While Nvidia remains at the top of the AI computing hierarchy, several other companies are vying to grab a sizeable piece of the market with AI chips that either go head-to-head with Nvidia’s fastest GPUs or go after adjacent opportunities like the edge.

While Nvidia remains at the top of the AI computing hierarchy with its GPUs, several other companies are vying to grab a sizeable piece of the market with AI chips that either go head-to-head with Nvidia’s fastest or go after adjacent opportunities like the edge.

These include companies big and small, ranging from Nvidia customers such as Amazon and Google to direct competitors like AMD and d-Matrix, the latter of which belongs to a stable of startups developing new chip architectures from the ground up.

Most recently, AMD revealed its biggest challenge to Nvidia yet with the Instinct MI350 series that will provide 60 percent greater high-bandwidth memory capacity than its rival’s B200 GPU and GB200 Superchip. This helps the MI355X provide up to 40 percent more tokens per dollar for than the B200 for inferencing models, according to the company.

As part of CRN’s AI Week 2025, here are seven cutting-edge AI chips from Nvidia and rivals that have been released in the past several months or are coming to the market later this year.
