    Maia 200: Microsoft's inference-first AI accelerator on 3nm

    Microsoft’s Maia 200 is not a subtle step — it’s a direct, public escalation in the hyperscaler silicon arms race: an inference‑first AI accelerator Microsoft says is built on TSMC’s 3 nm process, packed with massive on‑package HBM3e memory, and deployed in Azure with the explicit aim of...
