The AI market is evolving from focusing mainly on GPUs for training large models to increasing demand for CPUs to handle inference tasks, which involve running AI models in real-world applications. This shift highlights the growing importance of steady computing capacity across servers and data centers as AI integrates into workflows like search, customer service, and coding. Companies like Intel and Arm note that AI server setups may require fewer GPUs per CPU as inference grows, benefiting server makers like Dell and HPE. This phase could broaden AI spending beyond chip training to infrastructure supporting continuous AI use, signaling a maturing market with wider investment opportunities.
