On August 15th, it was reported that SoftBank had discussed with Intel about producing artificial intelligence chips to compete with Nvidia, but the plan failed due to the difficulty of American chip manufacturers meeting the requirements of the Japanese group. Insiders say that SoftBank will accelerate the integration of Arm's design and Graphcore's technology to produce products that compete with Nvidia. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son plans to invest billions of dollars in an attempt to put SoftBank at the center of the artificial intelligence craze. He has put forward ambitious plans, including chip production. (Financial Times)
