Not that it matters, but Microsoft has been doing AI accelerators for a bit too - project Brainwave has been around since 2018 - https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/build-2018-project-brainwave/

Yeah I worked in the hardware org around this time. We got moved from under Xbox org to azure and our main work became AI related accelerators

Very cool! Catapult/Brainwave is what got me into hardware & ML stuff :)

Since I prefer games to AI, this makes me rather sad.

You know, I prefer games too but I’ve suspected that the AI boom improved hardware for games and AI rather than just AI in isolation.
