One question I have that nobody, including an Intel AXG employee, has been able to answer satisfsctorily for me is why both Gaudi and Ponte Vecchio exist. Wouldn't Intel have better chances of success if they focused on one product line?
- georgeburdell 3y agoGaudi was brought into Intel via an acquisition. Ponte Vecchio was an internal program. It can be explained by a combination of management silos and perhaps pre-existing obligations for Ponte Vecchio with the government for how they both came into being
- cherryteastain 3y agoSad if it's a management/politics happenstance than a genius master plan.
- wmf 3y agoIt's good risk reduction, especially since Ponte Vecchio failed.
- meragrin_ 3y agoFrom my understanding, Gaudi specializes in a specific use case (deep learning/AI) while Ponte Vecchio is more generic HPC. Also, DL/AI accelerators may not work well with newer models so the generic HPC hardware may be the only option for certain models until the DL/AI accelerators have a chance to catch up.
