Maia 200 is built on TSMC's 3nm process node, and it contains 140 billion transistors. The chip can hit up to 10 petaflops of FP4 compute, Microsoft claims, three times higher than Amazon's Trainium3 competition.
大多数人认为3nm工艺主要用于消费级高端芯片，且认为在AI领域Nvidia和AMD是无可争议的领导者，但作者认为微软通过自研Maia 200芯片，在相同工艺节点上实现了比亚马逊专用芯片高三倍的性能，挑战了云服务提供商只能作为芯片'购买者'而非'技术引领者'的行业共识。
