CNBC got an exclusive look inside Amazon's chip lab, where AWS designs custom silicon in a race to catch Microsoft and Google in the generative A.I. race

CNBC got a behind-the-scenes tour of Amazon's chip lab in Austin, Texas, where Trainium and Inferentia are developed and tested. VP of product Matt Wood explained what both chips are for.

Trainium first came on the market in 2021, following the 2019 release of Inferentia, which is now on its second generation. Amazon's custom chips, from left to right, Inferentia, Trainium and Graviton are shown at Amazon's Seattle headquarters on July 13, 2023.AWS' cloud dominance, however, is a big differentiator for Amazon.

When choosing between Amazon, Google, and Microsoft for generative AI, there are millions of AWS customers who may be drawn to Amazon because they're already familiar with it, running other applications and storing their data there.
