US chipmaker AMD has revealed details of a new GPU for artificial intelligence workloads. It believes the MI300X can grab a slice of the AI chip market, which is currently dominated by rival Nvidia. And though the company did not reveal any big-name customers that will be using the new chips on launch, Amazon's cloud unit AWS is reportedly considering whether to deploy the MI300X in its data centres.

The new GPU was launched at AMD's Data Centre and AI Technology event on Tuesday, along with a raft of products which it hopes will help attract customers building and running AI models. Demand for AI chips has rocketed since the launch of ChatGPT and the subsequent avalanche of generative AI services, and so far Nvidia has been the chipmaker that has cashed in.
