I don't know how it happened, but Intel completely dropped out of the AI accelerator market.
There are really only three competitors in this market with one also-ran company.
Obviously it's Nvidia, Google and tenstorrent.
The also ran company is AMD, whose products are only bought as a hedge against Nvidia. Even though the hardware is better on paper, the software is so bad that you get worse performance than Nvidia. Hence "also ran".
Tenstorrent isn't there yet, but it's just a matter of time. They are improving with every generation of hardware and their software stack is 100% open source.
