Future Intel Corporation Xeon Processors to Include Machine Learning Acceleration -- The Motley Fool

At a recent investor conference, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) CEO Brian Krzanich offered significant insight into the company's view of -- and strategy to win in -- the market for chips that handle artificial intelligence/machine learning workloads. Krzanich started by noting that artificial intelligence and machine learning (I'll refer to these as simply "machine learning" from here on out) represent a relatively small part of the overall data center market today, but acknowledged that it's the quickest-growing data center workload. Moreover, Krzanich even said that, over the long term, Intel expects it to be the largest workload within the data center. "Where will it end [up]? Will it be 25% of the workload? There's debate, there's debates out there; it's going to be large, so we get it," Krzanich said.
