Microsoft is developing its first self-developed AI processor, built by contract manufacturer TSMC. Redmond is probably hoping for greater independence from the previous in-house supplier Nvidia - even if Microsoft denies this. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is betting large, if not all, of his future on OpenAI, which Elon Musk once co-founded and co-financed for some time. In the past quarter alone, the company turned over more than 56 billion dollars – 13 percent more than in the same period last year.
