Processors seek balance in rush to deep learning and fog computing

摘要

A revival in the AMD versus Intel rivalry has been good news for data center or workstation designers looking for low-cost, low-power, high-performance processors. However, that does not overshadow a massive shift in emphasis toward dedicated or heterogeneous artificial intelligence processing approaches and the traction of the open-source RISC-V architecture. The latter comes in the face of widespread skepticism.
