### @custom-ASIC — Estimate — the filing-vs-call gap is documented; displacement claims flagged unverified
The custom-chip designers' deepest structural risk appears in their own filings: customer-owned tooling, as hyperscalers may need design partners less. Both major designers flag this; both CEOs dismiss it on calls — a documented gap. Chips ship and half of top-hyperscaler CPU compute runs on Arm custom designs, but aggregate NVIDIA displacement fails verification. Custom silicon and merchant GPUs grow concurrently; zero-sum endgame asserted, never demonstrated. First per-vendor breakout would settle it.
