This is super exciting! Brings a bit of competition to NVIDIA for ML-related tasks, while being more "open" (to some extent) than the TPU ASICs (because you won't have single-cloud lock-in). In any case, good to see Intel finally waking up.
- nabla9 7y agoIs Intel planning TPU's or GPU's? I don't see how GPU with AVX512 can compete with TPU's or GPU's, BF16 or not.
- Havoc 7y ago> (because you won't have single-cloud lock-in) You don't really anyway. A GPU instance in Azure will beat whatever extension accel intel does on CPUs by a mile either way. Where there is lock in is one level higher...for ML all the other players are going FPGA which I reckon is a bad move.
