Nvidia at $5 Trillion: The AI Chip Industry Through Porter's Five Forces

Last Wednesday Nvidia beat earnings, hit a $5 trillion market cap, and the headlines called the moat unprecedented. It is unprecedented.

Three are pushing the other way harder than markets are pricing in: supplier power (TSMC and HBM), substitutes (the inference shift), and competitive rivalry from inside Nvidia's own customer base.
