Chipmaker Nvidia is clearly the poster child for artificial intelligence, according to one portfolio manager — but she says another firm is being overlooked. "[We] think of Nvidia as the poster child for AI chips, and they are. But, [Broadcom] was another company that posted over a billion in revenue from AI chips," Pleydell-Bouverie told CNBC's Pro Talks . For the first quarter , Broadcom said revenue came in at $11.96 billion , topping analysts' forecasts of $11.72 billion.

JPMorgan upped its growth forecast for the custom AI chip market and said Broadcom's dominance in the space is poised to continue. Essentially, these networking chips help make up the plumbing of data centers. The second line of Broadcom's AI business is custom processors, where the company is best-known for co-designing Alphabet's tensor processing units, or TPUs. Google-parent Alphabet and Broadcom have collaborated on the creation of the AI chips for years, with the sixth-generation TPU being announced last month . The AI chips made by market leader Nvidia and rival AMD are more general purpose.

This likely winner of a big chip contract from Google could see shares rally another 20% from here, according to JPMorgan. Sur also noted that this is the seventh iteration of AI processor chips the company would make for Alphabet. Broadcom shares have rallied 25% this year, with Sur's $1,700 target implying 20% upside from Wednesday's close. Sur said Broadcom is the second biggest AI semiconductor supplier after Nvidia and the market share leader in cutting-edge customer chip design. Combined, these projects could yield $11 billion to $12 billion in AI revenue in 2024 and $14 billion to $15 billion in revenue next year.

ORCL YTD mountain Oracle, Year-to-date A more cautious approach to a bullish bet on Oracle could be to buy call options.
