AI Boom Propels Server and Storage Components to 62 Percent Growth in 1Q 2025, According to Dell'Oro Group
Surging Demand for Accelerators, HBM, and NICs Underpins Record Expansion Across the AI Infrastructure Stack
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. , June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the on-going AI expansion cycle drove the server and storage component market to 62 percent year-over-year growth in 1Q 2025. The surging demand for accelerators, HBM, and NICs underpins record expansion across the AI infrastructure stack.
"The AI accelerator market was led by robust uptake of NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU platform as well as the continued rollout of custom accelerators by major cloud service providers," said Baron Fung, Senior Research Director at Dell'Oro Group. "We estimate Blackwell has already surpassed an estimated 50 percent of the company's high-end GPU shipments during the quarter, which in turn is prompting upgrades in networking, storage, and infrastructure across the data center.
"Meanwhile, custom silicon continues to gain traction with hyperscalers expanding their deployment of custom accelerators for both training and inference of large foundational models. Beyond AI-specific hardware, general-purpose components such as CPUs, memory, storage drives, and NICs also saw meaningful growth in early 2025. This was partly driven by a recovery in mainstream enterprise server demand, as well as inventory builds and component price hikes ahead of the anticipated expiration of the 90-day reciprocal tariff pause," Fung added.
Additional highlights from the 1Q 2025 Data Center IT Semiconductors and Components Quarterly Report:
The Server and Storage Systems Component market is forecast to grow by over 50 percent in 2025 despite tariff-related uncertainties.
SK Hynix led the HBM market with a 64 percent revenue share, followed by Samsung and Micron.
ARM CPUs now hold 25 percent of the server market, driven by the NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell ramp and hyperscaler custom deployments.
Smart NIC and DPU revenues increased by 71 percent because of strong deployment of Ethernet adapters in AI clusters.

Ohio State University going all in on AI to build ‘intuition': Provost
(NewsNation) — As artificial intelligence continues to be hotly debated in the United States, one college is going all in on letting the capability of computational systems perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence. Ravi Bellamkonda, provost and executive vice president at Ohio State University, joined 'NewsNation Live' to discuss the school's 'AI Fluency Initiative' beginning this fall. The 'AI Fluency Initiative' will be required of all students at the school. The hope is that the program will help students become bilingual, meaning fluent in their major field of study and applying AI in that area. 'We've been using all sorts of tools to augment learning, augment our understanding of the world,' said Bellamkonda. 'There's no question we live in a data-rich world now, from politics, to news, to manufacturing, to medicine, to all these fields of study and interest for our students. We have lots and lots of data. And the power of AI is to synthesize that data and make meaning out of it.' Regulating AI for ten years in 'big, beautiful bill' no help: Tech expert Pew Research Center said that in 2024, teens reported using AI twice as much as they did the year before. Over half say they think it's okay to use AI for research, while nearly 30% acknowledge it's acceptable to use AI for math problems. Less than 20% added that it's okay to use AI to write an essay. 'We really want to build intuition, judgment, and ethical understanding,' Bellamkonda said. 'When is it appropriate? When is it not appropriate? When is it hallucinating? When is it not? And we feel like having that conversation in the classroom with a professor in the context of the subject they are learning is really important for us.' High school students create AI-detecting app to help teachers Apple says it has a new research paper out that says artificial intelligence might not be as intelligent as some want it to be. The company's new research paper claims that so-called 'large reasoning models' and 'large language models' such as ChatGPT give up when trying to solve complex problems. Their researchers say this is proof of limited capabilities that keep artificial intelligence from reasoning the way you or I do. 'We had the same fear, if you remember, when we had calculators,' added Bellamkonda. 'We were afraid that people would store formulas in there and not really understand. That's the challenge we have as educators now is to still make sure that our students have a deep understanding of the subject and they're not just letting AI do all the thinking.' How AI is shaping industries across the US Bloomberg also reported that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is seeking a team to build an AI that could reason on the same level as a human. He wants to hire around 50 people for the project. This comes after Meta delayed the release of a big new artificial intelligence model last month over concerns it wasn't good enough. In addition, St. Petersburg, Florida, is installing AI or so-called 'smart signals' that can connect with tech in some newer vehicles. That tech can alert the driver about upcoming hazards and traffic conditions, such as flooding or a pedestrian in the area. The city is looking to invest more than $1 million in the project.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is getting quantum computing fever
Jensen Huang's doubts about quantum computing's potential — or at least the speed with which it'll develop — appear to be fading. Why it matters: The Nvidia CEO's perspectives on any technologies touching the AI economy are market moving and narrative shaping. Driving the news: Huang told VivaTech 2025 in Paris Wednesday that quantum computing is raring to go — something of a reversal from the outright skepticism he expressed earlier this year. "Today I can tell you there's an inflection point happening," Huang said. "It is clear now we are within reach of being able to apply quantum computing — quantum classical computing — in areas that can solve some interesting problems in the coming years," he added. "This is a really exciting time." Context: Nvidia products and technologies are used in quantum development. And Huang announced Wednesday that the company's quantum algorithm stack will be paired with its Grace Blackwell 200 chip to accelerate quantum efforts. The impact: His remarks delivered a burst of investor interest in quantum stocks. Quantum Computing Inc shares soared 25% Wednesday, while Rigetti Computing closed up 11%. How it works: Classical computers, even the most powerful supercomputers, do their calculations through the binary manipulation of bits, which can be in only two states: on or off, 1 or 0. Quantum computers use the quantum state of an object to produce what's known as qubits. The complex math behind these qubits can be plugged into special algorithms to do calculations that would be impossible for a classical computer to perform. This could have huge implications for everything from drug discovery, to financial modeling, to AI development.
