Huang’s bold prediction comes as demand for Nvidia’s artificial intelligence (AI) microchips remains red hot. The company’s graphics processing units (GPUs) are an essential component of the powerful data centers that underpin AI models and applications.

While Nvidia remains the market leader in AI chips and processors, the company is facing growing competition in the space from rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices AMD +1.65% ▲ and Intel INTC -0.02% ▼ , as well as mega-cap technology companies such as Alphabet GOOGL +1.09% ▲ that are developing their own AI processors.

Nvidia’s Investments

Nvidia’s sales are expected to get a further boost from the rise of inference chips. Inference is the ability of AI chatbots to perform tasks on behalf of humans, and represents the next frontier in artificial intelligence, according to analysts.

Nvidia is investing heavily in inference so that it can stay ahead of its competitors and remain on top in the intensely competitive space. The company paid $17 billion last December to buy Groq, a startup that specializes in cheap and quick inference work. Nvidia has also invested $2 billion in several companies that manufacturer lasers that use beams of light to rapidly send information between microchips.
