AI chip
Machine learning hardware
An AI chip is a processor designed specifically for artificial intelligence tasks—training neural networks and running machine learning models.
These chips handle the parallel computations AI requires more efficiently than general-purpose processors: Nvidia dominates the AI chip market.
Also called neural processing units or AI accelerators.
