Amazon’s cloud unit AWS ‘considering’ AMD’s new MI300 AI chips: Report

Amazon Web Services, the world’s largest cloud computing provider, is considering using new artificial intelligence chips from Advanced Micro Devices Inc, though it has not made a final decision, an AWS executive told Reuters.

The remarks came during an AMD event where the chip company outlined its strategy for the AI market, which is dominated by rival Nvidia Corp.

AMD shares were up about 1% following the news. They closed 3.6% lower on Tuesday after AMD disappointed investors by not disclosing a flagship customer for its AI chip, which is expected later this year.
