Microsoft plans to launch its own AI chip next month!
Microsoft is reportedly planning to launch its own AI chip to reduce its dependence on Nvidia in particular.
The chip will be similar to Nvidia's GPUs and is designed to run data center servers. This makes the chip less power-hungry. For data centers, power consumption is critical because data centers run 24/7.
The emergence of Microsoft's plan comes shortly after Reuters reported on Thursday that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is considering making its own AI chips.
This looks very interesting, can we see a battle between $MSFT and $NVDA, what do you think?
This could shoot MSFT up 🤔
So it's definitely an interesting step and I think it's a good one, it's going to create a bit of competition again and that should be good. On the other hand, Microsoft is already strong enough and if it manages to make its own chips ...well, great news for shareholders. 😊
