Microsoft (MSFT) has picked SK hynix as the exclusive supplier of high-bandwidth memory for its new Maia 200 artificial intelligence chip, South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper reported Tuesday, citing an AI-translated version of the article.

On Monday, the US technology giant introduced Maia 200 as a new AI chip built to run large models faster and at lower cost across its Azure cloud platform.

Microsoft and SK hynix didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment on the third-party report.
