Oracle Says Will Continue To Buy Latest GPUs From NVIDIA, Need To Be Prepared And Able To Deploy Whatever Chips Our Customers Want To Buy

"Oracle sold Ampere because we no longer think it is strategic for us to continue designing, manufacturing and using our own chips in our cloud datacenters," said Oracle Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison. "We are now committed to a policy of chip neutrality where we work closely with all our CPU and GPU suppliers. Of course, we will continue to buy the latest GPUs from NVIDIA, but we need to be prepared and able to deploy whatever chips our customers want to buy. There are going to be a lot of changes in AI technology over the next few years and we must remain agile in response to those changes."
