AI晶片戰局丕變:NVIDIA斥資200億美元收購Groq關鍵技術與團隊
AI晶片巨頭NVIDIA與新創公司Groq達成協議,傳將以200億美元收購其關鍵技術與團隊。此為NVIDIA史上最大交易,旨在強化AI推論市場佈局,恐將改變產業競爭格局。
AI晶片市場投下震撼彈。晶片新創公司Groq宣布與產業龍頭NVIDIA達成協議,旨在「推進和擴展」Groq的技術。根據CNBC報導,此交易實為NVIDIA以200億美元現金收購Groq的資產,不僅是NVIDIA有史以來最大規模的交易,更可能重塑AI硬體市場的競爭格局。
核心團隊轉移,公司獨立運作
Groq在週三的部落格文章中說明:「作為協議的一部分,Groq創辦人Jonathan Ross、總裁Sunny Madra及其他團隊成員將加入NVIDIA。」然而,Groq將繼續作為獨立公司營運,由Simon Edwards接任執行長,其雲端平台GroqCloud也將不間斷地持續服務。這種安排顯得非比尋常,核心技術人才與公司主體分離。
NVIDIA的盤算:補齊AI推論版圖
這筆交易的動機相當明確。根據CNBC取得的NVIDIA執行長黃仁勳(Jensen Huang)的電子郵件內容,他表示:「我們計畫將Groq的低延遲處理器整合到NVIDIA AI工廠架構中,擴展平台以服務更廣泛的AI推論和即時工作負載。」此舉旨在強化NVIDIA在AI推論市場的佈局。
NVIDIA雄厚的財力是促成本次交易的關鍵。該公司在2025年第三季營收高達570億美元,比華爾街分析師的預期高出200萬美元。黃仁勳先前曾表示,旗下Blackwell系列晶片「銷售情況超乎想像」,雲端GPU已銷售一空,顯示市場需求極為強勁。
