Industry Analysis
Including China in its $200B CPU forecast reflects NVIDIA’s tactical pivot amid tightening export controls. The Vera-Rubin platform isn’t just a new product—it forces TSMC to reallocate EUV capacity toward advanced packaging, accelerating CoWoS and chiplet adoption across the supply chain. Yet reliance on case-by-case H200 licenses inflates NVIDIA’s operational costs by over 15% and compels partners like Super Micro to redesign inventory buffers near geopolitical flashpoints. AMD’s MI300X and Huawei’s Ascend 910B are already undercutting NVIDIA in inference workloads; Jensen Huang is countering with full-stack software lock-in. But if U.S. regulators block Vera CPU exports, pricing power evaporates overnight. Within 18 months, a Chinese breakthrough in 7nm yield could permanently reshape global data center procurement logic.
