Nvidia teams with Microsoft to build large-scale cloud AI computer - Technology Org

Nvidia today announced it will join forces with Microsoft with the objective to create a "massive" computer for AI applications based on cloud computing technology. This new AI system will run using Microsoft's Azure cloud. According to preliminary plans, it will contain tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs), most likely those based on Nvidia's latest and most powerful H100 and A100 chips. The cost of the project was not disclosed, but industry experts say it is possible to estimate the total price based on the prices of individual GPU chips. For example, a single A100 is priced within a range from $10,000 to $12,000, while the H100 is even more expensive than that.
