Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has taken a shot at his main rival in high performance computing, dismissing Nvidia's success in providing GPUs for AI modelling as "extraordinarily lucky." Gelsinger also implied that it would have been Intel, not Nvidia, currently coining it in AI hardware had the company not killed one of his pet projects nearly 15 years ago.
During a broad ranging discussion at MIT, Gelsinger was asked what Intel is doing to drive the development of AI. His answer? Among other things, to point out how lucky he thinks Nvidia has been with its AI-accelerating GPUs.
