The steady rise of AI over the past several years – and the accelerated growth with the introduction generative AI since OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 – has shifted Intel’s status as a challenger in a chip market that it long had dominated. …
With each successive Intel Xeon SP server processor launch, we can’t help but think the same thing: it would have been better for Intel and customers alike if this chip was out the door a year ago, or two years ago, as must have been planned. …
There is little question that generative AI as well as other kinds of machine learning are going to augment applications in every industry and in every part of the application stack in the coming years. …
Based on what Intel has been saying for the past several weeks in various events, but especially the Hot Chips 2023 a few weeks ago and the more recent Intel Innovation 2023 extravaganza, the company’s foundry process roadmap and its server processor roadmaps are going to align harmoniously to make the Xeon SP family of CPUs more competitive next year. …
Sometimes, especially with Intel in the past several years, the fact that the CPU roadmap doesn’t change is the news. …
Any performance comparisons across compute engines in use in a datacenter are always valid for a point in time since new CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other ASICs are always coming into the market at different times. …
It was a reasonable enough gut reaction given the many changes happening at Intel in recent months. …
If you are thinking that you are having flashbacks as Intel is launching the “Sapphire Rapids” server CPUs – the company’s fourth generation in the Xeon SP family of server processors – you are not alone. …
If there is one bright spot in the Xeon SP server chip line from Intel, it is the version of the “Sapphire Rapids” Xeon SP processor that has HBM memory welded to it. …
