Nvidia is the wide favourite to support its presumption arsenic the world's largest institution astatine the extremity of 2026, but Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is besides a beardown candidate.

Alphabet whitethorn commencement selling its in-house AI computing units to outer companies, which would grow its halfway concern and situation Nvidia. This could propel Alphabet to go the world's largest company, but it volition beryllium a pugnacious situation to dethrone Nvidia.

Nvidia makes graphics processing units (GPUs). Originally intended for processing gaming graphics, GPUs person been utilized to tally arduous workloads since their inception. Currently, they are the astir fashionable enactment to tally artificial quality (AI) workloads on, and Nvidia has ridden that spending each the mode to the top. With however overmuch wealth the AI hyperscalers are readying connected spending connected information centers adjacent year, their maturation volition continue.

Alphabet saw this coming galore years agone and developed its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) in-house, alongside Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). These TPUs tin outperform Nvidia's GPUs erstwhile the workload is configured properly, giving Alphabet's computing portion amended show astatine a cheaper terms tag. Originally, these were lone utilized for interior computing projects and made disposable to rent done its unreality computing offering, Google Cloud. However, Alphabet whitethorn see selling these computing units to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META).
