Intel CEO Challenges NVIDIA's CUDA Dominance in AI Market

Pat Gelsinger suggests industry shift towards inference technology, teases Intel's next-gen Gaudi 3 accelerator for 2024 launch.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has criticized NVIDIA's CUDA technology, suggesting that the entire industry is motivated to end its dominance in the AI market.
Gelsinger believes that the future of AI lies in 'inference' rather than in training models, as this is where Intel lags behind its competitors.
Intel is prioritizing inference developments over model training as it is more resource-efficient and can adapt to rapidly changing data without the need to retrain a model.
Gelsinger also stated that while AMD and NVIDIA are their competitors, Intel would also love to have chips from both companies produced at its fabs.
Intel's Gaudi accelerators have been a popular alternative to NVIDIA's AI solutions, and the company teased its next-gen Gaudi 3 accelerator at the event which is aiming for a 2024 launch.
