After an epic run in 2023 thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) hype that turned out to be more than just a fleeting fad, Nvidia has soared into the public's collective consciousness. The GPU (graphics processing unit) designer is at the forefront of a movement to accelerate the world's computing infrastructure, and the company's shareholders have been handsomely rewarded.

Last spring, Marvell stock skyrocketed on the heels of Nvidia's own AI-fueled blowout revenue growth. The reason? GPU-powered systems used to train AI in data centers need to be networked together, and chips used to string these GPU systems together into giant computing "clusters" are a specialty of Marvell -- as well as its bigger rival Broadcom .
