Deja Vu all over again.

2016 Nervana. Intel would lead in AI training. The "Nervana NNP" was the future.

2019 Habana Intel announced the Gaudi and Goya chips as their new official AI strategy, effectively killing the Nervana project.

2021 Xe general HPC/AI GPU (Ponte Vecchio) Intel said they will be shifting to the "AI chip" market.

2023 The "AI PC". every consumer CPU would now be an "AI Chip" with NPU (Neural Processing Unit).

2024 Intel is now "AI Systems Foundry" to focus on making AI chips for other people (like Microsoft and Amazon).

2026 Intel will start making GPUs

If you discount recent AI-specific developments, you can trace this back further to Larrabee, Intel MIC, Xeon Phi, etc., etc., etc.

Wasn't Itanium marketed as being good for some kind of AI?

Don't beat a dead horse, that's rude ;). They did kinda try to market it as good for everything though, didn't they.

"Intel keeps starting to make GPUs"
