I agree, and I think Intel has had a hard time reconciling their potential against reality. It feels like they're gun shy after the continuous AMD and Apple Silicon advances, afraid to commit in case someone else is on the cusp of a breakthrough that invalidates entire product lines. While they were quick to put out a pytorch extension, they weren't prepared with OneAPI, OpenVINO, or hardware lineups to take advantage of the AGI whirlwind. Ironic, since so many researchers learned using Intel resources. Even ROCm is seeing more growth and use. I'm a little embarrassed, but I built a system around 13th gen for GAN and AGI work using the above Intel technologies last year, then immediately went out and bought an RTX 3090 and moved back to Threadripper. I just spent $90k building a research lab for AGI around Nvidia technologies instead of Intel. I don't particularly love their business history, but this feels like such a missed opportunity for them.
