Intel CEO Attributes Nvidia's AI Dominance to Luck, Nvidia VP Counters

Pat Gelsinger outlines Intel's strategy to regain ground in the AI industry, as demand for AI hardware grows rapidly.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has publicly stated that Nvidia's dominance in the AI industry is due to luck, attributing the success to the 15 years of Intel's inactivity in the discrete GPU space.
Gelsinger also lamented Intel's decision to abandon the Larrabee project, which he believes could have positioned Intel as a strong competitor in the AI space.
Nvidia's Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research, Bryan Catanzaro, countered Gelsinger's claims, stating that Nvidia's success is a result of vision and execution, which he believes Intel lacked.
Gelsinger has outlined a strategy for Intel to regain ground in the AI industry, which includes the development of a neural processing unit (NPU) for every machine and the creation of open-source software libraries to eliminate the need for proprietary technologies like CUDA.
Demand for AI hardware is growing rapidly, and Intel's investments into new chip factories could pay off in the coming years.
