OpenAI is reportedly working with SoftBank-owned Arm on a new CPU to complement the custom AI accelerator it is co-developing with Broadcom. The collaboration, first reported by The Information , would see Arm design a server-class CPU that anchors OpenAI’s next-generation AI racks, potentially representing one of Arm’s biggest steps into the data center market to date.

The chip in question is OpenAI’s in-house AI accelerator, part of plans announced on October 1

Intel on Tuesday formally introduced its next-generation Data Center GPU explicitly designed to run inference workloads, wedding 160 GB of LPDDR5X onboard memory with relatively low power consumption. The new unit is codenamed Crescent Island, and it will use the company's upcoming Xe3P architecture when it hits the market next year.

Intel's inference-optimized Data Center GPU codenamed Crescent Island will carry a GPU (perhaps two) based on the Xe3P architecture, which

AMD has showcased its Helios next-generation AI hardware platform built for the Meta OpenRack Wide form-factor at the Open Compute Project Global Summit in San Jose, California. Built for streamlined scalability within an AI-first data center environment, this is AMD's big pitch to compete directly with Nvidia's rack-based GPU and CPU combinations, like the Blackwell and Grace-powered GB300 NVL72 .

AMD debuted the Helios platform earlier this year , highlighting its

AMD and Oracle have inked a deal for a deployment of 50,000 next-generation MI450 Instinct professional graphics cards and Zen 6 Epyc CPUs as part of an "AI supercluster" Oracle is developing for its cloud infrastructure. It's not clear if this will work in conjunction with, or as part of, the previously announced deals between OpenAI and AMD , or Oracle and OpenAI , but it's yet another example
