NVIDIA Prepared to Offer Custom Chip Designs to AI Clients

[SOAREVERSOR]

AMD is already doing custom APUs. In AI is a little (too much) late, so they need time to catch up with Nvidia. Intel's focus is on manufacturing.
Nvidia is doing custom chips a little time now, to circumvent restrictions and keep selling to China.

nvidia has almost always done custom chips. The original xbox GPU was a custom spin off of a geforce3 and the PS3 chip was a custom spin off of a 7800. They do custom. All these companies do. It's just not advertized.

Big green also makes more than just GPUs. Costom chip can mean a lot of things. Doesn't need to mean a GPU. In some spaces custom storage or network type controllers are worth a lot more than a custom AI or GPU though these are often also used.

It seems like a lot of people here think chip + GPU or x86 CPU and just ignore how small of the market that is.

Prepared to offer

or

prepared to Sell??

Amusingly, AI will probably assist in accelerating development of custom chip designs.

Anyhow this makes sense like a bakery branching out into custom cake orders.

The big question is when will AMD and Intel offer similar services to compete with this rumored Nvidia offering? Nvidia is already dominating marketshare right now. Staying with off-the-shelf designs probably isn't going to be competitive advantage.

Doesn't AMD already offer custom chip designs? They may not advertise specific to AI, but if that was what the customer wanted.

They all offer custom chip designs and always have. It's just as those products don't drive mUh G4m1nG PC nonsense people here don't pay attention to them.

if you had put 10 grand in nvidia stock ten years ago, you'd have almost 2 million dollars now. fucking wild. lol

Not crazy about AI, but my friend just entered an AI program that is supposed to cure diabetes.. That could be one great thing that comes from AI!
