I think Intel will be fine. Their far future is probably based around fabbing mid-range chips for other customers, which should be pretty lucrative (with or without Samsung as a competitor). Maybe they'll rekindle their RISC-V research once their ARM partnership winds down, or double down on their GPU line. They have a lot of options right now. > Perhaps there's a future where an Intel/AMD consortium could take on the dominance of Nvidia in the GPU ML space. The thing that is cementing Nvidia's dominance is industry hostility. If you could ship a truly cross-platform GPGPU driver to every modern device, CUDA would be a harder sell. Instead, the best you can get are intermediary libraries like ONNX that do their best to cherry-pick and expose common and accelerated operations. CUDA eats it's lunch in featureset and optimization. To fix this, you have to bring Microsoft and Apple to the table too. It is purely a matter of investment and cooperation, neither of which seems to exist right now.
