Amazon is poised to roll out its newest artificial intelligence chips as the Big Tech group seeks returns on its multibillion-dollar semiconductor investments and to reduce its reliance on market leader Nvidia.

Executives at Amazon’s cloud computing division are spending big on custom chips in the hopes of boosting the efficiency inside its dozens of data centers, ultimately bringing down its own costs as well as those of Amazon Web Services’ customers.

      A) fuck Amazon
      B) yeah this is actually plausible. They made their own ‘Graviton’ ARM CPUs to reduce dependencies on Intel (obligatory fuck Intel too) and they’re a lot cheaper
