Künstliche Intelligenz: Gemeinsame Spezial-Prozessoren – Amazon kooperiert mit Qualcomm
Auch wenn KI-Modelle bereits trainiert sind, braucht es für den täglichen Gebrauch bestimmte Prozessoren. Die wollen Amazon und Qualcomm nun gemeinsam entwerfen.
In San Diego, Amazon and Qualcomm are collaborating on developing specialized processors for AI data centers, according to Qualcomm. The partnership is valued at up to $60 billion, and Amazon has the option to invest around $4 billion in Qualcomm, the chipmaker. As a result, Qualcomm's stock prices surged by nearly nine percent on Wall Street.
Amazon and Qualcomm aim to design processors that can handle pre-trained AI models daily. These chips are becoming increasingly important due to the growing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, both companies are researching new technologies for rapid data exchange. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon's cloud computing subsidiary, is the world's largest cloud provider.
By developing its own processors, Amazon aims to reduce its dependence on chipmakers like Nvidia or AMD. Other technology giants, such as Google's Alphabet or Facebook's Meta, are also pursuing similar projects. The combination of collaborations and potential equity participation is not an isolated case; in recent months, AMD has offered both Meta and OpenAI, the ChatGPT developer, shares in billion-dollar supply contracts.
