Intel buys Deep Learning chip maker Nervana
- lettergram 10y agoHaving done a technical review of what Nervana has to offer... Why Intel? My assumption, is that Intel will lease the chips + software, similar to the way HP, Dell, etc. Lease GPU machines.
- jey 10y agoWhat regulatory approvals are required for this transaction?
- leblancfg 10y agoThey hadn't even started mass-producing chips, so, very little I presume.
- barbolo 10y agoFinally, Intel makes a move in Deep Learning.
- leblancfg 10y agoThis is so huge. I'm a little saddened myself, Nervana had the possibility to live on its own. I understand the capital investments needed to take on the other three giants were immense, but I thought they had the backing. Honestly though, I would still consider an internship there in a instant, were I better connected with universities. The things they do consistently blow my mind, and they are one of the few startups out there that do.
