[Hardware]Intel continues its war against NVIDIA: "Its success in AI is pure luck"

[Dean Ambrose™]

If just a week ago we told you that Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, had attacked NVIDIA saying that no one wants its CUDA technology, now he has returned to the charge and in this case to say that the success that the company is having Jensen Huang regarding Artificial Intelligence has been “pure luck.” Of course, things are getting quite heated between the two companies, especially because on this occasion NVIDIA has come to the fore and responded to Intel's statements.

Intel, leading many other technology companies, appears to have engaged in a "war of statements" against NVIDIA in recent weeks. Now they have stated that the success of Huang's team's AI is simply due to the fact that they have been lucky, but as we said before, NVIDIA has not been able to remain silent and has responded, quite elegantly, that "the success of company is due to a clear vision and execution that Intel lacks."

The thing about Intel and NVIDIA is already a soap opera
This whole mess started when Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger mocked NVIDIA's financial achievements in the data center segment (as you probably already know, NVIDIA's revenue this year has broken all its records), and He said that the CEO of NVIDIA had been very lucky with it. According to Intel, it was fate that NVIDIA and its AI products got to where they are now, and it had nothing to do with the contributions of its team to improve its position.

In summary, what the CEO of Intel has said is that NVIDIA's triumph in the field of Artificial Intelligence has had nothing to do with the company's efforts, but rather has been pure luck.

«Jensen worked very hard in computing, mainly for graphics at first, and then he got extraordinarily lucky. They didn't even want to support their first AI-oriented project. - Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel.

Obviously, this hasn't sat well with the team in green, and NVIDIA Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research Bryan Catanzaro and a former Intel employee have revealed that Intel's Larabee project lacked focus and execution on the part of the team. of the company, which is why Intel has failed in this area.

Bryan reveals that despite having 10x the revenue of NVIDIA, Intel didn't even know what they were getting into with Larabee, which ultimately set them back a decade behind NVIDIA's development. Logically, he has also stated that with the efforts of the green team in computing and GPGPU both at the hardware and software levels, NVIDIA has conquered the market practically without any competition.

For those who don't know what Project Larabee is about, it was a project that Intel started to develop a parallel multicore architecture, initially intended for the consumer segment but Intel changed its focus and repositioned it for high performance computing (HPC) and computing tasks. parallel processing. The Intel team already saw the rise of AI a decade ago and the Larabee project could have positioned them much better in the market, but it didn't because, according to NVIDIA, they didn't even know what they had on their hands.

What is undeniable is that NVIDIA has set the benchmark for AI computing in today's market and controls over 90% of the market share as proof of this. Intel and AMD are now putting a lot of effort into developing their products in this market but they can hardly compete with NVIDIA, who are years ahead of them. Both companies have announced new accelerators, but for now they do not overshadow the products of the green ones.

In our opinion, the statements by Intel's CEO are completely misguided. Day by day we see the current state of hardware and NVIDIA has been focusing its efforts on AI for a long time, so we consider that its position there is deserved and the result of work, effort and large investments, not by luck as Intel says.
