Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) has teamed up with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT)西野翔吧, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) to develop a new AI accelerator standard, a move that could potentially disrupt the AI hardware market.
What Happened: The new standard, Ultra Accelerator Link, is designed to efficiently connect hundreds of AI accelerators, the chipmaker said in its second-quarter earnings call.
The partnership also includes other major tech players like Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE:HPE), indicating broad industry support for the initiative.
During AMD's second-quarter earnings call, CEO Lisa Su highlighted the importance of this industry-wide effort. The UAL technology is based on AMD's proven Infinity Fabric, which has been a key component in the company's data center products.
The partnership comes at a time when the demand for AI computing power is surging, driven by advancements in generative AI and the development of more sophisticated models.
