Another major Intel "experiment", following the failure in the mobile market, bites the dust. Next-up, Intel's $16 billion FPGA bet? Machine learning chips seem to become more specialized, not less.
To design, prototype & manufacture a Machine Learning ASIC with decent performance costs $10m+ to develop which is why FPGAs still have a large share of the low volume and/or high end market.
But they can sell 1 FPGA used to prototype the machine-learning ASIC.
