AMD is way behind. But one kind of competition that's going to more important in a year or two is that the huge companies (Meta, Google, Amazon) are working on their own AI chips, designed to run their workloads at lower cost (time and power) than they'd get from Nvidia. So data centers might wind up full of non-Nvidia chips, and Amazon may make them available to their customers. But they will probably be less flexible.
Here's what Meta says they are doing:

- not2b 2y agoIn many cases they are doing their own designs (done by engineers they hired away from the various electronics companies) and having either TSMC or Intel fab the chips for them. They can design specifically for their workloads to get better price/performance than they can buy from AMD or Nvidia.
