Microsoft is shaking up the AI game with its Maia 300 chip. By prioritizing memory bandwidth over raw compute, Microsoft is tackling data bottlenecks head-on.

With massive multi-gigawatt deployments planned, Microsoft is directly challenging NVIDIA’s dominance, aiming to control its own stack and lower long-term costs.
