Microsoft has announced plans to expand its custom Azure Maia AI accelerator chips to multi-gigawatt capacities, marking a major shift in its cloud infrastructure strategy. The move signals the company is reducing its heavy reliance on Nvidia's GPUs for AI workloads by building out its own silicon at datacenter scale, part of the broader industry race to secure computing power for artificial intelligence.
- 2Nvidia reportedly halts RTX 5090 production amid AI demand●Nvidia reportedly halts GeForce RTX 5090 production in favor of data center GPUs
Nvidia has reportedly stopped production of its GeForce RTX 5090 consumer graphics card, shifting manufacturing capacity toward AI data center and professional GPUs. Reports suggest an impending supply shortage could drive up prices for gamers, while the RTX 5080 24GB is rumored to become the new flagship gaming card. The move reflects Nvidia's prioritization of far more lucrative AI accelerator sales over the gaming market, a shift critics say leaves PC gamers with shrinking high-end options.
- 3Microsoft's Maia Chip Bet Under Scrutiny Over Margin Impact▼Does The Maia Chip Bet Materially Alter Microsoft’s Operating Margin Outlook?
Analysts are examining whether Microsoft's investment in its custom Maia AI chip will meaningfully change the company's operating margin outlook. Developing in-house silicon could reduce Microsoft's reliance on costly Nvidia GPUs for AI workloads, potentially improving long-term cost efficiency, but heavy upfront research and manufacturing expenses may weigh on margins in the near term. The question of timing and scale of the payoff remains open.
