That’s the idea but it looks like this might not pull it off unless Intel aggressively gives away optimized libraries. If it’s too hard to get to the point where it’s actually competitive, most developers are going to use the faster iGPU.
- touisteur 3y agoYou hit the nail on the head. Software, libraries, dev tools, profiling resources, mindshare... And for Intel, a good deal of maintained interest. For those of us who used and programmed SHAVE cores, to see everything slowly close down behind openvino, no apparent interest from Intel in years, the writing was on the wall. Repeatedly, they taught us: use nothing from Intel except main-mainline x86_64.
