NVIDIA Spectrum X vs. Arista & Broadcom:...

Nicholas Rossolillo; Kasey Rossolillo
About this episode

The announcement that NVIDIA's Spectrum X Ethernet is being used by Meta and Oracle has caused concern to investors regarding other networking companies. But should investors really freak out about this new competition?



We break down what Spectrum X is—NVIDIA's open-standards Ethernet system that competes with companies like Arista Networks. We also differentiate it from NVIDIA's proprietary AI training technology, Quantum X InfiniBand.



Discover the powerful counter-narrative: the strong partnership between Arista and Broadcom. They are working together on Ethernet-based XPU systems for hyperscalers. Broadcom has secured a massive $110 billion backlog and added new customers, including OpenAI, for these XPU-based computing racks.



With the market for AI networking and inference growing into a tidal wave, we explore whether there is plenty of new business to go around for Arista and Broadcom.
