well, you make a fair point. let me also raise the question - why were Intel, AMD and alike so slow with developing custom APUs for ML tasks. this sounds incredibly short-sighted. i mean - the ML area has been developing steadily for at least 20 years, with vast amounts of new stuff coming since 2013 perhaps. this makes 10 years, and I believe the dev cycle for new chips is potentially around a decade.
so question is: where are these guys' ML chips? sorry but AVX512 is not something that provides enough juice, and apparently some smart-head at Intel decided to lock end-users out of it?
because, honestly, it was not NVidia who kicked the GPUs forward, but these brave CUDA devs who actually created some valuable software to run on top of them - first for crypto mining, then for the LLMs and NNs in general.
honestly - i start to really despise this company, even though there's a 3090TI in my home box. and with the most recent talk given by CEO - fingers crossed someone comes and eats their lunch, they so much deserve it.
