Intel Unveils New AI Accelerator in Bid to Challenge Nvidia
- Gaudi 3 processor will speed training and running of AI models
- Nvidia has its own updated chip coming out this year
Intel Corp. is rolling out a new version of its artificial intelligence chip, aiming to challenge Nvidia Corp. in one of the fastest-growing parts of the semiconductor industry.
The updated processor, called Gaudi 3, will be widely available in the third quarter, Intel said at a company event Tuesday. The chip is designed to boost performance in two key areas: helping train AI systems — a process that involves bombarding them with data — and running the finished software.
