Intel CEO says it's "too late" for them to catch competition (tomshardware.com)

M1 was the canary in the coal mine. Apple went from making cell phone CPUs to an Intel destroying generation of CPUs in 6 years.

Personally I use a MBP for dev, at work I am required to use a Intel PC. I loathe my work laptop for being slower and having sleep issues.

My 265H Intel laptop sounds like a jet engine at all times, runs slower than my M4 Max, and only cost $500 less than the MBP.

I don't see why Intel couldn't make high end PCI cards that do super fast matrix multiplications and activation functions. Glue that together with a C-API and Python bindings.

For all the interesting concepts in CUDA, it seems like gamers want pixels and polygons, and neural networks want gemm/relu. It doesn't seem like Nvidia really has a moat that others (Tenstorrent?) can't cross.
