    Phoronix: Intel Decides Against Bringing Falcon Shores To Market, Instead An Internal Test Chip

    Intel Co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus announced during their Q4 earnings call this evening that they will not be bringing their "Falcon Shores" AI / HPC chip to market. Falcon Shores was to be their next-gen GPU accelerator to effectively succeed their Gaudi AI chips. Instead Falcon Shores will be used as an internal test vehicle while preparing the hardware/software ecosystem for Jaguar Shores as its successor...

    This all tracks with rumors last year that Gaudi is on its way out as a stand alone product and its IP will be rolled into Falcon Shores derivatives. But just seeing that Falcom Shores is now dead....I mean....Intel just goes from shit show to shit show. What a scandal.

      I think the bomb the Chinese dropped called DeepSeek may have had something to do with this decision.

        I would agree only so far that it didn't help. But Falcon Shores being unceremoniously dropped is yet another sign that Intel had existential problems with both leadership and execution long before Pat Gelsinger came back to save the company for which he designed the P4. This is a sign that they have a profound engineering problem and a foundry problem.

                Have I missed something? (probably) ... Doesn't the DeepSeek models run on exactly the same hardware as other models? If DeepSeek have come up with amazing efficiency gains, shouldn't those be realised on other hardware too?

                  Yes, but it runs faster on a 7900xtx than on a 4090. Makes sense since the 4090 is baned for china, they optimized it for amd.

                    With China AI market also opened, Intel will be missing the big opportunity with falling behind, the second time after mobile device market. I am not sure they can be recovered anymore.
