(Reuters) -Intel announced on Tuesday a new artificial intelligence chip for the data center that it plans to launch next year, in a renewed push to break into the AI chip market. The new chip (GPU) will be optimized for energy efficiency and support a wide range of uses such as running AI applications, or inference, Intel Chief Technology Officer Sachin Katti said at the Open Compute Summit on Tuesday. "It emphasizes that focus that I talked about earlier, inference, optimized for AI, optimized, optimized for delivering the best token economics out there, the best performance per dollar out there," Katti said.

    Unless they’ve come up with some truly novel new architecture that makes training and/or inference MUCH more efficient… why? The generational creep is obviously unsustainable, and using current-style GPUs for ML applications is a recipe for obsolescence for a hardware manufacturer these days.

    Why not, now that thy got 5bil from Nvidia. Lets start pissing money away, or get even more controlled by a competitor.
