The reality is, most Boeing aircraft you fly on are at least a decade old, built before Boeing truly fell to the low it is in today. The 737 is the most popular narrowbody aircraft on the market and has been for decades, issues like landing gear collapsing or fires are NOT boeings fault they are the airline's.

The biggest mistake of Intel, by far, was it's failure to recognize the potential in smartphone SOC in the mid 2000. Apple was turned down by Intel, wich led the start of the development of their own SOC, wich became the foundation of the M cpu of today. This decision alone open the door for the ARM SOC era of today instead of X86 SOC in smartphone, to wich i'm pretty happy.

[@arenzricodexd4409]

I don't think intel fail to recognize the potential but around that time intel also have issues with their primary bussiness. Netburst happen. So putting a resource towards what apple want back then can be big gamble and risk for them. Just look what happen with AMD around that time. They were very successful with their CPU and then they spend a fortune to acquite ATI for themselves. That move end up putting AMD in a world of hurt financinally a decade to come. Plus the mobile soc world also have it's own juggernaut.

[@dgillies5420]

I'm ex-Qualcomm with 12Y experience - Intel tried - TWICE - to purchase smartphone chip makers & startups. They ended up shutting BOTH purchases down! It takes lots of wireless system design skill to build smartphones and Intel has NONE. The real issue is the cost of new foundries was going up faster than any of their markets! They were trying to expand into new business areas so they could afford their next foundry. The many attempts at expansion from 2000 to 2020 they all failed. Intel was too selfish and too stubborn to accept outside chip designs for fabrication as a foundry. They felt it was beneath them. This arrogance was their doom ...

I guess that's what 7 years of Sky Lake did to Intel. Just imagine - they were making CPUs with the same archtecture for 7 years straight and only increased frequency of their chips. Moreover, they could not move from 14 nm to 10 nm in 6 years until they made very questionable Ice Lake low power mobile chips. Bob Swan was a wrong CEO to choose, for sure.

But my original choice was AMD. AMD sometimes it's obnoxiously expensive in some skus, that I don't find them worth it nor competitive vs Intel. And I am not talking about high end either. I5s are much better the price on Intel. 3D chips they launch them later to milk more the consumer. And AMD failed after Zen 3 to be more price sensitive. Except in server tho. Anyhow. when AMD raise the count of cores, to 24 I would buy them.

[@satyampatel491]

Intel fell behind because of one primary reason: They bet against ASML's EUV technology when it was first introduced. Intel believed that EUV systems are extremely complicated and expensive (which they are right about), but they also thought the yield on EUV systems would be too low for it to be worth investing in (They are wrong about this one however). Intel instead spent massive dollars on different patterning techniques such as multiple lithography to squeeze out smaller feature sizes in nanoelectronics with legacy DUV lithography systems. Eventual TSMC, and Samsung caught up as they were the first adopters of EUV technology. Intel actually has spent much more money in R&D than any semiconductor industry company including Nvidia, TSMC, AMD, Samsung, etc. Intel actually spends more than Nvidia, AMD, and TSMC combined, but they are constantly researching crazy technologies that do not pan out well like Intel Optane. They also were stubborn and continued to manufacture older 14 nm process ICs using their own foundries instead of using TSMC. Intel Chip designs are arguable much more innovative than AMD's, but they are stuck on an older process node. Only recently has Intel begun to use TSMC under Pat Gelsinger. Intel is on a come back. They will be the first to utilize ASML's new High NA EUV machines in their upcoming 20A, and 18A process nodes in late 2024. In addition, they will be introducing back power routing in those same nodes - something TSMC does not plan to introduce until 2026. These two technologies are gambles much like TSMC, and Samsung gambled in adopting EUV, but it could pan out well for Intel.

