Microsoft Recalibrates Its AI Chip Roadmap
Microsoft released its first in-house AI chip, Maia 100, last year and originally slated Maia 200 for 2025. Facing design and tooling hurdles, the company has now moved Maia 200 to 2026. Its follow-up Braga chip only wrapped up design last monthsix months lateand the successor Braga-R won't reach mass production until 2028.
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with MSFT.
Clea, the third-generation AI ASIC, has slipped even further into a post-2028 timeline. These delays ripple through Microsoft's supplier Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), which provides key chip components and saw its shares dip on the news.
Custom AI silicon is a strategic lever for hyperscalers to optimize cost and performance, but extended timelines risk keeping Microsoft tethered to Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs. Slower in-house rollouts could impact Microsoft's large-scale AI deployments and cede momentum to rivals like Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:AMZN), which itself partners with Marvell on its Trainium chips.
By reprioritizing interim designs through 2026 and beyond, Microsoft aims to maintain progress in custom silicon, but it now faces a critical balancing act between in-house innovation and third-party dependencies.

NVDA, TSLA, PLTR: Retail Investors Traded a Record $6.6 Trillion of Stocks in Year's First Half
Uncertainty, volatility and relief led retail investors around the world to trade a record $6.6 trillion worth of stocks during the first half of 2025. Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Tariffs, market volatility, ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East, and political tensions within the U.S. all conspired to get investors to buy and sell a record amount of equities in the year's first half. According to data from Nasdaq (NDAQ), individual retail investors cumulatively bought $3.4 trillion worth of stocks over the first six months of 2025. At the same time, the retail crowd sold $3.2 trillion worth of stocks, bringing the total traded to $6.6 trillion, a previously unheard-of sum. Among the most widely bought and sold securities between January and June were the stocks of chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA), electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA), and data analytics company Palantir (PLTR). Bear to Bull Even more dramatic, most of the buying and selling that occurred in the year's first half happened in April and May after the tariff announcements from U.S. President Donald Trump rattled global markets and ignited fears of a global trade war and economic recession. Those fears have since abated as the Trump administration has struck trade deals with countries such as the United Kingdom and China, and backed down on many of its retaliatory tariff threats. Nasdaq says that some retail investors found this past spring 'the toughest investment climate' they ever experienced. Yet the initial concerns have now given way to bullish sentiment as tariff and trade war fears subside. Is NVDA Stock a Buy? The stock of Nvidia has a consensus Strong Buy rating among 40 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 35 Buy, four Hold, and one Sell recommendations assigned in the last three months. The average NVDA price target of $175.69 implies 10.26% upside from current levels.
