Microsoft has unveiled its Maia 200 AI chip, CNBC reported on Monday. The company plans to use the second-generation chip to secure cloud customers and respond to demand from AI model developers. Maia 200 offers 30 percent better performance than the previous model and uses Ethernet-based connections instead of Nvidia InfiniBand. Microsoft will deploy it in data centres to reduce power consumption and maximise AI computing efficiency. It will not sell the chip directly.
