Hopefully AMD will be able to offer an AI Engine that's even better than what's available in IBM's Telum processor: https://research.ibm.com/blog/research-powering-ibmz16

This sounds similar to what Apple is doing with the Apple M1. The M1 has a lot of image accelerators

However, if they can do things with the chiplets concept, almost making chiplets like expansion cards that can be plugged into the CPU, that becomes powerful. AMD is somewhat ahead of a lot of others when it comes to chiplets

AMD being second to Intel is a good thing. It has to make hardware that can be widely adopted. Read - not locked like Optane. We need good, but not monopoly strong, Intel so AMD can make good things for us customers 😊

Oh please go ahead and explain to the class how we will be able to take out this AI module to use it on a M1 adroid or intel...

Optane needs the CPU to talk to the disk like it's ram, you can't fake that, you need the CPU to actually do this and no other CPU company is going to invest money into making their CPUs do that for something that they can't control and don't know if it's ever going to take off.

That's optane dimms.
Optane as an ssd works the same as an ssd, only with lower latency and no slowdowns ever. AMD chips just get a little less performance out of it, with the likely exception of the x3d.
