There need to be more hardware companies putting any effort into ML. (Besides, say, Alphabet, which seems to be acting as a hardware company whose only customer is themselves.) Intel has indicated that they're working on it, and that's who I'm hoping for right now. If Intel came up with on-chip ML operations that are fast enough and made them work with, say, TensorFlow and PyTorch, I think that researchers would abandon Nvidia pretty much instantly. I've never had to worry about my "Intel driver" breaking.
