OpenAI has announced a multibillion-dollar partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to develop AI data centers powered by AMD processors, marking a significant challenge to Nvidia's dominance in the market. The five-year deal includes a commitment from OpenAI to purchase 6 gigawatts of AMD chips, starting with the MI450 model, as demand for AI computing power continues to surge.
Intel and Apple are in early discussions about a potential investment from Apple, following Intel's recent challenges in the chip market. While Apple has transitioned to using TSMC for its chips since 2020, the talks may lead to a partnership where Intel could manufacture some components for Apple, although a full return to Intel chips is unlikely.
