The AI War of The Words: Intel CEO Says NVIDIA's Success Came From "Pure Luck", NVIDIA Says It Came From Vision & Execution Which Intel Lacked
Intel & many other tech companies have amassed against NVIDIA in a "War of Words" claiming that the green team's AI success came from "Luck".

Jensen worked super hard at owning throughput computing, primarily for graphics initially, and then got extraordinarily lucky. They didn't even want to support their first AI project. Pat Gelsinger (Intel CEO) via Manufacturing@MIT
The interesting part here is that apparently, Intel's CEO believes that if the company had continued its Larabee project, which was ongoing until Gelsinger left the company, and then later returned 11 years ago.
For those unaware of Intel Larabee, it was a project initiated by Intel to develop a highly parallel, many-core architecture. It was initially intended for the consumer segment, however, Intel shifted its focus and repositioned Larabee for high-performance computing (HPC) and parallel processing tasks. Team Blue didn't see the AI hype a decade ago, but the Larabee project could've positioned them better in the markets.
However, the twist of the plot here is that NVIDIA's Vice President of Applied Deep Learning Research, Bryan Catanzaro, and a former Intel employee have revealed that Intel's Larabee project and the whole idea of AI-accelerated computing lacked focus and execution from the firm, which is why it isn't in the position the company could've been. Bryan reveals that despite having 10x larger revenues than NVIDIA, Intel at that time was unsure of what they were doing with Larabee, which ultimately had put them behind Team Green fast-forwarding a decade. With ongoing GPGPU and compute efforts, both hardware and software, NVIDIA conquered the market with no competition in sight.
Seems like someone is very envious of Nvidia's success in the AI market. And that NVidia today is valued a lot higher than Intel.
