    Amazon to Sell Trainium AI Chips to Third Parties, Challenging Nvidia

    Question

    Amazon to Sell Trainium AI Chips to Third Parties, Challenging Nvidia

    Direct answer

    Amazon is escalating the AI chip war by offering its proprietary Trainium silicon to external customers. By clustering 144 Trainium3 chips into UltraServers, Amazon claims it can rival the performance of Nvidia's Blackwell architecture at a lower price point. This marks a shift from Amazon using chips solely for AWS to becoming a direct hardware competitor.
