The firm plans to install 1 GW of Ironwood capacity for Anthropic in 2026, followed by 5 GW of TPU version 8i in 2027 and an additional 10 GW in 2028 as frontier AI models scale.\n\nBroadcom's AI semiconductor revenue rose 54% sequentially and 221% year‑over‑year to $16.7 billion in Q3, representing 56% of total quarterly revenue. Management forecasts $21.7 billion for Q4, a 236% year‑over‑year increase, which would lift fiscal‑2026 AI revenue to $58 billion. The company previously supplied Google with tens of billions of dollars of TPUs each year, but the Anthropic relationship could overtake Google as its top XPU customer.","keyPoints":["Anthropic likely to become Broadcom's largest XPU customer in 2027‑2028.","Broadcom will deploy 1 GW Ironwood for Anthropic in 2026, then 5 GW TPU‑8i in 2027 and another 10 GW in 2028.","AI semiconductor revenue jumped 54% sequentially to $16.7 billion in Q3, with a $21.7 billion Q4 outlook."],"whyItMatters":"A shift of a major AI hardware client from Google to Anthropic signals growing demand for frontier AI models and could boost Broadcom's revenue trajectory.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["Broadcom","Alphabet","Google","Anthropic"],"models":["Ironwood","Tomahawk 6","Tomahawk Ultra","TPU version 8i"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-22T15:20:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-22T15:20:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"finance.yahoo.com","title":"Broadcom Just Named Its Next AI Customer.
