Artificial Intelligence chip race fueled by $34billion market

The race is certainly on to try out different ideas and architectures and see what meshes best with AI technologies and developers.

AI chip sales will rise by a projected 52% annually, from $4.27 billion in 2018 to $34.3 billion by 2023. This total is comprised of chips from the IoT enabled devices, personal computing, and data-center markets, all of which are great news for who supply ESD technology consumables to these markets.  The silicon brain, that can give rise to thought, emotion and behavior in a machine is firmly within reach. There have been seismic advances in software and hardware that are paving the way for next-gen computational systems equipped cognitive abilities modeled on the human brain.

Wells Fargo Securities believes the market for artificial intelligence chips will surge over the next five years.  Facebook is currently developing its own artificial intelligence chips that go far beyond what’s currently on the market, according to a report from The Financial Times that’s based on an interview with Yann LeCun, Facebook’s chief AI scientist.

The idea is the chips will be able to provide the faster computing that Facebook needs in order to achieve new AI breakthroughs including digital assistants with common sense added in. During the interview, Facebook indicated they are already developing its own custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) chips to support its AI software. “We are in the very early stages of beginning to consider the long-term importance that customized AI silicon will play in the overall semiconductor industry,” said a representative from the company.


AI workloads are more specialized, which is expanding the market for custom chips. (AMZN) and Alphabet ’s (GOOGL) Google are also developing semiconductors internally.  Systems have achieved improved AI performance by infusing machine learning capabilities with high-bandwidth CPUs and GPUs, specialized AI accelerators, and high-performance networking equipment.
