Tiny Chipmaker Powering NVIDIA's Next-Gen AI Superchips
NVIDIA recently signed a 20-year exclusive supply deal with this company — one of the longest in tech history.
And it's no wonder why…
This obscure firm holds 7,000+ patents on the "AI brain" architecture.
Patents so valuable, the US government blocked NVIDIA from buying them outright - calling the technology "vital to national security."
Today, this company collects royalties from Apple, Samsung, Google, Amazon, Qualcomm… even NVIDIA itself.
And with NVIDIA's next major announcement expected in just days… analysts believe shares of this stock could surge triple digits.
