Intel will make chips for Microsoft

"I want to manufacture every AI chip in the industry," says Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.

To a chip designer, this is like a Reese’s peanutbutter cup of evil.

I'd try a Reese's Evil. I'll try anything with Reese's in the name.

I'm also an Intel fan. Not so much because I like the company. They have a big presence here where I live (Portland Oregon) and it's good to see people employed. So like them or not, I always have to root for them.

I like to think that "AI" is just a fad. I mean, computers are, by definition, artificial intelligence. About three decades ago, there was a thing called "fuzzy logic" which was sort of a crude ancestor of "AI". What, exactly, "Intel" is I am not sure, but I am old enough to remember Altairs and Imsais, which used the Intel 8080 (that was when 8K of RAM would cost you around $400, or about a month's rent on a decent 3-bedroom apartment in a good neighborhood). Curiously, it seems to me that the inferior 6502 typically outperformed the much better 8080.
