Not only are Nvidiaโ€™s AI chips faster and more powerful than most other chips out there, Naji said the firm has also โ€œdeveloped the broadest ecosystemโ€ of developers and software.
โ€œAnd so it's just so much easier to โ€ฆ build an application, build an AI model on top of those chips,โ€ he said.

Where are the other semiconductor companies? The Intels and AMDs of the world, surely they can build an AI chip and software somebody wants?

The article first mentions the reason Intel and AMD has a hard time competing (the development/software for AI are all focused on running on Nvidia and CUDA) and then asks where they are?
The chips are here already... well almost

The card you linked just shows how AMD isn't really competitive, 32GB at 640 GB/s for a 2025 pro ai card?

The 5090 already does 32GB at 1.6TB/s

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell does 96GB at 1.6TB/s

They will most definitely be cheaper than the 5090 though, and if 640GB/s is good then the AMD card could be interesting as it matches the 32GB. But then it falls down to software support and Nvidia gets a really good lead in usability again.

And Intels card is even further behind:

  • Memory 24 GB GDDR6
  • Graphics Memory Bandwidth 456 GB/s
