All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

And that's where NVIDIA is a customer today.

Their most advanced chip called Grace Blackwell is 72 ARM CPUs with a Blackwell architecture.

And that's where NVIDIA plays today.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Back to where does NVIDIA fit?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

There is competition.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

You know, Demis talked about with Google, they do their own chip called TPUs.

Obviously, NVIDIA is the leader with general purpose.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

But right now, we're in this interesting world where people are looking at, is it a general purpose chip?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

Is it a custom chip?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

Et cetera, et cetera.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

It's a fascinating time to be in this industry for sure.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

Maybe a little bit of both.

I mean, today, the role we play is we are now increasingly that microprocessor that connects to these accelerators, whether it's something that's done by Cerebrus or it's something that's done by Nvidia, something done by Google, they're connected.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

Could we do something ourselves custom?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

It's possible.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

Could we also supply the intellectual property to somebody building a custom chip?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

We're doing that today.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

So to some extent,

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

We're in a very unique place that not only can we provide the solution, whether it's standard or custom, but as AI moves from gigawatt data centers to running in these headsets or running in a wearable or running in something that needs to be energy efficient, you still need to run the compute workload, but now you need to run the AI workload.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Arm CEO Rene Haas on AI: Nvidia Lessons, Intel’s Decline and the US-China Chip War

And that is a place that I think only ARM is uniquely positioned to address.
