OpenAI has reportedly planned to purchase Google's TPU chips to expand capacity and diversify its supplier base, a move that directly challenges NVIDIA's dominance in the AI accelerator market. This development is bullish for Alphabet (GOOGL) as it validates its custom silicon strategy, while introducing a structural bearish risk for NVIDIA's long-term market share. Simultaneously, SK Hynix's record earnings and sold-out HBM backlog through 2029 confirm that demand for high-bandwidth memory remains inelastic, supporting the broader AI infrastructure thesis.
