"Microsoft's In-House AI Server Gear Reduces Reliance on Nvidia: Report"

Microsoft is reportedly developing its own networking card for AI datacenters to reduce reliance on Nvidia's hardware and optimize its Azure infrastructure, following the development of its own 128-core datacenter CPU and Maia 100 GPU. The company's acquisition of Fungible has provided the necessary networking technologies and IP for this endeavor, with Pradeep Sindhu leading the project. The new networking card aims to improve the performance and efficiency of Azure servers, potentially impacting Nvidia's server networking gear sales. This move aligns with the industry trend of cloud providers developing their own custom silicon, but the initial results may still be years away.
