Gaudi 3 was designed with a focus on AI, featuring fewer but highly efficient matrix-math engines, providing better performance for AI workloads. This approach allowed Intel to avoid the overhead of incorporating graphics functions into the processor, as seen in AMD’s and Nvidia’s designs.What do we think? The AI market
