Trainium and Inferentia follow the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) route, which differs in design philosophy from Nvidia's general-purpose GPUs: GPUs gain flexibility from a large number of general-purpose cores and a mature programming model, while ASICs trade fixed dataflow and matrix operation units for energy efficiency and per-unit cost advantages.
