In a recent tweet, Jim Cramer discussed one of the hottest topics in the AI market. This topic is the question of custom AI chips and whether they are able to deliver just as well as NVIDIA’s pricey high-end chips. While some quarters believe that the cost benefits offered by the custom chips are superior, others hold the opinion that NVIDIA’s chips are still the best when it comes to total cost of ownership. Cramer’s tweet made it clear which side he’s on:
“It seems so easy to just go buy the Amazon or Alphabet GPU version but they are hard to get credit against and do not hold their value over the years like Nvidia’s do. Doesn’t matter tomorrow or the next day, does matter over the long haul. And i like AMZN & GOOGL”

“Yeah I’m not sure how much to rely on that because the narrative. . .reset by Jensen. And I think what he has to do is say that the total addressable market twice what people thought. And the thicket that he has to manage, Amazon and Alphabet. These are huge customers. They both on their conference call, do the, yeah NVIDIA’s important, we would never break up, but it’s our own chips, our own chips, our own chips. Andy Jassy, 50 billion dollar chip business. So what matters is, how much can he craft the story away from them, maybe using Anthropic, maybe using OpenAI, maybe using Meta, maybe using Elon. But David, you know that if he just goes in and doesn’t address the fact that these other guys are gunning for him, then I think [inaudible].
“. . .the fact is, Jensen is the best in the world, and if you bring yourself down, where you have to basically play defense, instead of offense, then I think people get confused. . .he’s gotta address the CPU issue, with Groq. And I think he can say, also, that people are misunderstanding the importance of these two hyperscalers. And that he can live without them. . .just has to say, listen, I love them, they’re great, but we’ve got so many people that want our chips. And the Vera Rubin’s sold out, next year. . .”
