If you want to do a spot of homebrewed AI on your PC, be it just some generative image making for fun or more serious data research, then you've only got two options to do this: use a neural processor built into a CPU or use a graphics card. However, if AMD's early investigations bear silicon fruit, then there will be a new choice to consider, a discrete AI accelerator card.
AMD's head of client CPUs, Rahul Tikoo, spoke to CRN at a press briefing, where he confirmed that the company was in the early stages of exploring the possibility of a discrete AI accelerator card for desktop PCs. That mostly involves talking to its customers to see how much potential interest there is and what the expected use cases would be.
