As per Sur, the Google TPU program has the potential to generate over $8 billion in revenues for Broadcom in 2024 (up 125% year-on-year) and over $10 billion in 2025.
The analyst noted that the new TPUv7 (first design win at 3-nm, second design win at 2-nm) win is due for monetization in calendar years 2026 and 2027.
Meta tapped Broadcom to co-design Meta's first - and second-generation AI training processors at 7-nm and 5-nm (called MTIA), as per Sur.
Broadcom is on track to ramp Meta's third-generation AI ASIC chip (MTIA 3 at 3-nm) in the second half of 2024 and into calendar year 2025, Sur says.
Broadcom has already won the follow-on 3-nm program targeted for calendar year 2026 ramp-up as per the analyst.
According to the analyst, Broadcom will likely drive $11 billion - $12 billion+ in total AI revenues in 2024 and $14 billion-$15 billion+ in 2025.
