AI is still in its early days, Krzanich writes, and the underlying hardware that?s used to execute deep learning tasks is bound to change. ?Some scientists have used GPGPUs [general purpose graphical processing units] because they happen to have parallel processing units for graphics, which are opportunistically applied to deep learning,? he writes. ?However, GPGPU architecture is not uniquely advantageous for AI, and as AI continues to evolve, both deep learning and machine learning will need highly scalable architectures.? via HPC Wire

?We expect the Intel Nervana platform to produce breakthrough performance and dramatic reductions in the time to train complex neural networks,? said Diane Bryant, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Group at Intel. ?Before the end of the decade, Intel will deliver a 100-fold increase in performance that will turbocharge the pace of innovation in the emerging deep learning space.? via Intel

Intel is moving in the right direction but I bet these chips will be very expensive.

yeah 32GB of HBM2, there is nothing to say more to tell how costly it is ...

ouch insane and beautifull
