Competitively, AMD’s MI300X targets mid-tier training, while Intel’s Gaudi3 and Chinese players like Cambricon and Ascend pressure inference segments with cost-driven designs. Over the next 12–24 months, unless NVIDIA monetizes its CUDA moat into recurring software revenue, its hardware-centric model risks valuation compression—robust free cash flow may not offset decelerating growth in DCF sensitivity analyses.
