At its Ignite conference on Tuesday, Microsoft announced that it has created two more infrastructure chips for its data centers that would facilitate the acceleration of artificial intelligence operations and improve data security.

Microsoft has invested much in the development of domestic silicon for AI and general-purpose applications. Similar to competitors Google (GOOGL.O) and Amazon.com (AMZN.O), Microsoft experts claim that creating chips specifically for their requirements has advantages in terms of both pricing and performance.

Custom chip design can lessen Microsoft’s dependency on Nvidia (NVDA.O) and Intel (INTC.O) CPUs.

The two new processors from Microsoft are intended to be incorporated deeply into the organization’s data center infrastructure. One chip is for data processing, and the other is for enhancing security.

According to Rani Borkar, corporate vice president, Azure Hardware Systems and Infrastructure, the company strives to “optimize every layer of infrastructure” and makes sure that Microsoft’s data centers process information at the speed that artificial intelligence demands. For this reason, the company designs a variety of data center processors.

A new cooling solution for data center servers that uses liquid to lower the temperature of adjacent components was also unveiled by Microsoft. Large-scale AI systems can be supported by the cooling unit.
