Intel To Rival NVIDIA In The ML Market With Its Latest AI Chip

Earlier last year, Amazon released their machine learning chip AWS Inferentia at their AWS re:Invent conference. Designed by Amazon-owned Israeli company that works on building semiconductor systems, the inference chips are geared at larger workloads. In an earlier article, we pointed out how the release of inference chip is an indication of AWS's intention of strengthening its hardware muscle and also countering other cloud competitors like Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Now, Intel is fighting a battle for market size by emerging as a leader in AI compute performance and also winning over significant mindshare -- a turf that clearly belonged to NVIDIA so far.
