Microsoft AI Chip Ambitions Hit Major Delays, Pushed to 2028
July 3 - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has quietly pushed its in?house AI chip plans out to 2028 and beyond, according to a Wednesday report from The Information. Instead of racing to hit its 2025 goal, the company will double down on interim designs that are quicker to finish. That means the Maia 200 chip now isn't expected until 2026, a year later than originally intended. Maia 100, by contrast, launched last year as planned. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with MSFT. The bigger stars of the lineup, Braga, Braga?R and the next?gen Clea, have run into snags. Braga only cleared testing last month, putting it about six months off schedule. Braga?R won't hit mass production until 2028, and Clea has been bumped even further down the road. These shifts ripple out to Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), which builds critical components for Microsoft's AI efforts. MRVL shares dipped about 1% on Wednesday as investors weighed the news. Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ:AMZN) also leans on Marvell for its Trainium chips. By reshuffling its roadmap, Microsoft is aiming to rely less on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) while still keeping its AI engine humming. The big question now: can this slower, steadier approach deliver the performance the market expects? Despite the delays, Microsoft's commitment to custom AI silicon feels as strong as ever, and everyone's watching to see if the gamble pays off. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Ross Gerber Slams Trump's Tax Plan As 'Biggest...Scam Out There,' Says It Threatens Clean Energy Future: 'Big Ugly Bill'
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Investment advisor and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, Ross Gerber, has sharply criticized the new tax cut bill – One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was passed by the House and awaits pending approval from the Senate. What Happened: In an X post, Gerber labeled it 'the big ugly bill,' accusing it of sabotaging critical advancements in clean energy and transportation while conveniently sidestepping a notorious tax loophole known as carried interest, which he branded 'the biggest tax scam out there.' The 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' currently under consideration in the 119th U.S. Congress, has sparked debate with its proposed amendments to tax codes and energy policies. Trending: GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — Gerber, whose firm manages a $3.36 billion portfolio with a strong focus on technology, clean energy, and transportation as of Dec. 31, 2024, argues that the bill threatens to dismantle key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. That earlier legislation, enacted in 2022, has catalyzed $321 billion in private investment across 2,369 U.S. clean-energy projects, according to a June 5, 2025, report by carried interest, a tax provision allowing private equity and hedge fund managers to pay a reduced capital gains tax rate of 23.8%, compared to the income tax rate of 37%, on their share of profits, was also central to Gerber's criticism. According to Gerber, this loophole saves wealthy fund managers billions annually, disproportionately benefits the ultra-rich, while straining federal revenues. Why It Matters: Here is a list of a few clean energy stocks and an exchange-traded fund that investors could consider as a play on the possible effects on the industry, as highlighted by YTD Performance One-Year Performance First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) -18.41% -31.69% SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) -3.35% 44.17% Wind Systems (OTCQX:VWDRY) 11.76% -31.18% NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) -1.01% 1.42% Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) -50.21% -49.12% Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP) -20.65% -34.53% Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC) -63.69% -62.63% Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) -2.53% 43.25% iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN) 12.24% -2.18% Apart from these industry-specific effects, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is also expected to increase the federal deficits by $3.8 trillion, as highlighted by the Congressional Budget Office's estimates on the distributional impacts of the bill. Following Friday's record-setting rally, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in premarket on Monday. The SPY was up 0.47% at $617.80, while the QQQ advanced 0.71% to $551.98, according to Benzinga Pro data. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets?

Microsoft Recalibrates Its AI Chip Roadmap
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has pushed back its most ambitious in-house AI chipscodenamed Braga-R and Cleato 2028 or later, while deferring Maia 200 to 2026 and focusing on interim designs after development delays. 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.
