When it comes to AI, there are many different types of businesses that participate in this complex technological value chain. Some companies design or make advanced chips that perform intense computational work. Others build massive data centers or provide high-speed cables that let chips talk to each other. Eventually, these investments lead to the creation of computer programs that utilize AI workloads.
One important part of this AI value chain is server companies. These companies purchase graphics processing units (GPUs) from suppliers like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA). They then put those chips, along with other components, together to create a server. In its simplest form, a server is just a computer.
