If, barely a week ago, we told you that Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intelhad attacked Nvidia Saying that no one wants his CUDA technology, he has now returned to the fray and in this case to say that the success that Jensen Huang’s company is enjoying in terms of artificial intelligence has been “pure luck”. Of course, things are getting heated between the two companies, especially since on this occasion NVIDIA has established itself and responded to Intel’s statements.
Intel, along with many other technology companies, appears to have engaged in a “statement war” against NVIDIA in recent weeks. Now they have stated that the success of Huang’s team’s AI is simply because they got lucky, but as we said before, NVIDIA couldn’t stay silent and replied, with great elegance, that “The comp any’s success is due to a clear vision and execution that Intel lacks
The story of Intel and NVIDIA is already a soap opera
This whole mess started when Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger mocked NVIDIA’s financial achievements in the data center segment (as you probably already know, NVIDIA’s revenue this year broke all its records ), and said that the NVIDIA CEO had been very lucky with this. . According to Intel, it was fate that got NVIDIA and its AI products to where they are today, and it had nothing to do with its team’s contributions to improving its position .
In summary, what Intel’s CEO said is that NVIDIA’s triumph in artificial intelligence has nothing to do with the company’s efforts, but rather pure luck.
“Jensen worked very hard in IT, mainly graphics at first, and then had extraordinary luck. “They didn’t even want to support their first AI-oriented project.”.- Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel.
Obviously, this didn’t sit well with the Green Team, and NVIDIA Vice President for Applied Deep Learning Research Bryan Catanzaro and a former Intel employee revealed that Intel’s Larabee project lacked focus and execution from the team. the company, which is why Intel failed in this area.
Bryan reveals that despite revenues 10 times that of NVIDIA, Intel didn’t even know what they were getting into with Larabee, which ultimately set them back a decade from NVIDIA’s development. Logically, he also said that with the green team’s efforts in computing and GPGPU, both in hardware and software, NVIDIA has captured the market with virtually no competition.
I worked at Intel on Larrabee applications in 2007. Then I went to NVIDIA to work on ML in 2008. So I was there in both places at that time and I can say:
NVIDIA’s dominance is no accident. It came from vision and execution. What Intel lacked. https://t.co/ygUJZIQWLH

For those who don’t know what it is Larabee Project, was a project in which Intel started developing a parallel multi-core architecture, initially aimed at the consumer segment, but Intel changed focus and repositioned it for high-performance computing (HPC) and parallel processing tasks. The Intel team had already seen the rise of AI ten years ago and the Larabee project could have positioned them much better in the market, but this is not the case because, according to NVIDIA, they did not even know not what they had in their hands.
What is undeniable is that NVIDIA has set the benchmark for AI computing in today’s market and controls over 90% of the market share as proof. Intel and AMD are now putting a lot of effort into developing their products in this market, but they can hardly compete with NVIDIA, which is years ahead of them. Both companies have announced new accelerators, but so far they don’t overshadow the green companies’ products.
In our opinion, the Intel CEO’s statements are completely wrong. Day by day we see the current state of hardware and NVIDIA has been focusing its efforts on AI for a long time, so we consider its position there to be deserved and the result of work, effort and investment important, not by chance as Intel says. .
