AMD launched a new artificial-intelligence chip on Thursday that is taking direct aim at Nvidia’s data center graphics processors, known as GPUs.
In the past few years, Nvidia has dominated the majority of the data center GPU market, but AMD is historically in second place.
The new AI chip is the successor to the MI300X, which started shipping late last year.
Most industry estimates say Nvidia has over 90% of the market for data center AI chips.
The new CPUs are particularly good for feeding data into AI workloads, AMD said.
