Nvidia - Oracle

Oracle spending 'billions' on Nvidia chips this year, Larry Ellison says

Oracle's cloud ☁️ division is working to gain ground against larger rivals such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Corp. To get an edge, Oracle has focused on building fast networks that can shuffle around the huge amount of data needed to create AI systems similar to ChatGPT by OpenAI.

"This year, Oracle will buy GPUs and CPUs from three companies," Ellison said. "We will buy GPUs from Nvidia, and we're buying billions of dollars of those. We will spend three times that on CPUs from Ampere and AMD. We still spend more money on conventional compute."

Oracle said last month it had struck a deal with Cohere, an AI startup founded by ex-Google engineers, under which Cohere will offer its AI software running on supercomputers inside Oracle's data centers with as many as 16,000 Nvidia chips each.
