The rise of generative AI has been fueled by the likes of Nvidia, which has led the charge with its advanced GPUs. As demand outstrips supply, the H100 has become highly sought after and extremely expensive, making Nvidia a trillion-dollar company for the first time.

This phenomenon has prompted companies like Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Amazon, and Google to start working on their own AI processors. Meanwhile, chip makers like AMD and Intel are now locked in an arms race to release newer, more efficient, and more powerful AI chips.

As demand for generative AI services continues to grow, it’s clear that chips will be the next battleground for AI supremacy.
