AI-Intel, Nvidia, and Google mimic each other

Learning one size does not fit all In May 2017, Nvidia introduced its mega-chip Volta GPU on its Tesla V100 AIB. Volta, as you may know, has a dedicated neural processor in it which Nvidia calls Tensor Cores, 640 of them in fact.  In 2016, Intel purchased, for $400 million, Nervana Systems who was developing both a GPU/software approach in addition to their Nervana Engine ASIC. Intel is now offering five AI processor to compete with Nvidia’s Tesla AIBs: the Nervana Neural Network Processor the Myriad X Altera FPGA (field programmable gate array) the x86 Core processor the x86 multi-chip
