Cambrian Managing Partner Warns Labs Will Never Replace Silicon Wafer Makers
Launas Hamali, managing partner of Cambrian, argues that labs will never compete with silicon wafer makers due to decades of physical know-how and massive fabs. He notes that while labs compete directly with software designers like Nvidia and Broadcom, they will always remain customers for physical hardware.
“So there will never be a situation where the labs will compete with a silicon wafer maker. and we will always be a customer.”
