ChatGPT mut be eating all their AI portion of their chipsets. Lol

That or I’ve heard AI camel racing is very popular in parts of the world!

If you haven’t seen this it’s hilarious yet cruel. They put whipping robot jockeys on the back of camels and use AI to determine the optimal times and intervals to whip the camels during the race lol.

Artificial intelligence jokes, aside, current technology, regarding AI can be leveraged quite successfully. Take the following, for example

The company had written in a press release that XDNA would be "the first dedicated artificial intelligence hardware in an x86 processor."

Somewhat misleading, since Intel has included GNA for a couple generations, already. I assume they're using a technicality that GNA (Gaussian Neural Accerelator) is programmable and thus not strictly "hardware".

I know you're joking, but in case anyone doesn't know: inferencing large language models like ChatGPT require big, multi-GPU server machines (e.g. Nvidia DGX). I know @AndrewFreedman explicitly mentions ChatGPT and DALL-E, but I believe he's taking a wild leap, as these models won't even fit in the amount of RAM supported by modern laptop CPUs.

The XDNA hardware in these laptop processors is aimed at lighter-weight tasks like speech recognition, background removal, and noise reduction (e.g. for video conferencing). Hence, their emphasis on the realtime aspect. While you could do those things with a GPU or even a fast CPU, their hardware block will do them much more efficiently. Efficiency is obviously important in a laptop, so that battery life isn't substantially affected. According to their literature, the accelerator supports up to 4 of these realtime tasks.
