Competitive advantages
The report identifies a strong, sustainable competitive advantage centered on customer lock-in and economies of scale.
Customer lock-in
CUDA tools and engineering experience create switching costs across code, teams, and deployment workflows. Framework portability and customer-designed chips can reduce those costs for selected workloads.
Economies of scale
Revenue scale spreads research and software costs across a larger business and supports access to advanced packaging and memory. These advantages depend on sustained adoption and supplier relationships. NVIDIA relies on third-party manufacturing capacity.
Under the report’s assumptions, the moat remains strong. Its durability depends on maintaining software and system value as custom chips, competing tools, and access to supply improve.
