☆ Intel unveils latest AI chip as Nvidia competition heats up
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-09 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Nvidia has an estimated 80% of the AI chip market with its graphics processors, known as GPUs, which have been the high-end chip of choice for AI builders over the past year. Intel says the new Gaudi 3 chip is over twice as power-efficient as and can run AI models one-and-a-half times faster than Nvidia's H100 GPU. Intel on Tuesday unveiled its latest artificial intelligence chip, called Gaudi 3, as chipmakers rush to produce semiconductors that can train and deploy big AI models, such as the one underpinning OpenAI's ChatGPT. AMD is also looking to expand and sell more AI chips for servers. Intel is teaming up with other chip and software giants, including Google , Qualcomm and Arm to build open software that isn't proprietary and could enable software companies to easily switch chip providers.

The Santa Clara giant's chips, known as GPUs, became the hottest property of the generative AI boom. In April last year, Zhou and her cofounder Greg Diamos, based in Palo Alto, brought their new startup, Lamini AI, out of stealth. It makes using AI models with GPUs like the H100 and Nvidia's new Blackwell chip, as simple as a plug-and-play system. Fortunately for them, after consulting with Diamos, according to Zhou, AMD was on its way to building a rival system that they would eventually test. it's indiscernible to customers to run Lamini on Nvidia and AMD GPUs," she explained.

U.S. chipmaker Nvidia has been getting a lot of love from market watchers this year – and growth investor Nick Griffin is no exception. NVDA YTD mountain Year-to-date share price of Nvidia Griffin does not expect this phenomenon to have a significant impact on the company in the long-term. So, short-term, I understand the negativity – but long-term, it's not going to change the fact that people want to buy their chips," Griffin said. Going forward he foresees an increase in the demand for GPUs - which would possibly chip away Nvidia's market share to around 60%. While this may mean a loss of market share to its fellow chipmakers, the growth investor believes that Nvidia is in "a very unique position."

A partner at a Chinese semiconductor investment fund has welcomed the U.S. government's ban of certain advanced chip types to be exported to China, describing the move as "great news" which may stimulate a domestic ecosystem. Nvidia's H100 chip, used by AI firms in the U.S., was banned for sale in earlier U.S. government restrictions. Wang said the fund invests in semiconductor companies, including those in the AI training and autonomous vehicle sectors. One AI chip company Yang Cheng has invested in will launch its initial public offering this year, while a Shanghai-based AI chip firm is valued at more than $3 billion, Wang added, though she didn't name the firms. "We believe those kind of upstream chipmakers — they will drive, or they will play the leading role in China, and they will create their own ecosystem," Wang added.

Huawei's Ascend AI chips are comparable to Nvidia's in terms of raw computing power, analysts and some AI firms such as China's iFlyTek (002230.SZ) say, but they still lag behind in performance. "This U.S. move, in my opinion, is actually giving Huawei's Ascend chips a huge gift," Jiang said in a post on his social media Weibo account. Huawei and Nvidia did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Huawei's partners in China so far include iFlyTek, a leading Chinese AI software company which is using the Ascend 910 to train its AI models.

Nvidia is now expected to post $12 billion in data center sales in the current quarter, according to FactSet data. AMD and Intel are trying to stay relevant in the AI market, but it's a struggle. Like Intel, AMD faces a timing challenge.

☆ Nvidia's blowout earnings report shows chipmaker is gobbling up all the profit in AI
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

About half of Nvidia's data center revenue comes from cloud providers, followed by big internet companies. The growth in Nvidia's data center business was in "compute," or AI chips, which grew 195% during the quarter, more than the overall business's growth of 171%. Some startups have even gone into debt to buy Nvidia GPUs in hopes of renting them out for a profit in the coming months. On an earnings call with analysts, Nvidia officials gave some perspective about why its data center chips are so profitable. Nvidia's AI software, called Cuda, is cited by analysts as the primary reason why customers can't easily switch to competitors like AMD .

Nvidia shares have nearly tripled in value this year, adding more than $700 billion to the company's market valuation and making it the first trillion-dollar chip firm. If Nvidia shows weakness, we could be in for quite a substantial correction in the market." Nvidia has only forecast revenue below estimates once in the past two years. Citi analysts said last week they were only modeling a revenue forecast of around $12 billion, but buy-side expectations have gone up to $14 billion. AMD expects to start shipping the chip in the fourth quarter and could control roughly 10% of the AI chip market next year, analysts said.

"No one is coming for Nvidia on AI, period, any time soon," Stifel analyst Ruben Roy told CNBC in an interview Wednesday. The new version of Grace Hopper primarily delivers improvements in memory capacity and bandwidth compared with the first-generation product. In practice, improving the memory capacity and bandwidth of the Grace Hopper Superchip should help AI applications run more efficiently and smoothly. Volume production of the improved Grace Hopper Superchip is expected in the second quarter of 2024, according to Nvidia. Open-source software Nvidia's closed-source CUDA software platform – along with a library of pre-trained AI models — has helped establish the company's AI dominance.

Wall Street kicked off the week with bullish takes on several high-flying tech stocks in the portfolio — validating our decision to stick with these mega-caps heading into quarterly earnings. It's also important to understand that some price target raises are just chasing a big move, and that the price reaction to an earnings release has less to do with the results and much more to do with expectations. It's also why Citigroup also put AMD on a "negative catalyst watch," meaning it is negative on the stock heading into earnings. In the analysts' view, Apple has an opportunity to grow its revenue by seven times in the U.S. over the next decade to about $40 billion, while adding 170 million new users.

Analysts who've been very optimistic about the stock believe that like Nvidia, AMD has the potential to ride the AI wave . One bright spot is that AMD is pulling market share away from Intel , Ross said. However, that area of AI is currently cornered by Nvidia, which has around 75% market share, according to BofA. But BofA still retained its neutral rating for AMD, as it believes that gaining market share against Nvidia could prove tougher than expected.

Nvidia chips have been at the heart of major tech tends from video games to self-driving cars, to cloud computing, and now AI - artificial intelligence. Born in Taiwan, Huang moved to the United States as a child, earning engineering degrees at Oregon State University and Stanford University. Its first big hits were specialized chips to power high-intensity motion graphics for computer games called graphics processing units (GPUs). Even then, Huang did not think of Nvidia as just a chip company. "Computer graphics is one of the most complex parts of computer science," Huang told an audience in Silicon Valley in 2021 while receiving a lifetime achievement award.

NVDA YTD mountain Nvidia shares so far this year Nvidia's stock' is trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of roughly 58 times. The focus on Nvidia's capabilities in this area have only grown since it unveiled new AI technologies at its GTC conference. On the heels of the conference, Goldman Sachs called the chipmaker a "key AI enabler," while Bank of America said Nvidia's AI dominance could "reshape the existing tech industry." That's in part because along with the hardware and software, Nvidia offers the engineers and relationships with both end-users and research organizations, which could stunt competitor plans from the get-go, Freund explained . Because so many engineers are already using Nvidia's software, some companies may face resistance if attempting to transition to a new language, explained Pieran Maru, an investment analyst at global asset management firm GAM Investments.