[@SRS13Rastus]

Intels biggest problem wasn't the CEO it was Murthy Renduchintala who Krzanich poached from Qualcomm in 2015 with the express purpose of upgrading Intels design efforts and foundries. Pre 2011 Intel typically had 2 chips on each node before switching to the next, these changes happened every 2 years roughly. e.g. 32nm in 2009 for Westmere & Sandybridge, whilst AMD was still using 45nm. 22nm in 2011 for Ivybridge and Haswell, whilst AMD was now on 32nm. This was when the complacency started 3 years on a single node. AMD was on it's knees with sheare prices hovering between $2-5 per share and hitting an all time low of $1.81 by 2014. Intel was on 14nm in 2014 whilst AMD was now using 28nm, this was the start of the rot in their foundries, instead of just 2 CPU's per node we got this lot. Broadwell, Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Cascade Lake, Comet Lake, 6 CPU models on a single node in 5 years, 2 years into this timeline they dropped their "Tick Tock" path of advancement, new architecture 1st year with a refinement the next (hence the 2 CPU lines per process node. we all remember the 14nm++++++++++ memes don't we? With 5-10% generational performance increases along with prices going through the roof. This really only happened as Intel took 5 years to get their 10nm node to produce high enough yields to be profitable, this is where Murthy comes into play.. He constantly was telling Krzanich "10nm is coming along just fine" whilst hiding the outrageously poor yields and even worse performance of the entire node. Then we get to 2016.. Intel launches the 6900K 8 core 16 thread CPU STILL on 14nm launched for $1089US, followed less than a year later by Zen 1, Both on 14nm but intel were on their own foundries whilst AMD were using Global Foundries or TSMC Intel had squandered their process node lead thanks to the 10nm delays and so, Zen arrived @$499 and beat Intel in non gaming benchmarks at less than half the price, yeah Intel still lead by a large margin in gaming in AOTS but a mere 3-20% in fps terms? For double the cost but no where near double the gaming performance? Intel compounded the issue by then launching the 10 core 20 thread 7900X still at a whopping $999US and AMD released the 2700X @ just $329US. Intel were relying on customer awareness to inflate costs (Not to mention dirty tactics in their past like forcing OEM's to not advertise AMD CPU's or risk losing access to Intel CPU's despite those AMD CPU's actually performing better).. As AMD closed the gap Intel stood still until Murthy was ousted in favour of Bob Swan, Intel wasn't helped by Murthy encouraging inter departmental infighting, Bob Swan ended this by basically telling dept head to stop pissing in other departments ponds or face the axe. Swan wasn't an engineer but he DID solve the internal strife at Intel before Gelsinger took over in 2021. Intel is STILL paying the price of Murthy's game playing, this is made worse by the current Intel fiasco over what is Intel "in spec" which is now seeing Intel HAVE to push out much lower wattage BIOS versions due to poor stability because they're THAT desperate for the win they'll do practically anything until they get found out... AMD have constantly innovated since Jim Keller rejoined them in 2012 to design Zen the infamously "glued together chips" which Intel derided so vociferously then desperately followed suit??? AMD also adopted Intel's previous tick tock regimen with 2 entire teams leapfrogging for each new major architecture, a policy reintroduced at Intel in 2021-22 after being abandoned in 2016 right in the midst of the 10nm debacle. Intel only has themselves to blame for their complacency arrogance and short-sightedness right when AMD were upping their game. Put it this way... In 2015 AMD's shares were at an all time low of just $1.82 whilst Intel were at $34.94, how are things now? Intel @ $30.51 down from a high of $68.26 over the last 3 years, whilst AMD? $150.56 and an absolute high of $227.3 in March this year. I gets worse when yo look at it this way... Intel's lead has fallen from 15 times the price per share in Q3 2015 and swung completely in the opposite to now being worth just 20% of AMD's current share prices.... This'll only become worse due to these new to the public stability issues which remained hidden for several years, iirc 11th 12th 13th and 14th gen are ALL affected and I wouldn't be too surprised to hear 10th gen are in there as well so that's 4-5 years of CPU's with instabilities cause by Intel chasing the gaming crown by pushing excessive watts and amps through their CPU's.

[@solo10041]

Holding on to foundries was a mistake. Intel was reluctant to spend billions to upgrade foundries every few years, it was not a one person decision. It was a decision made to save money by the leadership. Upgrading to smaller nodes keeps getting expensive and for producing chips economically they have to produce larger volumes. Intel had to produce 14nm chips more for them to get a decent ROI. AMD can choose the process based on the price they wanted to sell and not consider about the capital investment.

