AMD is making a push to compete with Nvidia in the AI chip market, with their CEO claiming their new AI chips will match Nvidia’s performance at a lower price. Sam Altman of OpenAI seems impressed. Nvidia currently dominates the AI chip market with 85.2% market share, while AMD holds 14.3%. Cheaper chips could open opportunities for smaller companies and researchers. Independent benchmarks and real-world applications are needed to verify AMD’s claims. Altman’s excitement suggests AMD’s technology has potential. A key question is whether AMD’s new chips will reduce the cost of building AI systems. AMD is targeting Nvidia’s dominance directly, and price could be a major differentiator. Altman’s endorsement is significant, but real-world testing is crucial to see if the chips live up to the hype.
