- Each A100 chip is worth $10,000 to $12,000, and the H100 is far more expensive than that, Reuters reports.
- The report quoted Ian Buck, NVIDIA's general manager for Hyperscale and HPC, who said, "We're seeing a broad groundswell of AI adoption ... and the need for applying AI for enterprise use cases."
- In addition to selling Microsoft the chips, NVIDIA would partner with the software and cloud giant to develop AI models.
- Buck said NVIDIA would also be a customer of Microsoft's AI cloud computer and develop AI applications to offer customers services.
- The report further noted that the rapid growth of AI models, such as those used for natural language processing, has sharply boosted demand for faster, more powerful computing infrastructure.
- NVIDIA said Azure would be the first public cloud to use its Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking technology, which has a speed of 400 gigabits per second.
- Price Action: NVDA shares traded lower by 2.83% at $161.95 on the last check Wednesday.
