The integration of hardware AI enhances user experiences by facilitating faster data processing and contributing to the expansion of internet access through devices such as smartphones, smart speakers, and IoT devices. According to the International Telecommunication Union, approximately 66% of the global population, or 5.3 billion individuals, used the internet in 2022, representing a 6.1% increase from 2021. Therefore, the growing number of internet consumers globally is a key driver propelling the growth of the hardware artificial intelligence market.

Leading companies in the hardware artificial intelligence market are actively developing technologically advanced products, including new AI chips, to meet the rising demand for specialized hardware optimized for AI workloads. These specialized computing hardware are essential for developing and deploying artificial intelligence systems, addressing the unique computational requirements of AI algorithms efficiently. In December 2023, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., a US-based IT corporation, introduced two new AI chips - the Instinct MI300X accelerator and the Instinct M1300A accelerated processing unit (APU). These chips are designed for training and running large language models (LLMs) and boast increased energy efficiency compared to their predecessors. The MI300X, with 1.5 times more memory capacity than its predecessor, competes with Nvidia’s H100 chips in training LLMs and outperforms on the inference side. Both chips aim to power advancements in generative AI and efficiently handle the complex computational requirements of AI algorithms.

In July 2023, Nvidia Corporation, a US-based software company, acquired OmniML Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aligns with Nvidia's objective of enhancing its AI chips for applications in autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial robots. The acquisition of OmniML Inc., a US-based enterprise company specializing in hardware artificial intelligence solutions, supports Nvidia's efforts to build smaller, more power-efficient AI models.

Hardware artificial intelligence refers to specialized hardware components, architectures, and systems explicitly crafted to expedite and optimize the execution of artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. These hardware solutions are tailored to elevate the speed, energy efficiency, and scalability of AI algorithms and applications, surpassing the capabilities offered by traditional computing hardware.

The primary types of hardware artificial intelligence consist of processors, networks, and storage. Processors, acting as the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer, are responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and managing data flow within the system. In the realm of AI hardware, processors are utilized to carry out complex computations involved in training and inference tasks, leading to improved performance. Various product types in this category include the central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), memory, and modules. These are further categorized based on technologies such as machine learning and computer vision, as well as end-use industries including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), information technology (IT) and telecommunications, healthcare, media and entertainment, aerospace and defense, manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, retail, and others.
