AMD's Forrest Norrod: “x86 is the de facto standard. It's a strong ecosystem, but it's one that really Intel and AMD have co-developed in a way, but an arm's length, and you know, that has caused some inefficiencies and some drift in portions of the ISA over time.”

Intel and AMD forge an x86 ecosystem advisory group to ensure a unified x86 instruction set architecture moving forward, amid competition from Arm and RISC-V
including @Microsoft, @Dell, @Lenovo and @HP—are joining their new advisory group to “shape the future of x86 and foster developer innovation.” https://www.crn.com/... @CRN Mark Ru...

I'm not sure why Intel was so keen to talk FP8 FLOPS for Gaudi3 The more impressive spec IMHO is BF16/FP16 perf. #Intel blows #Nvidia and #AMD out of the water at half precision. You can find my full two-page write up @theregister here: ⬇️ https://www.theregister.com/ ... [image]

Intel debuts Gaudi 3, set for Q3 mass production, claiming up to 1.7x the training performance, 50% more inference, and 40% better efficiency than Nvidia's H100
@IanCutress @intel Official comment from Habana: “Our methodology was to use only IPs that were already proven in silicon before we tape out. At the time we taped out Gaudi3 there was simply no available physical layers that were validated to meet our standards,” COO Eitan Medina told The Register
