LOL, shoehorning a handful of AI instructions into AVX when the general computing model is just woefully inadequate for the target workload. Great job Intel.

Intel's due diligence process for acquisitions is a joke. Intel Capital should be dissolved and shut down.

Apple is 5X larger market cap than Intel and look how they do acquisitions - extremely selective, small and targeted acquisitions, mostly under $100M.

Nervana was $500M. Complete waste. Naveen Rao and few others became VPs and sitting pretty. They are considered AI experts. Give me a break.

Nope, Intel paid big money for a half baked design. Standard intel acquisition.
