"90% of the world's supercomputers run on Intel technology," Diane Bryant tells me at SxSW. "And 95% of artificial intelligence solutions run on Intel Xeon and Xeon Phi processors." Bryant is an Intel veteran who joined the semiconductor giant right after getting an electrical engineering degree from U.C. Davis. Starting a a microprocessor design engineer, she quickly worked her way up the ranks, spending 4 years as Intel's CIO before moving on to lead their Data Center Group.
