Microsoft to boost use of Maia chips to reduce Nvidia dependence
Microsoft has announced plans to increase its reliance on its own AI chips, starting with the third generation of Maia 300 accelerators, aiming to reduce dependence on Nvidia processors. Production is set to begin in 2027, and with its new design, each data center rack can accommodate up to 96 chips, doubling the code processing capacity—up to seven times more than Maia 200 processors—while also improving energy efficiency by 40%. Nvidia processors will remain part of the company's ecosystem; however, Maia chips will be used internally only, with expectations that they will account for about 10% of Microsoft's AI chip spending by 2027. The goal is to accelerate service performance and cut costs.
