According to analyst reports, AI semiconductor revenue alone is expected to reach $16 billion in the third quarter, representing a massive jump of over 200% compared to the previous year.

The integration of VMware is further strengthening the company's cloud sector presence, with Q3 revenue guidance pointing to 84% overall growth.