[@SRS13Rastus]

@@solo10041 Sorry but Intel only ever debated dumping the foundry business AFTER Murthy was fired, beforehand there was no point as they HAD the process advantage until Murthy screwed it all up and created an atmosphere of infighting at Intel. Bob Swan was brought in to lay down the law. Raja Koduri was brought in for the GPU division and saw the furore and thought he stood a chance of getting Murthy's job but left after Gelsinger got the job and actually started returning Intel to the top. With the news of Intel pushing their CPU's to unstable levels and claiming that's "in spec" becoming public in April Intels share prices have now tanked. The exact same thing happened back in the 2000's when Intel was caught out forcing OEM's to not use AMD chips despite them being faster. Intels share prices fell from an all time high of ~$70 to just $21 just after AMD filed the suit, now we have a similar situation where the instability news broke about a aonth ago and intels shares fell off a cliff losing 25% in the last 6 weeks.. The foundry losses of late are due to Murthy and his actions which allowed TSMC to catch and surpass intel's process advantage in 2015 which then forced intel to look to TSMC in order to match or beat AMD..

[@solo10041]

@@SRS13Rastus As per insider information Murthy had to step down due to delays in production of Intel's 7nm chips. There was a rumor that Intel was going to skip 10nm and directly for 7nm at which point maybe Murthy had to clarify as Intel's Chief Engineering Officer that 10 nm was coming along really well. But some fanboys think Intel should have gone straight to 7nm by ditching 10nm. If Intel had gone that route Incel fanboys could enjoy their 14nm chips and memes for much longer. Instead Murthy delivered 10nm process which has similar transistor density as compared TSMC 7nm process. But for Incel fanboys he is the Villain.

[@SRS13Rastus]

@@solo10041utter rubbish, Murthy was brought in in 2015 as even the 14nm Intel process was producing poor yields, 10nm didn't appear until 2019, Murthy was let go the following year. 7nm was just the nail in the coffin. 14nm yields were initially poor, Murthy was brought in to troubleshoot it and get intel back on track and begin the transition to 10nm and then to 7nm. Krzanich refused to believe AMD would be able to catch up as both Global Foundries and TSMC were at least an entire process node behind, especially considering Intel went from 32-22nm in 2011, whilst AMD with GF could only manage the switch from 32nm to 28nm as late as 2015. By 2014 Intel were already on 14nm and stayed there because Murthy fucked it up and lied about it which was why we got press releases for 3 or 4 years saying "10nm is coming along just fine and should arrive in the next year" when it clearly wasn't. When it DID arrive in 2018 the performance was so bad Intel HAD to release it in laptop only 1st, 10nm didn't come to desktop until 2021. 3 YEARS later... AMD had released Zen 1 on 14nm in 2017, Zen+ on 12nm in 2018 and Zen 2 in 2019 on 7nm. Intel had no choice but to switch to TSMC and abandon both 10nm and 7nm, Murthy was booted in 2020 as a result of turning Intels' foundries into a joke.

[@dgillies5420]

People think it was Intel getting stuck on 14nm. That misses the big picture that from 2000 to 2020 the cost of a new foundry was going up faster than any business that intel was in.

Intel has spent more than 20 years marketing clock speed as their primary indicator of performance. That’s what lead to “Netburst” in the P4, and it’s what has driven power usage to insane levels. The only real step away from that was the Tualatin/Core/Core2 designs initiating out of their Israel design center. That of course has formed the basis of all subsequent Intel chips, but since then (~2006) it’s mostly focused on clock speed, larger cache, and in the high end chips, more cores, all of which have increased power/heat. Performance of Intel x86 (per core) has roughly doubled in the last decade, but with it, power usage has increased significantly, only being brought back to similar levels by their 10nm (Intel 7) process. Being stuck on their 14nm node contributed to that significantly, but wasn’t the only factor. Now Intel is split, pushing lower power “efficiency” cores paired with very power hungry P cores pushed to even higher clock speeds, just so they can claim to be faster than AMD. Lowering the max clock speeds just 300-400MHz reduces performance by 3%-5% while reducing power/heat by more than 25%. Same old marketing driven pursuit of clock speed regardless of power (and apparently stability) concerns.

