Under the leadership of Pat Gelsinger, Intel tried to compete against Nvidia and AMD in the AI market with its Gaudi series of GPUs. However, with little in the way of sales, it looked like the chip giant would just give up. It turns out that this is not the case, because it's trying again, this time targeting the world of inference instead.
That's according to a report by the Financial Times, which spoke with Kevork Kechichian, Intel's general manager of its data centre group. At this year's Computex event, Crescent Island was given some more details on top of those given in last year's announcement, but the general gist of it all is that it has a very different approach to the whole machine learning shebang than Intel's previous attempt, Gaudi.
