Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says Chip Sales Will Double Next Year
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company expects to sell twice as many chips next year as it does this year. This forecast was made at a summit with King Charles III in Scotland, where Huang also discussed AI safety. He attributed the growth to widespread investment in AI across industries and countries. Nvidia's product line includes data center GPUs like Blackwell and Rubin, as well as CPUs, switch chips, optical networking chips, and others. The company previously forecasted 70% growth for fiscal year ending January 2028, reaching about $673 billion in revenue. The announcement comes amid heightened public discourse on AI safety risks.
Major chip manufacturer's guidance indicates continued growth in AI infrastructure, relevant to AdTech as AI powers targeting, measurement, and generative capabilities.

Samsung to invest $1B in AI infrastructure firm Helix
Samsung Electronics and five affiliates will invest a combined $1 billion in Helix Digital Infrastructure, an AI infrastructure company launched by KKR and backed by Nvidia. Samsung Electronics contributes $500 million, with the rest from Samsung C&T, Samsung SDS, Samsung SDI, Samsung Life Insurance, and Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance. Helix, led by former AWS CEO Adam Selipsky, focuses on hyperscale data centers, power generation, transmission, and fiber-optic networks. The investment adds to over $10 billion already committed by other investors including KKR, Kuwait Investment Authority, Nvidia, and Vistra. The move allows Samsung to leverage its semiconductor, cooling, data center construction, and battery capabilities to expand in the AI infrastructure market.
GLM-5.3 Sparse Attention Impact on DRAM Memory TAM
This article analyzes the impact of sparse attention mechanisms, specifically DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) used in Z.ai's GLM-5.3 model, on the total addressable market (TAM) for DRAM memory, including HBM and NAND. It explains that while sparse attention reduces KV cache memory and bandwidth during the attention operation, it does not reduce overall memory capacity requirements because the top-k selection still requires full context in HBM. The article discusses system optimizations like HiSparse, which offloads KV cache to host DRAM to overcome capacity bottlenecks. It also provides detailed performance and cost comparisons for serving GLM-5.3 on different hardware (GB200, GB300, MI355X) using inference engines like Dynamo-SGLang, Dynamo-TRT-LLM, and ATOM, highlighting cost-efficiency and interactivity trade-offs. The analysis includes a deep dive into GLM-5's architecture, including the lightning indexer, MLA configuration, and post-training pipeline.
Alibaba's T-Head AI Chips: Cloud Customers or Qwen Training?
Alibaba announced at its Apsara conference that its new Zhenwu V900 AI chip will enter mass production and go on sale in Q1 2027, two quarters earlier than planned. This follows Huawei's announcement of its Ascend 960DT chip being ready in Q1 2027. Both companies face high demand and limited supply for their chips. IDC data shows Nvidia holds 55% of China's server AI accelerator shipments, Huawei 20%, and T-Head 7%. Alibaba plans to train Qwen models with 5-10 trillion parameters, but has not disclosed which chips will be used, raising concerns about competition between internal model training and paying cloud customers for scarce chip capacity.