[@moomie1634]

You missed a few major points. First, a big reason Intel did so well for so long is because AMD was either A) getting blocked from OEMs by Intel or B) Emptying a revolver into their foot repeatedly. When the whole market is a duopoly, and one of the major players is just absent, then of course Intel will dominate. Second, your PC market share data is outdated. Ever since Intel released their 12th, 13th, and 14th gen chips that far outperform AMD, Intel has been regaining market share, and recent data shows it's closer to 66/33 split in favor of Intel. Third, it's worth noting that, although PC/Computer sales have slowed, Data centers that run everything still need CPUs, and this market has blown up, and continues to grow. Intel also has a heavy market presence in storage, network, edge, and car chips through mobileye. Intel is also making big advancements into the GPU market, and controls nearly 5% of the GPU market. It's worth noting that a big reason why Intel never made these moves into gaming and smartphones is because it'd require massive restructuring in the way they make chips. For AMD, Nvidia, and Qualcomm it's really easy for them to shift into a new market. They design a new chip, send the designs over to TSMC, and then a few months later they get their chip batches done. For Intel, they not only need to design the chips, but also change the manufacturing process, which would require a lot of investment and time to put into fabs, and to Intel that just didn't make sense at the time. The old Intel really hated investing into manufacturing and such. Fourth, a big reason why crypto and Ai are so heavily favored towards Nvidia is because Nvidia has spend years investing in software, such as CUDA. CUDA is the biggest reason why Nvidia is so dominant in Ai currently, as AMD and Intel have both made hardware that is arguably much better than Nvidia's offerings at a cheaper price, but the software for each still lags behind. Software has been a long standing issue for Intel, as they haven't made major investments into the sector, and still underpay both software and hardware engineers, although this is likely to begin changing with Pat at the helm(When he was CEO of VMWare, SWE pay was much better than Intel currently pays). Fifth, the reason Intel is losing so much isn't because they're investing a lot, it's because revenue declined, but fixed costs stayed the same. If you read the 10k, you'd notice that the operating expenses over the last few years has all been at about 50 billion dollars a year, while revenue has dropped. This is mainly because consumers aren't buying as many computers currently due to already having bought a lot of tech during the pandemic, and now with fears of a recession people are buying less. This is combined with higher interest rates, which means companies aren't borrowing as much to upgrade servers, which has led to a massive slowdown in revenue there. Yes, companies are upgrading servers with Ai chips, but that's only the top companies, and the vast majority of companies aren't spending much on chips currently. Nvidia only needs a few players buying a ton of chips, but Intel needs a lot of different companies buying, simply because servers aren't much better simply by adding more chips. Luckily for Intel, both these trends are only temporary. It's already been noted that consumer demand is rising again, and a lot of people have been waiting for 15th gen to upgrade, which will be coming out later this year. Also, most servers are on a timetable to upgrade, and servers only last about 5 years MAX, meaning the 2020-2021 servers that were bought will need to be replaced, and Intel will likely be the ones reaping these rewards. The massive Capex actually isn't that much more than historical amounts, and the foundry business has always operated at a loss to serve the chipmaking part of the business, it's just that now, people are getting independent results about this and freaking out. Intel has already stated that their current capex will likely come down in the coming years, as their 18A fabs are getting finished, and those will have the most advanced chipmaking process in the world. It's also worth noting that the 2026 figure you stated isn't about Intel in general, but about Ai. Intel doesn't need to convince the market about CPUs, because they're already the market leader. There are still tons of people that will only buy Intel chips, because AMD before Ryzen was a gamble on whether you'd be getting a brick, an underperformer, or a thermal disaster. Intel's main spending right now is all about their future foundry business, which you didn't mention for some reason. This foundry business is projected to be second in the world by 2030, and the revenue from that alone should help drive the company forward. Overall, the company is in a better position than it's been in over a decade. Pat is easily one of the best leaders in the world, and what he did with VMWare should show people just how capable he is as a CEO. I have no doubts that 10 years from now, Intel will be one of the largest and best chip companies in the world. I'd say the video was good overall, and it made a lot of solid points about how Intel's past was markedly bad due to leadership while not ignoring the fact Intel has a strong future. It seems like most videos on Intel are only extrapolating past performance and suggesting that, even though the entire companies management and vision is different, that somehow the company will remain on this downward trajectory. I'd also like to see a video talking about their fab business and a deeper dive into that arm of the company. It has a very bright future, and with Pat at the helm, Intel will be a great investment for anyone willing to ride the wave.

