Marvell and Google partner on custom AI chips, impacting Broadcom
Marvell Technology and Google have entered into a new agreement to develop custom semiconductors, including AI inference accelerators. As part of this partnership, Google received a warrant for approximately 59 million Marvell shares at a price of $206.58 per share.
The announcement has significant implications for Broadcom, which has historically held a dominant position in Google’s custom chip business. Analysts from Macquarie have previously suggested that Broadcom’s share of Google’s revenue could drop from roughly 95% to 65% by 2028. Following the news of the Marvell-Google deal, Broadcom’s stock experienced an intraday decline of approximately 5%.
Simultaneously, Broadcom is navigating massive financing requirements to support the AI infrastructure buildout. The company is reportedly in discussions to raise between $60 billion and $80 billion in debt to fund chip and computing deals for AI firms, including Anthropic. Investment firms such as Blackstone and Apollo Global Management have been involved in previous financing rounds related to these initiatives.
