Context Before

Here, we will discuss our findings on where we see there are big changes in content for the supply chain coming out of all these announcements at GTC.

AlphaWave 112G Serdes in LP30

Evidence

It may surprise readers that Qualcomm has IP in the Groq LPU 3 chip! More specifically it is AlphaWave, which Qualcomm acquired last year, that is providing the 112G SerDes for Groq’s C2C. AlphaWave was selected as the only IP provider that has high speed SerDes for Samsung Foundry. It was AlphaWave’s SerDes that caused issues for Groq LPU 2. Alphawave will continue to be used for the LP35, but Nvidia will of course use their own NVLink SerDes IP from LP40 when it transitions back to TSMC.

Context After

LPX PCB

Next, we mentioned that a very high spec PCB is required for the LPX compute tray. We estimate that each compute tray main board PCB will carry $7k ASP. The suppliers for this are Victory Giant and WUS. Of course, there are several other PCB modules in the compute tray, but they do not need a high spec. Nvidia is continuing with their cable-less philosophy similar to the Vera Rubin compute tray which requires a lot of board-to-board connectors, which brings us to the next big beneficiary.
