U.S.-traded chipmakers plunged on Friday, losing over $1 trillion in market value, with deep losses in AI heavy hitters including Nvidia, Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices, as Broadcom's weak report earlier this week reverberated across Wall Street.

Friday's selloff added to losses on Thursday after Broadcom gave a quarterly report that showed demand for its custom AI chips business falling short of lofty expectations.
