the demand for memory 206 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: will still remain robut this year and likely into twenty 207 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 5: twenty five. 208 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: One of the things that is simply stunning when you 209 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: look at any area of high technology is the rate 210 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: of change, how quickly technology evolves. Give me a sense 211 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: of what we're seeing now with not only a company 212 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: like in Nvidia, but broadly when it comes to companies 213 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: that are involved in artificial intelligence. Is some of this 214 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: equipment going to be obsolete a year from now? Do 215 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: you think? 216 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: Well? 217 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 5: You definitely. When you look at the SEMAC, nintor space, 218 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 5: it's always followed Moore's law, which means that that performance 219 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 5: or power changes every eighteen to twenty four months. Now 220 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 5: you add AI to this, and when you start looking 221 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 5: more at the large language models, they're actually changing every 222 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 5: three to four months. So we've seen an acceleration of 223 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 5: change that's happening. And you look at companies like in 224 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 5: Nvidia or AMD, they're trying to go and keep up 225 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: with that change. And I think that's going to be 226 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,119 Speaker 5: the big challenge for these companies because they've been operating 227 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 5: with More's law in mind. But these but the market 228 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 5: for AI is moving so much faster. So now AMD 229 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 5: and Nvidia and Intel now have to basically introduce products 230 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 5: every single year now, and you're going to have some 231 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 5: hiccups because of that, because the cadence is now changing 232 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 5: in order to keep up with this demand and this 233 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 5: appetite that the world has for AI, especially around infrastructure. 234 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: What is your sense of the competition that in Vidia 235 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: may face in the future. Right now, there is clearly 236 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: very little. The company is essentially a monopolist when it 237 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: comes to these GPUs. But can you imagine a world 238 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: where Nvidia begins to look over at shoulder a bit? 239 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 5: I think so. I think over the coming year, you're 240 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 5: definitely going to see AAMD stepping up their game. They 241 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 5: you know, back in computext in June they announced an 242 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 5: annual cadence for their own accelerators with the M three 243 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 5: hundred beginning to fray, and then you got the three 244 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 5: twenty five and three fifty. So you're going to see 245 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 5: AMD now introducing an annual cadence of accelerators in order 246 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 5: to try to catch up to Nvidia. But I think 247 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 5: in Nvidia's own customers continue to chip away little by 248 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 5: little in terms of the instances and services that they're 249 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: turning on with their own silicon, And so when I 250 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 5: look at the competition, I think it's going to come 251 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: more so from the customers. Initially, so a company like 252 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 5: Google and Microsoft and AWS all developing their own chips 253 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 5: and using some of those ships with their infrastructure, and 254 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 5: then on a longer term basis. Broadcom is still a 255 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 5: significant player here that not a lot of people talk about. 256 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: But when you think about a lot of the designs 257 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 5: of the APIs that are today serving the cloud service providers, 258 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: a lot of those acs are designed in collaboration with 259 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 5: Brock them, so I would call them the number two player. 260 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 5: And then AMD coming in being able to leverage their 261 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 5: CPU entrenchmen, especially in the data center, and hopefully that 262 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 5: will help accelerate their own entrance into the GPU market 263 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 5: for training and infancy. 264 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Mario very quickly in about thirty seconds. A big semiconductor 265 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: industry a conference next week in Taiwan. What do you 266 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: think the big issues are for the semiconductors supply chain 267 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: in Asia right now? 268 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 5: I think that we're still seeing a slower recovery in 269 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 5: the spending and I'm talking about capital spending of the 270 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 5: major companies. Even though TSMC has increased their numbers, the 271 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 5: rest of the industry is still a lot more cautious 272 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 5: around spending. So that's going to be one of the 273 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 5: key things. How much of the tools are still making 274 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 5: their way into China. That is also becoming something that 275 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 5: governments are watching more closely. And then how long can 276 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 5: we continue to sustain the growth that is needed to 277 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 5: believe it there billion dollars. 278 00:15:52,200 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Mario Morales, this is Bloomberg. We bring in our guest, 279 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: Dan Newman. He is the CEO of the Futuram Group, 280 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: joining us from Austin, Texas. Dan, pleasure to have you 281 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: on the program. I hope you had some time to 282 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: go through what we heard from Nvidia tonight. The stock, 283 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, was down more than seven percent in 284 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: the late US trading. Do you think this is an overreaction? 