InnerworldIntel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance
WioumI had to check the date on the article. They’ve been making GPUs for 3 years now, but I guess this announcement–although weird–is a sign that Arc is here to stay, which is good news.
This article was based off what the CEO said at the Second Annual AI Summit, following the news of their new head of GPU hire who says he “will lead GPU engineering with a focus on AI at Intel”. The AI pivot is the actual news.
AdrianTheFrogIt’s not even a pivot. They’ve been focusing on AI already. I’m sure they want it to seem like a pivot (and build up hype); the times before apparently just having the hardware and software wasn’t enough. nobody cared when the gaudi cards came out, nobody uses sycl or onednn, etc
