I still remember Pat Gelsinger telling us over and over that Larrabee would compete with the high end of the GeForce/Radeon offering back in the days, including when it was painfully obvious to everyone that it definitely would not.
As TFA rightly points out, unless something drastically changes in the next ~6mo, Intel is going to launch into the most favorable market situation we've seen in our lifetimes. Previously, the expectation is that they needed to introduce something that was competitive with the top end cards from nVidia and AMD. With basically all GPU's out of stock currently they really just need to introduce something competitive wi…
Intel has the manufacturing capability to really beat up Nvidia. Even if the cards don’t perform like top-tier cards they could still win bigly here. Very exciting!

But what kind of hash rates will they get?! /s

I could see gov/Military investing/awarding more contracts based on these 'locally' situated plants

GPU Accelerated HN would be very interesting :)
I really hope this breaks Nvidia's stranglehold on deep learning. Some competition would hopefully bring down prices at the compute high-end. AMD don't seem to even be trying on the software-side at the moment. ROCm is a mess.
I think this situation can only be fixed by moving up into languages that compile to vendor specific GPU languages. Just treat CUDA, openCL, vulkan compute, metal compute(??) etc. as the assembly of graphics cards.

I wholeheartedly agree. PyTorch did recently release AMD support which I was happy to see (though I have not tested it), I’m hoping there is more to come. https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-for-amd-rocm-platform-now-a...
If Intel provides as much Linux driver support as they do for their current integrated graphics lineup, we might have a new favourite among Linux users.
