> “AMD continues to lead the AI hardware revolution by offering the broadest portfolio of processors with dedicated AI engines in the x86 market,” said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD.

I can't believe anyone actually said this with a straight face.

It's not an inaccurate statement... I think that Intel's AI engine (NPU) is only available in one very-recently-released mobile processor, correct? AMD has had their dedicated AI on-chip thing for a year or more on multiple lines of CPU's.

Sure, but it's pretty clear that Nvidia "leads the AI hardware revolution", if such a thing exists.

That's why they diplomatically added "in the x86 market" :)

In what sense though? AMD hardware is very comparable. Unless you call Nvidia's lock-in through CUDA "leading".

There are only two (and a half) companies in the x86 market. They shipped their Phoenix processors with an inference accelerator a year ago. And Intel only now is shipping their equivalent.
