Intel Acquires Indian Startup to Strengthen Position in Discrete GPU Tech

[prtskg]

I may be misunderstanding you but Intel and AMD sell tens of millions of CPUs for desktops and laptops every year. I read in one report that PC sales actually increased last year for the first time in 6 years. For example where I work we have around ten thousand desktops and laptops combined. That's just a conservative guess. It's probably more. The desktops are i3 2120s. It's a cheap CPU but it's plenty for MS Office.

Tablets are fine for surfing, email, videos etc but not so great for large Excel spreadsheets for one thing so I don't see Intel or AMD having any trouble selling CPUs any time in the near future.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Drop the name calling please cause it is ruining the good conversation.

can you walk home or do you want me to summon my autonomous car to drop you off?

Not quite name calling >>>> but not in the spirit of the warning advice

Tesla dumped Nvidia. Driving isn't that hard, I install autonomous GPS guidance with inertial feedback sensors on machines for a living. Work with Department of Transportation and other offices to install CORS RTK stations for automation.

tesla made a huge leap of advancements using nvidia hardware, now they are copying them

There is no good explanation for this, to be honest. It's a bunch of engineers with ZERO GPU experience (except Mr Yarlagdda) being hired as a dGPU team. The only reason for this to work is if Intel receives a sudden influx of incentives from an Indian fund. Otherwise, what's the point?

What rubbish is this... seriously? How about digging something up about the people at Ineda, a company that has never produced a single product/technology:

Dear TPU, here's some extra info for FREE, TPU:

Balaji Kanigicherla is now Vice President, Intel Architecture, Graphics and Software / Chief SoC Architect, Graphics Throughput Computing and Hardware Engineering

Krishna Yarlagadda came from Imagination Technologies, and while I've seen no reference to taking on a greater role at Intel, it stands to reason he'll move to Intel if it was presented as a dGPU acquisition.

Gude Dasaradhan is probably not part of the deal. He'll collect his money and move on. He's got no need or ambition to "Go American" and he can take his Intel money and re-invest. That's his thing.

Its the same reason we have the "why hasn't (ARM, Infinate Detail GPU's, new tech startup Z) taken over the world" threads/comments every so often, some newb comes in and points out what a very specialized piece of hardware can do, not what it actually does, just the possibility. They then go on tirades sharing editorial pieces filled with PR jargon and spin not realizing most of the claims are about possibilities, which 99% end up on the TP once the movement is done and the reality that designing a complex piece of hardware capable of doing it all makes it X86-64 and.... we have those already. Then there is the possibility of conspiracy... like a flat earth, or how do magnets work... to these people is us sheep living in this not real world that forces things to be so wrong.

Transistor logic is complex, and requires more than a basic education to understand, dunning kruger effect becomes strong.

lol. who do you think you are?

A big nerd with a degree in computer science that has been modding and tweaking hardware for most of my life, that works with technology products and knows how its done.

I have been around, seen, smelled and stepped in it a few times myself. Intel failed with larrabee and will fail a few more times before they get it right, and by that time the companies that have been doing this stuff for years will have moved on to newer, later, and greater.

that's the spot I've been waiting for. you are not a developer of the "hardware" itself. please read more on "dunning krugger effect".

As I remember this render was fan made, not from Intel.

it shouldn't be hard to make one for real
just buy a gpu with blower style cooler and add some blue LEDs and slap on an intel inside sticker
