marketbrief.now

Microsoft plans to deploy over 1 million Maia 300 AI accelerators next year, making its in-house chips the primary system for inference across all services and products including Copilot. The Maia 300, manufactured by TSMC on a 2nm process, features 288 GB of HBM4 memory and claims 40% more tokens per MW than leading GPU-based systems. The company aims to scale its Maia family to multi-gigawatt deployments starting in 2027 to reduce dependence on Nvidia and AMD.