[@lycanthoss]

On your second point - the Intel 12/13/14th gen chips don't outperform AMD, they mostly just match AMD. In some cases they outperform, but in many cases they also use a lot more power for the same performance, at least on higher loads.

[@raute2687]

Intel simply ran into the "wet van de remmende voorsprong", which very loosely translates as "the law of contemplacency". Intel at a time was só far ahead of AMD, that they decided they could afford to take it easier on their development, thus saving hundreds of millions of dollars per year. Then AMD made a break-through with their Ryzen chips and for Intel that kind of came as a huge surprise and they've been struggling to catch up ever since. But Intel has made this mistake before and weirdly they don't seem to have learned much from that experience. Remember the time when AMD's XP CPUs wiped the floor with Intel's CPUs because AMD's CPUs were way more efficient than Intel's CPUs, so despite Intel having CPU's that worked on much higher clock frequencies, AMD's CPUs outperformed them. That seems to have happened again when AMD introduced their Rysen CPUs.

[@artdehls9100]

It's much more because of Zen chiplettes, not chips. It's all about the chip yield. First numbers I heard before TR's release was that they were getting 80-90%... which was sick. What do you think the yield is on a 28 core Xeon, all cores up and over spec? Single digits. And if just one of those 28 cores is a little weak, bzzt. Meanwhile AMD pulls four chips from their best bins and effortlessly spawns another perfect monster. This leads to Intel pulling all their top silicon they'd normally want $12,000 for, selling it for $2,000 and bleeding out the ass. Meanwhile AMD sells theirs for $1,000, outperforms, and still makes money. And still even now, Intel won't abandon monolithic architecture.

A lot of them have been director and VP level as well as Principal Engineers. Retention goals have been set and we are still not even near on hitting retention targets. I do hope that Intel does well, but it seems like it will be due to becoming a foundry for all these other companies that are now creating their own chips. Middle management is still led by the same people that made Intel failed before. On the other hand, the older gen top tier engineers seem to be willing to retire as a lot of them have ~30 in the company and morale is so low at the individual contributor level.

[@monkeysrightpaw]

didn't even mention arm that is munching on their server business for many reasons. energy, ARM processors consume significantly less power compared to x86 chips, resulting in lower cooling requirements and reduced energy costs for data centers. By distributing workloads across a larger number of lower-power ARM cores instead of fewer high-power x86 cores, ARM servers can achieve better energy efficiency. High Density The system-on-chip (SoC) design of ARM processors allows for higher core densities, enabling more compute power in a smaller footprint. ARM servers like those from Gigabyte with up to 48 cores per chip can provide high performance while occupying less physical space in a data center. Cost-Effective Scaling ARM processors are generally less complex and cheaper to manufacture than x86 chips. This makes it more cost-effective to scale out ARM server farms by adding more nodes as needed, rather than scaling up with more powerful but expensive x86 servers. AWS (with Graviton), Alibaba, and others are already deploying ARM-based server instances in their data centers to leverage these benefits

This is just not going to be true. ARM chips have so many weaknesses. They can't run most x86 apps, they can't run processes as fast. The only reason x86 isn't being built by Qualcomm, Apple, and Nvidia is because it's open source and just requires royalties.

[@bennykhoo99]

Wow that is right

[@bobsoup2319]

Intel definitely is taking GPUs seriously. They just aren’t a gpu company at their heart and starting a new gpu branch is incredibly difficult

[@Sscc.]

Yeah intel is collapsing the 120 billion market cap, 75 percent market share in consumer laptops, and promising new reasearch

[@jamescole3152]

Years ago I was told that Apple should just close up shop. This was right at the time Steve Jobs was returning to Apple. Intel is making all the right moves at this time.

