Technology Innovations Shaping the Future of Data Center Chips
Leading companies in the data center chip market are focusing on developing custom-designed infrastructure chips to boost server performance, improve energy efficiency, and support increasingly sophisticated cloud and AI workloads. These custom chips are engineered specifically for data center applications such as high-performance computing, data storage, networking, and AI processing, rather than for general-purpose computing. For example, in November 2024, Microsoft Corporation introduced Azure integrated HSM (hardware security module) and Azure Boost DPU (data processing unit) to strengthen cloud security and accelerate data-intensive tasks. The Azure integrated HSM secures encryption keys within dedicated hardware for faster and safer cryptographic operations, while the Azure Boost DPU offloads network and storage workloads from CPUs, enhancing data center speed and efficiency for demanding AI applications.
