In early 2025, a cluster of AI chip startups raised more capital in a single quarter than the entire semiconductor venture capital ecosystem deployed in all of 2020. The number was staggering: over $
These are not consumer GPUs. They are purpose-built compute racks designed to train and serve large language models at a scale that would have been supercomputing-class just five years ago. Understanding how they differ is no longer an academic exercise. It is an infrastructure buying decision.
The AI hardware market hit $200B in 2026. Here's how NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and hyperscalers are competing.
