I agree 100% with Craig Barrett's assessment! The morons on the board do not have the engineering know how and work experience to make decisions about such a critical and complex business as the one Intel is in. Pat was on the right track but was not given the time it takes to turn this...

Unless something changed recently, I'm certain. It's a pretty commonly known example. Memory port embedded broadcast cannot be expressed with intrinsic. and as it said it is very useful. Is there a way to trick the compiler to do it anyway - well I've not found one. You would typically see...

Arguing pros/cons and opportunities with using AVX512 assembly vs. C/C++: 1. AVX512 is a very large and rich instruction set - it is it's own language. It allows for so much more that just compute and I've seen few compilers taking advantage of the full richness (although it's much better now...

I think Paul is right in his analysis of the discrepancy: "If this benchmark represents true performance, the likely disparity here is Intel's support for AMX (Advanced Matrix Extensions) math extensions. These math functions boost performance in AI workloads tremendously, and it isn't clear if...

So regardless of the legality (i.e. vulnerability for law suits in EU the US etc.) of what SO is doing, the conclusion is going to be that the best programmers and best architects will not share their insightful answers at SO any longer. point period. Come to think of it, they may not share...

Thank you for the write article! 1. correction: 2nd table first page Intel Xeon 8462Y+ (SPR) price should be the same as 8562Y+ (EMR) price = $5,945. Right now (11.22pst) you have Intel Xeon 8462Y+ (SPR) priced at $3,583 - which is wrong. 2. I would have liked to see the comparison between...

This is the enthusiast HEDT platform I am talking about not the server platform. I was making the case for my 10980XE not any server SKU. Intel is notoriously conservative, I can assure you that the HEDT SKUs like Core i9 SKU's e.g. 10980XE works superbly with AVX-512 OC on all cores at 4.5 GHz...

And I absolutely love by my core i9 10980 XE on the X299 platform!! After some careful OC*) ( which is just pure pleasure) the two AVX-512 units/core sings at 4.5 GHz fully saturating the memory hierarchy - and how well they sing! *)With all due respect, who the hell runs a 10890XE at stock...

AMX is, so far, only BF16 and INT8 data types matrix multiplications and nothing else (technically dot product). BUT it is foundational with more variations coming in the pipeline (reading intel's doc) FP16 etc They are also talking about complex valued data types in Granite Rapids etc. What...

Right they use both FPGA (well advertised) BUT they also use Intel Xeon's (not as well advertised) - AWS is huge and with tons of customers that runs many different AI implementations. Further, Intel take requirements from Amazon when designing their Xeons simply to keep Amazon as a big customer...

all the big once. Amazon for instance The thing is that using the GPU or a specific AI accelerator adds latency to the whole process (movement back and forth between CPU and GPU/AI accelerator) . The point is that most of the work before and after inference has to be done on the CPU anyway...

For those that are deep into Comp Sci and professional hard core devs, Intel just released an updated version of the Optimization and S/W dev manuals. You might find them an useful intro into how to release the power of accelerators. I particular i recommend chapter 19 (FP16 instructions)...

We have very different understanding of what HEDT is. 13900 has 8 performance core and and 16 so called efficiency cores (aka crap cores) 13900 has 20 PCIe That is not HEDT. Just the 20 PCIe alone disqualifies it as a HEDT. Great game machine, but a serious workstation class or enthusiast...

Forgot to say that intel mentioned, they are going to launch the workstation W790 series W2400 and W3400 chips on February 15th. hopefully they will be priced at a level that we can build reasonable HEDTs out of them. W3400 looks great on paper, but priced wrong, it will be out of reach and...

My take: Intel is betting on an investment in very specific accelerator silicon (as opposed to using that silicon budget to add more general cores etc) will be competitive against AMD EPYC many more core products. The bet is that the largest investments that their customers do will be in server...
