Microsoft First In-House AI Chip “Maia” Produced by TSMC’s 5nm

　　On the 15th, Microsoft introducing its first in-house AI chip, “Maia.” This move signifies the entry of the world’s second-largest cloud service provider (CSP) into the domain of self-developed AI chips. Concurrently, Microsoft introduced the cloud computing processor “Cobalt,” set to be deployed alongside Maia in selected Microsoft data centers early next year. Both cutting-edge chips are produced using TSMC’s advanced 5nm process, as reported by UDN News.　　Amidst the global AI fervor, the trend of CSPs developing their own AI chips has gained momentum. Key players like Amazon, Google, and Meta have already ventured into this territory. Microsoft, positioned as the second-largest CSP globally, joined the league on the 15th, unveiling its inaugural self-developed AI chip, Maia, at the annual Ignite developer conference.　　These AI chips developed by CSPs are not intended for external sale; rather, they are exclusively reserved for in-house use. However, given the commanding presence of the top four CSPs in the global market, a significant business opportunity unfolds. Market analysts anticipate that, with the exception of Google—aligned with Samsung for chip production—other major CSPs will likely turn to TSMC for the production of their AI self-developed chips.　　TSMC maintains its consistent policy of not commenting on specific customer products and order details.　　TSMC’s recent earnings call disclosed that 5nm process shipments constituted 37% of Q3 shipments this year, making the most substantial contribution. Having first 5nm plant mass production in 2020, TSMC has introduced various technologies such as N4, N4P, N4X, and N5A in recent years, continually reinforcing its 5nm family capabilities.　　Maia is tailored for processing extensive language models. According to Microsoft, it initially serves the company’s services such as $30 per month AI assistant, “Copilot,” which offers Azure cloud customers a customizable alternative to Nvidia chips.　　Borkar, Corporate VP, Azure Hardware Systems & Infrastructure at Microsoft, revealed that Microsoft has been testing the Maia chip in Bing search engine and Office AI products. Notably, Microsoft has been relying on Nvidia chips for training GPT models in collaboration with OpenAI, and Maia is currently undergoing testing.　　Gulia, Executive VP of Microsoft Cloud and AI Group, emphasized that starting next year, Microsoft customers using Bing, Microsoft 365, and Azure OpenAI services will witness the performance capabilities of Maia.　　While actively advancing its in-house AI chip development, Microsoft underscores its commitment to offering cloud services to Azure customers utilizing the latest flagship chips from Nvidia and AMD, sustaining existing collaborations.　　Regarding the cloud computing processor Cobalt, adopting the Arm architecture with 128 core chip, it boasts capabilities comparable to Intel and AMD. Developed with chip designs from devices like smartphones for enhanced energy efficiency, Cobalt aims to challenge major cloud competitors, including Amazon.

Microsoft, MediaTek Team on IoT SoC

　　MediaTek is working with Microsoft to deliver this year the first Azure Sphere chip, the MT3620 that the partners expect to drive IoT innovation with built-in security and connectivity.　　Azure Sphere is designed for highly secured, connected MCU-powered devices at a price that the companies expect will make enterprise-class security affordable for an array of cloud-connected gadgets.　　MediaTek and Microsoft have worked together to develop a specialized chipset with a Wi-Fi connected controller built around a processor designed to run Azure Sphere’s IoT operating system that includes support for Microsoft’s latest security protocols. The chipsets will be sold as part of the Azure Sphere solution, enabling customers to connect their MCU-powered products and devices with protection and security provided by Microsoft.　　"Microsoft had a vision we also believed in. Bringing trust and security into IoT solutions from chip to cloud, to make connected devices practical to sell and manage for businesses and consumers," said Jerry Yu, a MediaTek vice president, in a press statement.　　MediaTek is the reference chip partner for the Azure Sphere Partner Program.　　Cost and Security　　The partners expect a significant drop in the cost of connectivity will allow billions of MCU-powered devices, from household appliances and health monitors to children’s toys and industrial equipment to become IoT devices.　　Yet each connection is vulnerable to attacks. IoT won’t become a mass market until devices, data and cloud are secure. That’s the fundamental problem the two companies aim to solve with their latest project.　　With more than 9 billion microcontroller-powered devices entering the market annually, Microsoft and MediaTek see as critical the need to ensure every connected device, regardless of price point, has the highest level of security embedded.　　"In the next decade we’ll see the democratization of connectivity to billions of devices,” said Microsoft Managing Director Galen Hunt. "Azure Sphere brings together the best of Microsoft’s expertise in cloud, software, and silicon - resulting in a unique approach to security that starts in the silicon and extends to the cloud."　　The MediaTek MT3620 is the first Azure Sphere-certified chip, which the companies expect will be the foundation for a new generation of secure intelligent edge devices and solutions.　　With Azure Sphere, Microsoft aims to build a new ecosystem, consisting of silicon vendors, ODMs and OEMs from a broad range of industries.　　Recognizing the opportunities and risks associated with the growing number of IoT devices and applications, a group of companies have banded together to ensure that security standards are developed and upheld, according to Microsoft.　　MediaTek is now sampling chips with lead customers and expects to ramp production by the third quarter of 2018.

Microsoft to make $5bn investment into IoT

　　Microsoft has announced it will invest $5 billion in the IoT over the next 4 years in an effort to ‘give every customer the ability to transform their businesses, and the world at large, with connected solutions’.　　The company claims that it’s been investing in IoT before the term was even coined, and is now planning to dedicate ‘even more’ resources to research and innovation in IoT, which it says is ‘evolving to be the new intelligent edge’.　　According to Microsoft, it’s seeing the increased adoption and exponential growth that analysts have been forecasting for years, and apparently, it’s ‘only just getting started’.　　A.T. Kearney predicts IoT will lead to a $1.9 trillion productivity increase and $177 billion in reduced costs by 2020. Microsoft believes this effect will be pervasive, from connected homes and cars, to manufacturers, smart cities and utilities—and everything in between.　　This increased investment will support continued innovation in its technology platform, Microsoft adds, and the company intends to continue research and development in key areas. This includes securing IoT, creating development tools and intelligent services for IoT and the edge, and investments to grow its partner ecosystem.　　Microsoft says that companies such as Steelcase, Kohler, Chevron, United Technologies and Johnson Controls are all already innovating with its IoT platform, launching products, solutions and services that ‘transform’ their business.　　With each of these new implementations, Microsoft says that it’s witnessing a ‘unique transformation’, along with gaining insight into how both customers and partners overcome the specific challenges of building an IoT solution that harnesses massive amounts of data.　　Although Microsoft is looking to spend $5 billion, it hasn’t given specifics on this spend, which is understandable. The company appears to be waiting to see what will happen in the next 4 years with this intelligent edge and what will be a worthwhile investment.
