> So Intel started with this strategy, and then backed away from it after one-and-a-half generations. Now yet they are (possibly?) canceling the successor to even the socketed version [2] and spinning up a compute GPU division. Quite a winding road in such a short span of time.
It looks like they search for a product/market fit, kind of like a startup which starts with one thing and then finds out that something else is far better and does that instead. Which is usually encouraged here. So, good for them? They experiment. Maybe they find something.
- chao- 9y agoOh, definitely. My post was not intended to be criticism of Intel. I sure as hell couldn't offer a strategy to a multinational semiconductor giant and hope to do any better. Mostly I am amused at how things come full circle: the Knight's Corner project came out of a canceled GPU project, and now they're back to GPUs.