285 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me, and I have spent some 286 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: time and actually listened to a really compelling interview that 287 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 4: was done Bloomberg with Ed Ludlow. I think the overall 288 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 4: reaction is a little bit of what I would have 289 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 4: expected based on them just doing enough. And as crazy 290 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: as this sounds, just doing enough was beating raising and 291 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 4: being really solid and consistent in what the company is delivering. 292 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 4: The problem is, over the last several quarters, we've come 293 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: to expect these massive beats, huge revenue upside, these guides 294 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 4: that look phenomenal, and this sort of endless upgrade cycle 295 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: and this just was good. And you know what I 296 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 4: said coming into this, it has to be great or 297 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: there's only. 298 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Downside the price to perfection story. I think we can 299 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: agree on that, right. But are you troubled at all 300 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: by the word that in Nvidia is having problems with 301 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: that new Blackwell chip design. 302 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: I'm not really troubled because it seems he has the 303 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: situation under control. He talked about the update to the mask, 304 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: which was going to improve the yield, which in the 305 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 4: in the near term means probably an uplift from Hopper. 306 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 4: These Hopper chips are still very significant, and they're still 307 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 4: selling in volume. Amazon and Microsoft are still building out 308 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 4: significant infrastructure with them, so is x and Tesla and others. 309 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 4: I think where this is going to head, though, is 310 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 4: when does that ramp, that one year cycle continue to 311 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 4: drive these triple digit growth rates. And we're starting to 312 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 4: see that slow down. And I think whether we see 313 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 4: this ship into the fourth quarter or even if it 314 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: falls into the first quarter, what we end up having 315 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: happen is we've got an entire world that's kind of 316 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 4: watching this stock and saying triple digit revenue growth, triple 317 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: digit earnings growth, and now we're starting to see that 318 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: quarter on quarter you're on youar it's decelerating and then 319 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 4: bigger questions about AI digestion and when does this start 320 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: to really find its way into companies like Salesforce, as 321 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 4: Numbers and others that reported today that didn't get as 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 4: much attention. 323 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. It's a good point too. 324 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: But let's get back to Nvidia and the approved fifty 325 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: billion dollars in additional stock buyback. Is that a good 326 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: way to kind of repurpose or redeploy capital. 327 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: I think if the company is looking at the situation 328 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: as hey, there may be some some hesitancy, there may 329 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 4: be some sellers. We saw some selling pressure into the 330 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 4: numbers today. The company wants to be armed, to be 331 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 4: able to lower the flow and to be able to 332 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: take advantage of a lower share price as it expects 333 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 4: that this Blackwell and then followed by Rubin will continue 334 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: to drive this acceleration. You know, we did hear from 335 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 4: Mark Luckerberg center of a Chai, you know, Satia Nadella. 336 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 4: There was really no indication that they plan to slow 337 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 4: their capex spending. And that means good things for Nvidia 338 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 4: because despite the fact that all of them are making 339 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 4: investments or have been making investments in somewhat competitive offerings. 340 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 4: In the current moment, these companies are building the bridges 341 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 4: and roads and tunnels with Nvidio, and if they want 342 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: to be competitive, they don't want their Blockbuster moment, they 343 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 4: don't want to have their BlackBerry moments. So I think 344 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 4: they are going to keep investing. And I think that 345 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 4: bude really well for Justin Wong in video. 346 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: So I hear what you're saying when it comes to 347 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: the cloud computing companies, those so called hyperscalers talking about 348 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: their intention to continue with the current level of cap x. 349 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: But won't that largely be determined by whether or they 350 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: or not they get a significant return on their investment. 351 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: The so called ROI on AHI has to be the key, right. 352 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: You would think so. But if you listen to Mark 353 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 4: Zuckerberg's comments, he was pretty clear that he was willing 354 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 4: to bet even if that ingestion period, even if that 355 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 4: consumption period is longer than we expect. And we know 356 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 4: that he's done that before with Reality Labs, and the 357 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 4: market sort of pushed back at him until he had 358 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 4: to pivot on his as capex investments on that side. 359 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 4: But AI is not virtual reality. It is very clear 360 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 4: that this is going to change every industry from autonomous 361 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 4: driving to drug discovery to these large language models that 362 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 4: are going to change software and the way we sell, 363 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: the way we buy, the way we watch. And so 364 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 4: when you put all these things together, I think these 365 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 4: companies are willing. They have great balance sheets, most of 366 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 4: them are strong cash positions. They're willing to make the bet. 367 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: But I agree with you, I think we need to 368 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: see more measurable returns downstream from these software companies. Who 369 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 4: else is making money besides Nvidia and these cloud companies 370 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 4: have not been really clear. I think Azure amy Hood 371 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 4: gave the best numbers so far, but you're talking to 372 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 4: single digit percent about Azure revenue. 