In this era of hyperscaler and cloud builder titans, their seven of whom account for about half of the IT infrastructure bought in the world, it is important to remember the importance of niches and the vital role that other makers of systems, other sellers of systems, and other renters of systems all play in the IT ecosystem. …
Machine learning inference models have been running on X86 server processors from the very beginning of the latest – and by far the most successful – AI revolution, and the techies that know both hardware and software down to the minutest detail at the hyperscalers, cloud builders, and semiconductor manufacturers have been able to tune the software, jack the hardware, and retune for more than a decade. …
