Broadcom's leadership just dropped some telling remarks to TD Cowen analysts—the chip demand they're seeing isn't just strong, it's insatiable. Think about what that means for the broader market.
Given the explosive growth in AI infrastructure and ongoing demand for computing power across sectors, semiconductor makers are basically running flat out. For anyone tracking the hardware side of things—whether it's GPU availability, mining rig production, or data center buildouts—this kind of statement from a major player like Broadcom carries real weight.
What's interesting here is the scale of what "insatiable" implies. It's not just "we're selling well." It's a signal that supply constraints are real and persistent. When top executives use language like that with institutional investors, it usually reflects structural tightness in their order books.
For the Web3 and crypto space specifically, this ties directly into the compute resources that power everything from blockchain validation to AI-enhanced protocols. Chip availability has been a bottleneck before—and if Broadcom's seeing this kind of demand, it suggests that bottleneck could be more pronounced than we think.

Is the chip shortage coming? Brode's recent comments directly hit the nerve... The computing power bottleneck is really no small matter; both Web3 and AI are hitting roadblocks.

The chip shortage is really coming. I thought we had it under control before, but it turns out there's no real stock on hand.

The chip shortage has really arrived. Broadcom's words are quite harsh... The supply chain is so tight that mining and data centers are probably going to compete for supplies.

Is the chip shortage coming? Broadcom says insatiable... Does this mean miners and node operators will be bottlenecked again?