373 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: TSMC is obviously the foundry that produces these chips. I mean, 374 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: are you confident that TSMC can keep up with a 375 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: level of production required. 376 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 4: Well, TSMC is continuing to talk to how it will 377 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 4: expand its capabilities. We've heard about some of the you know, 378 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: the availability of its three danimeter being really sold out 379 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 4: through twenty twenty five. We of course they're hearing about coosts, 380 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 4: you know, the packaging technology, and that was part of 381 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 4: what was going on with some of the potential delays. 382 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 4: This new cost l technology and TSMC has the market. 383 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 4: They have a huge percentage of this AI movement, and 384 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 4: of course a lot of Nvidia's business, and they're going 385 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: to have to invest substantially. TSMC is a clear winner here, 386 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: and you know, while we are waiting on some of 387 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 4: these others, the sks and microns, and they're building the 388 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 4: HBM side this partner ecosystem, and Jenson said this on 389 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 4: the interview with that ed it was very clear that 390 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 4: this supply partnership is monumental in terms of the company's 391 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 4: ability to continue to hit its growth. TSMC has given 392 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 4: us no reason to doubt its ability. But this technology 393 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 4: keeps getting more complex and that puts a lot of 394 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: stress on TSMC to deliver well. 395 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: You mentioned the high band with memory chip manufacturers sk Heinix, 396 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: Samsung in South Korea. Are they kind of the weak 397 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: link in this chain, which is to say, if they 398 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: don't keep up with the level of output that in 399 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: Nvidia is striving for that the overall move in the 400 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: build out of some of these AI infrastructure models, I 401 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: mean that it's held back a bit. 402 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 4: I think this continues to be the reason why whether 403 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: Blackwell's a little bit delayed or not, they're going to 404 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 4: produce as much of the hopper as possible. The overall 405 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 4: situation as it pertains to memory is they're also constrained there. 406 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 4: So you heard me talk about three nanometer constrained, coosts constrained, 407 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 4: and of course HBM constrained. So right now you are 408 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 4: literally seeing these five or so major hyperscalers plus global 409 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 4: hyperscalers and Tier two's taking up the vast majority of 410 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 4: the demand for all of these major parts of the supply. 411 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 4: And you know, Jensen talked about it being around forty 412 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 4: five percent coming from the three or four biggest, but 413 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 4: they are taking most of the demand and until we 414 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 4: can expand capacity. So it's on Micron, which is investing, 415 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 4: it's on sk and Samsung, all of which are investing. 416 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 4: But it can't happen fast enough. This does take. 417 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: Time, given the export controls that the Biden administration has 418 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: put on some of this advanced technology from Nvidia to 419 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: the Chinese market. Is it fair to say that the 420 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: US is far out in front of China when it 421 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: comes to AI or are you concerned possibly about Chinese 422 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: advancement in this area and maybe at some point it 423 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: becoming a greater rivalry. 424 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 4: I am always concerned about China's willingness, will power, capacity 425 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 4: and capabilities to build and deliver even in the most 426 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 4: difficult situation. Of course, the US has been incredibly innovative, 427 00:23:54,040 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 4: are fabulous leaders, not just in Nvidia, AMD, of course, historically, Intel, Qualcom, 428 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 4: these companies have all been tremendously important to this innovation wave. 429 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 4: China is doing what it can to follow suit. It's 430 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 4: been somewhat successful in mobile devices, in PCs. We've seen 431 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 4: it with Honor and Huawei. We are hearing that it 432 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: is having some level of success building competitive products to 433 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 4: the tuned down in Vidio chips, the B twenties h twenties, 434 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 4: that they could be able to compete in this particular space. 435 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 4: I never would rule them out. I think that would 436 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: be a tremendously large mistake. Having said that, in Vidia 437 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: has a substantial lead beyond everyone else right now, and 438 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 4: then others like AMD and like what the hyperscalers are 439 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 4: building is very advanced, and I do think China has 440 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 4: significant challenges, but I wouldn't doubt their ability or resolve 441 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: to find a way. 442 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: Well, leave it there, Dan, thank you so much.
