Nvidia's success helped propel it into the exclusive tech four trillion club, ahead of industry giants like Microsoft and Apple.
GPU market growth and AI applications
The global GPU market has caught much of the world’s attention. This growth has been fueled by the expanding AI market, particularly in machine learning and deep learning applications. The generative AI market has also contributed significantly, with projections suggesting it will surpass *** billion U.S. dollars in 2026. These trends underscore the increasing importance of AI chips in powering next-generation technologies and applications.
Data provided by Statista Market Insights are estimates
Definition:Â
AI chips are specialized processors designed to accelerate artificial intelligence tasks. Unlike general-purpose computer chips, they are built to handle the massive number of calculations required by AI, performing many operations at the same time. This specialized design makes them much faster and more energy-efficient for running complex AI applications.
Additional Information:
The AI Chips market comprises revenue and revenue change as key performance indicators. Only the revenues that are generated by primary vendors at the manufacturer's price level either directly or through distribution channels (excluding value-added tax) are included, and the revenues generated by resellers are excluded. Revenues are generated through both online and offline sales channels and include spending by consumers (B2C), enterprises (B2B), and governments (B2G).
Key players in this market include NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TSMC etc.,
