Intel AI
Intel's AI division developing Gaudi accelerator chips and AI software tools, competing for market share in the AI infrastructure space against NVIDIA and AMD.
Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerator targets the data center training and inference market, offering competitive performance at lower price points than NVIDIA's H100. Intel acquired Habana Labs for $2 billion in 2019 to build its AI chip portfolio. The company's AI revenue remains a small fraction of NVIDIA's but is growing. Intel's foundry services aim to manufacture AI chips for other companies, competing with TSMC. The company also develops OpenVINO, an open-source toolkit for optimizing and deploying AI models on Intel hardware.
