New Delhi: US chip designer and computing firm, Nvidia on Wednesday announced a collaboration with Microsoft to build computers "at scale" to handle intensive artificial intelligence computing work in the cloud.
The AI computer will run on Microsoft's Azure cloud, with tens of thousands of GPUs, including Nvidia's most powerful H100 and A100 chips.
Nvidia declined to comment on the value of the deal, but industry sources said each A100 chip is expected to cost between $10,000 (roughly Rs. 8,15,400) and $12,000 (roughly Rs. 9,78,500) each, and the H100 much more is costly.
