They were leader for over 10-15 years. They wiped the floor with Nehalem left and right.
The tooling of intel is still better than AMD.
The celerons and other types of CPUs are in plenty of notebooks people have who buy laptops below 1k.
The SSD topic happened, and went away i guess it was a margen topic. Low margin, ultra mass product lots of other companies happily building them.
I think its critical for intel to have knowledge about GPUs for a stable longterm strategy. It was critical 10 years ago when they tried and failed hard with larrabee but they need to do that or buy AMD/Nvidia. With AI and modern workload you can't just have CPUs anymore and with CUDA and ML that was clear a long time ago.
The market itself is also totally bonkers. When AMD surpassed intel, intel still sold like cake and still does. The fab capacity in the world is limited. If you can't get an Nvidia GPU for 200-300 because they complelty ignore this price range, than you have only AMD and intel left.
Intel took the market of low end gpus already through their iGPUs.
Intel knows how to build GPUs and other things than CPUs. It would be a total waste for them to stop.
Intel should have bought nvidia or done something else but the Intel CEO is an idiot. He stated publicly that Nvidias position is just luck. That is such a weird idiotic take its bonkers that someone who would say something like this is the CEO of intel.
The amount of R&D Nvidia did and still does left and right is crazy. He totally ignores how much Nvidia was doing the right things at the right time.
Not sure were intel is heading but with their fab knowledge and capacity, their cashflow and core tech, they should be able to swing back. I was hoping that would happen already, unclear to me why they struggle so so hard
If i invested into bitcoin 10 years ago, my $1000 are now worth (i don't want to calculate it) like $1000000.
So if someone else now wants to invest into bitcoin today, they have to accept that the old people have a tremendes financial advantage to this. The spread is a lot.
And no its not the same as investing into a company.
This will lead to rich people not investing into bitcoins because their return value is getting smaller and smaller.
Because the new bitcoin numbers are getting less and less through halfing, this effect gets stronger and stronger.
Bitcoin is hard limited on how much bitcoin exists while the normal fiat world creates new money based on humans and work capacity we have through a complex system. Bitcoin has not solved this problem. You can't lent bitcoins, create value and return this amount as an addition to the whole amount of bitcoins to represent this value.
I don't think a co-founder would just jump ship just because. That would be very un-co-founderish.
I would also assume that he earns enough money to be rich. You are not a co-founder of OpenAI if you are not playing with the big boys.
So he definitly wants to be in this AI future but not with OpenAI. So i would argue it has to do with something which is important to him so important that the others disagree with him.
If i can sort the lines of the matrix, which is probably defined by how the token embedding is setup, i could potentially zero out weights which do not contribute at all and have areas of zeros i could mark and skip?
Otherwise: Find a really good HandsOn CTO, give them enough budget to build up a team and have freelancers, build it out.
But before that, have good people analyse the business requirements first.
