Nvidia's graphics chips, crucial for AI training, have seen a surge in demand globally. Huang met with Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, pledging priority support for Japan.

Nvidia aims to create AI factories in Japan to process societal data and develop intelligence for various industries. Huang emphasized Japan's capacity to build its AI infrastructure, citing its extensive experience in mechatronics, manufacturing, and robotics.

Japanese companies like SoftBank Corp SFTBF SFTBYNEC Corp, and Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp, among others, are already working with Nvidia's chips to develop Japan-specific AI infrastructure. 

Nvidia has witnessed remarkable growth in the AI market, with its sales and market value soaring due to high demand for its chips following the ChatGPT chatbot's launch. 

However, competitors like Intel Corp INTC and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc AMD feel pressure as their data-center sales have declined, partly due to tech companies prioritizing Nvidia's specialized chip platforms, the Wall Street Journal reports

With their business heavily reliant on the PC market, Intel and AMD urgently focus on data center growth. 

AMD, which has successfully captured market share from Intel in CPU sales, is launching a new AI accelerator chip line called MI300 to regain ground. AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, anticipates $2 billion in revenue from these new chips in 2024.

At an upcoming event, Intel will showcase new AI chips, focusing on generative AI capabilities for PCs and smartphones. Analysts are optimistic about Intel's recovery in the PC and data center segments.
