Intel Unveils Server, PC Chips in Bid to Join AI Gold Rush, But Faces Tough AMD, Nvidia Test

[ad_1]  Intel Corp., the biggest maker of personal computer processors, announced new chips for PCs and data centers that the company hopes will give it a bigger slice of the booming market for artificial intelligence hardware.The lineup includes updated Xeon server chips — the second overhaul of that processor in less than a year — that use less electricity while boosting performance and memory, the company said in a statement Thursday. Intel's Ultra Core chips for laptops and desktop computers, meanwhile, will let PCs process AI functions directly.  Intel's new product with the most to prove may be the Gaudi 3, the latest installment of a line that competes with Nvidia Corp.'s industry-leading H100. These chips — known as AI accelerators — help companies develop chatbots and other rap...

AI chip crunch: startups vie for Nvidia’s vital component

[ad_1] The artificial intelligence revolution is fully underway, but soaring demand for its most crucial component has startups scratching their heads on how they can deliver on AI's promise.Generative AI's lifeblood is a book-sized semiconductor known as the graphics processing unit (GPU) -- built by one company, Nvidia. Nvidia's CEO and founder Jensen Huang made a wild bet years ago that the world would soon clamor for a powerful chip usually used for making video games, but that could build AI as well. No company working with the generative AI models that fuel today's frenzy can get off the ground without Nvidia's singular product: the latest model is the H100 and its accompanying software.That painful reality is one that Amazon, Intel, AMD and others are scrambling to fix with their...

Intel’s Troubles Run So Deep Even Bulls Are Wary

[ad_1] With the most sell ratings in the Nasdaq 100 Stock Index, Intel Corp. is running ever lower on fans. Things have gotten so bad that even analysts brave enough to recommend buying are striking a cautious tone. One of those, Srini Pajjuri at Raymond James, reasons that the chip designer's “many problems” are unlikely to get much worse in the near term. “We believe that the 2023 bar is low enough and expect the company to benefit from cyclical tailwinds and aggressive cost cuts,” Pajjuri wrote in a note last week, resuming coverage with an outperform recommendation. Another advocate, Gus Richard at Northland Securities, is sticking to his outperform rating, even after saying that buying the stock in the wake of January's ugly earnings report would likely make investors “phys...
