Microsoft's Next-Gen AI Chip Delayed, Production to Start in 2026
Microsoft, a big tech company, is having trouble making its next-generation AI chip, called Braga.
The chip, which is designed to power artificial intelligence, won't be ready as soon as planned.
Instead of starting mass production in 2025, it's now delayed until 2026.
This delay means Microsoft might fall behind other companies in the AI chip race, like Nvidia, whose new chips are expected to be faster.
The new chip is called Braga and Microsoft is working to catch up.
Microsoft's next-generation AI chip, code-named Braga, is facing a production delay.
Mass production of the Braga chip is now expected to begin in 2026, a delay of at least six months.
The Information reported the delay, citing sources involved in the project.
The Braga chip's performance is expected to lag behind Nvidia's Blackwell chip upon release.
Microsoft introduced the Maia AI chip in November 2023.
