Computing Architectures For Ai Workloads Face A Dilemma

A fork in the road is emerging in computing architectures that could upend the pecking order of today’s leading chipmakers. For nearly half a century, the dominant architecture for the CPU was the x86, created by Intel. Most of the world’s computers, servers and data centers use the x86 architecture. Since it has been around since 1978, introduced as part of the Intel 8086 processor, this architecture ensures that older software written for earlier x86 processors can run on newer x86 CPUs. Intel and AMD are the two largest users of x86. But a rising star is British chip designer Arm, which uses a different CPU architecture not compatible with x86
