AMD MI300X Becomes Alternative to Nvidia Chips as Meta and Microsoft Announce Purchases


Anthropic places a multi-billion-dollar computing order with startup Volta, breaking Amazon, Microsoft, and Google's dominance. Once cloud giants relied on land, power, and capital; now funding is ample, electricity is the true bottleneck. Power supply for new data centers from the big three is no faster than newcomers, so the deal goes to Volta.....
Samsung and Broadcom have reached a long-term deep cooperation, covering the entire supply chain of memory chips, foundry, and advanced packaging. It is expected that by 2030, the scale of cooperation will break through $200 billion, marking that AI chips have entered a stage of 'design plus manufacturing' deep integration. The core technology is Broadcom's ASIC custom design capabilities combined with Samsung's manufacturing. The two companies will jointly tackle challenges in sub-2nm process technology and HBM high-bandwidth memory fields.
Google's self-developed TPU transforms into commercial use, collaborating with Broadcom to provide AI infrastructure for customers such as Anthropic, directly targeting NVIDIA's 86% market share. With cost and system advantages, the commercialization process is accelerating, reshaping the competitive landscape of AI chips.
Samsung Electronics is facing a production capacity crisis due to the surge in demand for AI chips and plans to build an advanced semiconductor packaging factory in Gwangju, South Korea, to expand its production capacity. Meanwhile, the company also announced a diversified investment strategy, including advancing the robotics industry in Gumi.
Cerebras Systems successfully went public in 2026, raising $5.5 billion through its IPO, and its valuation surged to approximately $60 billion, making its founder a billionaire. The company was founded in 2016 and focuses on AI chip manufacturing, but it nearly went bankrupt in 2019, with monthly expenses of $8 million, almost exhausting its funds.
