As the other poster mentions, I assume their view is that these types of operations will become increasingly prevalent in consumer software applications. Lots will be powered by the cloud, but it would be useful if some inference can be done on a laptop CPU.
- Eridrus 10y ago"The cloud" still has to run the models on something, and as long as Intel roughly keeps up with the cost of specialised hardware for doing inference, many people will just keep doing inference on Intel CPUs, rather than bothering with specialised hardware.
- obmelvin 10y agoThat's true... I'd been assuming they'd use specialized hardware for inference when writing that, but totally failed to think how cost may make a CPU more desirable.
