Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of embattled tech company Intel, praised the xAI team after visiting Elon Musk’s Memphis Supercluster. He posted on X (formerly Twitter) that xAI uses Intel Xeon processors for its AI head node — the dedicated server that manages the entire 100,000-GPU-strong cluster — and that it’s “incredible what’s been built in such a short amount of time!”
After losing over $1.6 billion in its data center and foundry businesses, Intel is struggling. It has also missed the AI bandwagon, especially as its Gaudi 3 AI accelerator still suffers from issues.
