Intel Takes Aim At Nvidia (Again) With New AI Chip And Baidu PartnershipTrue Viral News

Intel practically owns the business of selling chips for data center servers. IDC pegs its share of the market at 99%. But Intel doesn't have such a strong grip on the latest, and hottest, slice of the market: artificial intelligence. It faces stiff competition from graphics chip expert Nvidia, whose graphics cards are currently the most popular for powering deep learning neural networks that perform mainstay artificial intelligence tasks like image recognition, voice recognition and natural language processing. Hoping to push back against Nvidia's inroads, Intel announced on Wednesday a new server processor tailored for artificial intelligence, the third-generation Xeon Phi, code-named "Knights Mill."
