I didn't know that CPUs do branch prediction until Spectre, I'm work in the steel construction industry so my knowledge of the works of CPUs is limited. Anyway

I didn't know that CPUs do branch prediction until Spectre, I'm work in the steel construction industry so my knowledge of the works of CPUs is limited. Anyway, I immediately though of this concept you've described: Artificial Intelligence is an abstract imagine, once implemented it's just "branch prediction", or some such.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone working in CPUs ever claimed that branch prediction is AI.

  As a matter of fact the two do: [0]. It appears now common place to use some kind of machine learning system in a branch predictor. Which some people consider to be AI. 0 - http://www.electronicdesign.com/microprocessors/ai-helps-amd-s-ryzen-take-intel http://www.electronicdesign.com/microprocessors/ai-helps-amd...
