Hi Mike,
Do you have a dedicated channel where you blog/write? I want to read up fully your views.

Thanks,
KayT

These products are not designed to run HTML or Excel, or even run Crysis for that matter. These HPC devices are not solutions until they are solving real world problems, the most prominent of which is the ML domain which requires development and optimization per target application. All accelerators share this issue. Nvidia spoke recently of 2700 HPC apps accelerated by their platform — they seem to be the only one to have broken that code. Intel (and AMD for that matter) seem to have trouble expressing a similar vision here save some software stack slides and vague promises of open source solutions. The evolution from Ponte Vecchio to Rialto Vecchio seems in vain. One or two Supercomputer customers neither make a successful product nor a successful product line. Intel needs a ML platform and the Vecchios ain’t it.

Fact is hardware is now so far ahead of software application utilities FANG and BAT are the handful of enterprise compute operations that know how to utilize new hardware it’s virtually semicustom. So why would AMD and Intel want to incur the costs of mass production? As Mr. Morgan implied, they don’t. What they want is to produce cost effectively for demand. Cascade Lake is highly profitable, the mass of the enterprise market and business of compute are standardized on Scalable Skylake and Cascade Lake. Integration channels, current, lagging market on sub 24 core optimized applications standardized on v3, v4, Skylake and Cascade Lake with Epyc massive core innovation examples thrown in bu that’s not enterprise. On channel data 14, 18, 20 and 22/24 cores appears the market sweet spot. On existing application optimization and evolution? If Intel rolled out Sapphire Rapids today, Intel first tier on channel and majority entity use market on platform standard could not rationally, from a business perspective, address utility requirements on demand for mass market supply of Sapphire Rapids. How could they as most enterprise and the channel are unprepared applications wise to procure and resale first tier Sapphire Rapids overage looking for a mass market use case. In addition, it would be very difficult for Intel first tier IDM/OEM to lower their primary procurement cost on Sapphire Rapids surplus overage resale to enterprise customers, secondary and tertiary integration channels because hardware is so far ahead. Where certainly the top 15 WW hyperscale and cloud operations would not accept Intel first tier dealer group as their master distributor accustomed to working with Intel and AMD directly. Intel should just state these facts rather than mimicking repeaters spreading inaccurate disinformation. What application sites do with Sapphire Rapids and Genoa is proprietary for their competitive advantage. Yet Intel in particular is unable to state simple basic facts and takes a stock price hit as a result. Where design manufacturer/producer with the customer applications site cooperation to refine what is a new and useful whole platform is engineering on management best practice, Intel taking a stock price hit every time the organization fails to articulate these simple truths demonstrates a management incompetence. Learn how to position and promote your products in a real world. I give Intel management at the two most recent Bank of America and Goldman Sachs financial conferences failing grades for terrible articulation of market, industrial management and whole platform application facts.
