What happened

Nvidia uses its own hardware to run chip design workloads. AMD relies on processors from rival vendors to design its chips. The report provides few technical details on the underlying software. It highlights a key strategic difference in how both companies manage internal operations.

The context

Designing advanced chips requires massive compute power. Using in-house silicon lets a chipmaker test its own hardware while cutting reliance on outside suppliers.
