OpenAI is set to deploy 1.3GW of 'Jalapeño' by 2027 and over 5GW by 2028, with its third-generation XPU in development. Broadcom will deliver three generations of MTIA accelerators to Meta by the end of 2027, with a total capacity of 3GW by 2028. The company expects AI semiconductor revenue to reach $1.15 trillion in 2027 and $2.3 trillion in 2028, with supply chain readiness confirmed.
