San Francisco (MidLand) – Intel, Google, Microsoft, Meta and a number of other tech giants announced Thursday (5/30) that they are forming a new industry group called Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) Promoter Group, to lead development of components that connect the accelerator chip artificial intelligence (AI/artificial intelligence) in the data center.
AMD, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Broadcom and Cisco are also on the list of members of the UALink promoter group. The group has proposed a new industry standard for connecting deep AI accelerator chips server whose numbers are increasing.
“The industry needs open standards that can advance very quickly, in an open (format) that allows companies to add value to the overall ecosystem,” the general manager of data center solutions said on Wednesday (29/5) by AMD Forrest Norrod.
The industry, Norrod says, needs standards that allow innovation to work quickly without being limited by any company.
The first UALink products will launch in the next few years, Norrod said.
One tech giant not included in the group’s member list is Nvidia, which is by far the largest maker of AI accelerators with an estimated market share of 80% to 95%.
In Nvidia’s latest fiscal quarter, the company’s data center sales, including sales of its AI chips, increased more than 400% year-over-year (YoY).
According to a report from TechCrunch, the company may not be too keen on supporting specs based on rival technology.
In a recent report, Gartner estimated that the value of AI accelerators used in server will reach a total of 21 billion US dollars (1 US dollar = 16,160 Rp.) this year, which will rise to 33 billion US dollars in 2028.
