RedmondMicrosoft will deploy its own AI chips by the gigawatt.
The 96-chip Maia 300 racks aim to cut Microsoft’s cost of serving Copilot and OpenAI models.
Each Maia 300 carries eight memory stacks, and Microsoft claims 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading graphics-chip systems.
Analyst Patrick Moorhead says no one outside Microsoft has tested these figures.
Deployments start in 2027, and Microsoft shares more at Ignite 2026 next month in San Francisco.
