Intel lacks a so-called AI accelerator product, a piece of specialized hardware meant to speed up AI workloads.

“Particularly, as more servers are being shipped in the form of scaled-up rack-level solutions, the ability to integrate CPUs and AI accelerators is becoming more important,” and Intel doesn’t have that capability, he noted.

“Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners all building the capacity required to push the frontier of AI to provide benefits to all humanity.”

The particle accelerator towered over this Pittsburgh suburb built to house Westinghouse workers, and was a symbol of innovation for the company and region.

Now, they have money to hire engineers and recently won a spot at Y Combinator, the famed Silicon Valley accelerator.
