Whilst nearly every chipmaker watched by the PSESI recorded share growth, Nvidia was the leader earning a market cap of $1trn. 

In its executive briefing on artificial intelligence (AI), research analyst company GlobalData recorded that an increase in AI interest is significantly boosting the semiconductor industry with digital logic, sensors and analog seeing the biggest growth. 

Towards 2025, GlobalData forecasts that there will be a shift in the mix of the various products that fall within the definition of AI chips, such as GPUs, AI accelerators, FPGAs, and ASICs. 

As ASIC and AI workload designs mature, GlobalData expects large semiconductor manufacturers providing special purpose logic (SPL) chips to develop AI accelerators, which are bound to take share from GPUs.
