Gate Milestones

Growth is gated by milestones. Cost step-changes and capability unlocks are tied to specific milestones.

2027
Y2
100b exceeded
AI revenue exceeds $100B in FY2027 -- Hock Tan's target validated
Unlocks: Confirms ASIC platform model at hyperscale, justifies infrastructure investments
CEO: 'line of sight to >$100B AI chip revenue in 2027' [growth_trajectory.json]; $73B backlog supports conversion [growth_trajectory.json]
2028
Y3
8th customer
8th hyperscaler signs XPU deal (Apple Baltra confirmed + another)
Unlocks: Reduces Google 78% concentration risk; validates multi-customer platform model
Apple Baltra AI server chip for 2027 deployment [xpu_customers.json]; MediaTek CEO confirms negotiations with 2nd hyperscaler [risks.json]
2030
Y5
asic 40pct share
ASICs capture >40% of AI compute silicon (up from ~20% inference today)
Unlocks: Structural shift from GPUs to custom silicon for inference-dominated workloads
ASICs already ~20% of inference [competitive_dynamics.json]; inference becoming dominant AI workload [competitive_dynamics.json]
2033
Y8
next gen 4d
Next-gen 4D packaging extends lead vs Marvell/Alchip/MediaTek
Unlocks: Sustains design advantage for next decade of ASIC programs

2027
Y2
100b target
AI revenue hits $100B in FY2027
Unlocks: Confirms Hock Tan's target; validates backlog conversion
CEO: '>$100B' [growth_trajectory.json]; $73B backlog over 18mo [growth_trajectory.json]
2027
Y2
vera rubin impact
NVIDIA Vera Rubin narrows ASIC efficiency gap for inference workloads
Unlocks: Hyperscalers shift marginal workloads back to GPUs; ASIC growth decelerates

2027
Y2
google diversifies
Google shifts 30%+ of TPU volume to MediaTek, reducing Broadcom share
Unlocks: Breaks Broadcom's near-monopoly on Google TPU design
MediaTek 20-30% cost advantage on TPU v7e/v8e [risks.json]; Google planning 5M TPU units 2027, 7M 2028 [risks.json]
2029
Y4
customer insources
