Amazon Web Services Likely to Use Newly Made AMD AI Chips
Amazon Web Services may make use of newly coming Advanced Micro Devices AI chips. AMD made this statement during an event of AMD. Amazon Web Services is considered to be the world’s largest cloud computing Provider Company.
Highlights
- Nvidia dominated the current AI chip market
- AWS still didn’t make any public statement to use AMD’s new MI300 chips
- AWS and Nvidia both will not work on the DGX Cloud offering
Amazon Web Services will likely use the new Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) artificial intelligence chips. AWS is the world’s largest cloud-computing provider recently assumed to be using AMD AI chips after the company declined to work with its rival company Nvidia.
AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su told in an interview with a news portal, an approach of attracting the major cloud computing customers by giving a menu of all the required pieces which will be needed to build similar to the powerful AI-generated ChatGPT, but the company is making the customers pick and choose which they want, using the standards connections on the industry.
“We’re betting that a lot of people are going to want choice and they are going to want the ability to customize what they need in their data center,” said AMD’s Chief Executive.
Amazon Web Services didn’t respond to the request for commenting anything on this news and of using AMD MI300 chips for its cloud purposes but Dave Brown, vice president of elastic compute cloud at Amazon, revealed AWS will consider them.
“We are still working together on where exactly that will land between AWS and AMD, but it’s something that our teams are working together on,” said Brown. “That’s where we’ve benefitted from some of the work that they have done around the design that plugs into the existing system.”
AWS also responded when asked about the status of working with Nvidia, AMD’s rival as AWS had declined to work with Nvidia on the DGX Cloud offering.
“They approached us, we looked at the business model, and it didn’t make a lot of sense,” said Brown.
