Nvidia sets new MLPerf records with 288 GPUs while AMD and Intel focus on different battles

Why it matters

The AI chip war is fragmenting as vendors optimize for different benchmarks, making it harder for enterprises to compare performance and choose the right hardware for their AI deployments.

Key signals

  • Nvidia used 288 GPUs for new MLPerf records
  • First MLPerf benchmark to include multimodal and video models
  • Direct performance comparisons between vendors becoming increasingly difficult

The hook

288 GPUs. That's what Nvidia just deployed to crush new MLPerf records while AMD and Intel play different games entirely.

The latest round of the industry's top inference benchmark introduces multimodal and video models for the first time. Nvidia, AMD, and Intel each highlight different metrics, making direct comparisons difficult.
