Amazon is reportedly in discussions to sell its internally developed artificial intelligence (AI) chips to external companies with data centers. This move signals Amazon’s ambition to compete directly with industry leader Nvidia in the burgeoning AI hardware market. Bloomberg reported on the ongoing negotiations, indicating Amazon intends to leverage its chip-making capabilities beyond its own cloud computing needs. The chips, designed for AI tasks, could offer an alternative for businesses seeking to reduce reliance on Nvidia’s products. This expansion into external sales represents a significant step for Amazon’s semiconductor division, potentially reshaping the AI chip landscape. Details regarding pricing and specific chip specifications remain undisclosed at this time. The move could also impact other AI chip manufacturers and cloud service providers.
