Context
The AI industry is advancing at a rapid pace, with breakthroughs in ML and generative AI in the news almost every day. As AI technology develops, AI chips have become essential in creating AI solutions at scale. For example, delivering a modern AI application like facial recognition or large-scale data analysis using a traditional CPU—or even an AI chip from a few years ago—would cost exponentially more. Modern AI chips are superior to their predecessors in 4 critical ways: they’re faster, higher performing, more flexible and more efficient. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world, and an important part of the revolution is the need for massive amounts of computing power. Machine learning algorithms are getting more complex every day, and require more and more computing power for training and inference.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
At first, AI workloads ran on traditional central processing units (CPUs), leveraging the power of multi-core CPUs and parallel computing. Several years ago, the AI industry realised that graphical processing units (GPUs) were very efficient at running certain types of AI workloads. However, standard GPUs are no longer sufficient for those at the forefront of AI development, prompting the creation of increasingly specialised hardware.
