Intel CEO Takes Aim at Nvidia in Fight for AI Chip Dominance (yahoo.com) 17
Intel Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger took the stage at the Computex show in Taiwan to talk about new products he expects will help turn back the tide of share losses to peers, including AI leader Nvidia. From a report: Intel showed its new Xeon 6 data center processors with more efficient cores that will allow operators to cut down the space required for a given task to a third of prior-generation hardware. Like rivals, from Advanced Micro Devices to Qualcomm, Intel touted benchmarks that showed its new silicon is significantly better than its existing options. AMD and Qualcomm's CEOs, in earlier Computex keynotes, used Intel's laptop and desktop processors to show how far ahead they are in certain aspects of technology.
Gelsinger took a direct shot at Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's claim that traditional processors like Intel's are running out of steam in the age of artificial intelligence. "Unlike what Jensen would have you believe, Moore's Law is alive and well," he said, stressing that Intel will have a major role to play in the proliferation of AI as the leading provider of PC chips. "I think of it like the internet 25 years ago, it's that big," Gelsinger said. "We see this as the fuel that's driving the semiconductor industry to reach $1 trillion by the end of the decade."

Despite your claim, you're being vague instead of saying something.
You can't just wave your hands around here and have people take it for brilliance.

Not to "Twitter", but to X and xAI more specifically. I is an umbrella brand that Musk has used for a lot of things over the years (paypal etc).

Ok, so Grog will be trained faster? What ramifications would you like to discuss exactly?

Intel is leaden, can't get off the oil well in their basement, and even with federal dollars, lost their mojo.
NVIDIA couldn't buy ARM, but I'll bet with the current climate and a war chest, they could buy Intel, chip off the crust (pun intended) and capture any remaining flags.
Every Intel CPU chip is going to obsolete until they can fix their problem with fundamental designs that make their instruction sets vulnerable to rowhammering, think-ahead buffer/instruction snatching, secrets snatching, and other effects of seemingly fast designs that become slower and slower with each new firmware fix.

The Am586 came and went. It was a good chip, internally RISCy and with great performance for the price.

Am586 was nothing more than an overclocked 80486 with larger cache. Maybe you meant the K5.

The goal is to show that systems using your product are superior to your COMPETITORS' options. If you can't do that then you're an also-ran, which is what Intel is now. AMD has faster CPUs AND GPUs, and systems with Nvidia's GPUs are faster than either. Intel takes aim, and shoots their own foot.

Corporations don't have intelligence. They borrow it from humans, or not. Intel has been losing its market share, and the bulk of it is going to AMD and Nvidia.

The race for ever more processing power is going to soon be eclipsed by the race for less power consumption.
The most powerful computing system on this entire Planet is irrelevant if we can't produce the power to sustain it.
