"NVIDIA and AMD Engage in AI Chip Competition"

2024-06-05

At this week's Computex in Taipei, the two tech giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) showcased their latest generation of AI chips, which not only drive the rapid development of global AI technology but also intensify competition in the field of AI design and applications.


Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the company's leading position in the field of AI accelerators during his speech on Sunday night. These accelerators are widely used in projects by tech giants such as OpenAI and Microsoft to support generative AI services like ChatGPT. Huang also humorously mentioned the upcoming "Rubin" chip, named after the renowned astronomer Vera Rubin. This product will succeed the Blackwell family and further solidify Nvidia's market position in the AI field.

Meanwhile, AMD President and CEO Lisa Su brought a series of partners to showcase the company's achievements in neural processor design. These chips can directly run AI services from laptops, representing AMD's latest progress in the AI field. Although Su's speech was short, she successfully conveyed AMD's determination and strength in the development of AI technology.

In this tech feast, the personal backgrounds and achievements of the two leaders also attracted attention. Both Huang and Su were born in Taiwan and grew up in the same city, making their success stories a source of pride for the local people. Despite their competitive relationship, they have both made significant contributions to the development of AI technology in their own ways.

Industry experts are concerned about the competitive situation between these two companies. Ian Cutress, Chief Analyst at More Than Moore consulting firm, said, "The competition between Nvidia and AMD is not only about market share but also about the future direction of AI technology." He pointed out that both companies are actively investing in research and development to drive the continuous progress of AI technology.

This competition has also attracted global attention from the tech industry. Hundreds of people attended the speeches in person, and thousands watched the tech feast through online live streaming. These viewers include industry experts, corporate executives, and investors, who highly focus on the latest technologies and strategies of both companies.

In their speeches, Huang and Su both mentioned the broad prospects and potential risks of AI technology. They emphasized that the development of AI technology will bring about a series of industry changes and the birth of new devices, but attention should also be paid to issues such as data security, privacy protection, and ethical considerations.

With the continuous development of AI technology, the competition between Nvidia and AMD will become more intense. Both companies are continuously investing in research and development to launch more advanced AI chips and solutions in order to seize market opportunities. This competition will drive the continuous progress of AI technology and the expansion of application areas, bringing more possibilities for the future development of human society.
