Yeah. No problem, Vivek. Let me maybe break it into the two pieces you mentioned. So, on the DSP and optics side, look, it's been a competitive market. We got into this, as you all remember, through the acquisition of Inphi. And there's been these competitive dynamics from the beginning. Now this market has gotten big, right? So there's -- it would sort of only intensify. But we've consistently maintained a very high market share in this area through the integration of Inphi and Marvell and now as we're positioned going forward, primarily because, one, we've executed extremely well from an engineering standpoint. And also, we have the full platform includes DSPs, the broadband analog components like drivers and TIAs. We have the complete architecture and solution and also the partnerships with module vendors as well as the hyperscalers directly. And finally, I would say we continue to have a best-in-class roadmap as well in terms of the cadence, the power and the performance that we're delivering. So we feel very good on these transitions. As an example, we went through the 100-gig transition very successfully. The 200 gig ones in front of us, we're going to start shipping those products this quarter. Our 200 gig per lane, 1.6-terabit DSPs, and we feel very well positioned. It's going to be competitive, Vivek, but the team is actually really excited of what we can go off and do with the platform we have. And on custom silicon, I think our thesis is playing out in that given the tremendous increases in complexity of these chips, it's not about just having one piece of it, like a design service piece or a manufacturing capability, but it's everything. It's having the best-in-class technology road map in terms of nanometers, advanced packaging, I/O, et cetera, and then the ability to actually go execute these products. These are 100 billion transistor type of chips and so to package them up, get them to yield, ship them into volume, be ready to work on the next 1 parallel. It's a massive sort of effort. And so we think that, that still is going to be the winning strategy. And when we look at it from that point of view, we really have one large competitor that's very capable in this area as well. And we do think long term, given the amount of activity we see in AI, especially on the custom side, it's going to require a really scaled up full solution providers and partners like Marvell to compete. So that's the current status of those two from a competitive dynamic. Thanks, Vivek.
