Azure Maia de Microsoft y chips Maia 200 y Maia 300

Microsoft is scaling its Azure Maia silicon family, including Maia 200 and Maia 300 chips, with multi-gigawatt deployments starting in 2027. These custom accelerators will serve as the primary inference engine for corporate catalogs, reducing reliance on third-party graphics cards. The next-generation racks feature a 96-chip configuration, promising seven times the token throughput of the previous version, shifting the AI competition toward high-voltage power infrastructure and proprietary hardware production for server efficiency.
