Nvidia has been in magnificent form on the stock market in the past year, recording stunning gains of almost 207% as of this writing. This is thanks to the consistently strong growth in the company's top and bottom lines on account of the booming demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) first disclosed a stake in fellow semiconductor company Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM) in the fourth quarter of 2023. The position was valued at $147 million at the time, but a recently filed Form 13F shows the position is now worth more than $280 million and accounts for about 65% of Nvidia's $433 million stock portfolio.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has turned out to be one of the key reasons behind the healthy growth of the semiconductor industry. The proliferation of this technology has driven an increase in demand for multiple types of chips ranging from application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to processors to memory.

The AI boom still has a long way to go, and any of these three stocks offer a great way to invest in the long-term potential.

Despite playing active and lucrative parts in the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) are trading more than 30% below their peak prices.