[@doodskie999]

You guys are wrong. Intel chips are multipurpose. My I9 13900k cpu can also double as a space heater. Im not kidding 😂

[@davidmalkowski7850]

It's still a shame what happened to Optane storage given it's price tag, low latency and extreme endurance. I strongly suggest you guys pick one up as a caching drive (NOT the tiny ones, the 256GB+ models) before they disappear forever. I got a 905p 1TB for my system and it slots perfectly into the last available 3.0 x4 slot :)

[@Spectacurl]

A few days ago Intel’s CEO was here in Costa Rica. I have a lot of friends whom work for them. They are not dead, far from it. Intel is probably getting super strong right now

[@PO-nb8qc]

I am sure. You should load up as many as Intel stocks as you can and borrow money to buy them! I am sure you are not disappointed!!!

[@Spectacurl]

@@PO-nb8qc that is a super stupid idea, but yeah… I want to invest in them, but not being a retard

[@evelynlau1929]

Erm might needa reassess the situation after the announcement from intel ytd

[@jaykrizzle]

Pat is a lying gaslighter

[@Weathering123]

Those Top 10 companies are isn't even chips making, they are mostly Equipment Supplier lmao

[@shudoy9386]

Where can I find the ranking as shown in the video?

[@leslielemmon]

If the channel exists in 20 years, there'll be the exact same video about NVIDIA. Maybe Google, too. No one stays on top forever. Companies slow down, age & die just like their leaders do.

[@AnotherPointOfView944]

On a much longer time scale, so do empires rise and fall. History shows its almost guaranteed.

[@iLegionaire3755]

NVIDIA never rests on their laurels, they will ALWAYS remain #1.

[@WilotPiko]

because of arrogantnity

[@timoblubb]

Is this guy not aware that intel is having the most efficient and fast AI cores? Although lacking a proper flagship with tons of them and driver support. The silicon good tough

[@royalhunter1855]

Nvidia acquiring ARM & AMD developing ZEN architecture was an important move that affected Intel's fall, intel used to be good, but amd & ARM became more important

[@Zhuhaiboy1]

Click bait video, did not even mention the biggest throne for Intel, the reason other companies are ahead, lithography.

[@RSUnicorn]

wtf is this vid lmao intel is coming back lol they just got the new high na euv machines. their foundry business is going catapult them back to the top

[@lr104ad7]

Their new laptop lunar lake CPUs are made by TSMC N3. Try again.

[@BurntFaceMan]

Little did he know the $10USD per stock drop this week after Intel "Shed" all their reputation axing 15000 peoples jobs ... yikes

[@lllongreen]

Click bait title. And i blame KZbin as much as the content creators

[@AdityaVarmaMudunuri]

Intel had a badass weapon in their foundry tech and didn't capitalize on it. What a shame.

All I can say is AMD used to be $1.98 a share less than 10 years ago. There's simply no space in the industry for a monopoly in consumer chips. People thought AMD was not safe and to me, I felt like you had to be insane to not buy it because there was no way they'd just disappear.

[@marcos1669]

They didnt dissapear because they had their GPU side of the business and because Intel wasnt interested on seeing them dissapear, because that would mean, they would be acussed of Monopoly

[@TimBorg]

boycott Intel

[@saltyroe3179]

A little known problem for Intel is that the best of the management and finance people would leave for start ups and other better paying jobs. Eventually this left people who were very good but not the kind who had vision and deep technical understanding. This is a giant problem, more insidious than all others. It would be like replacing Gordon Moore with a freshly minted MBA from Harvard that had no deep understanding of technology. These people could run a company efficiently, but it is not how tech companies survive.

[@braixeninfection6312]

I remember in 2017-18 times seeing AMD come out with the Ryzen. It was so amazing to see AMD come out of nowhere swinging hard! Intel had been releasing the same cpus with minor changes for years. And to see AMD come out hard was amazing! Intel panicked and just added a couple more cores but changed nothing. It was so sad to see Intel struggle in their own demise. They learned nothing from all this it seems. When one becomes too big they forget how to compete and end up losing when someone else steps up. Personally I am very glad to see Intel going down. They released the same cpus with no major changes year after year. The tech has evolved so much but Intel did so little. Glad to see them finally get a harsh reality check lol. Next pc I build will be an all AMD build. I love how they are actually trying and making huge advances while Intel is still stuck with super hot chips.

[@marcos1669]

It was more of an Intel mistake than an AMD win

[@doujinflip]

I was an AMD loyalist back when I was still building my own gaming rigs (nowadays fiddling more with networking equipment). Some saved dollars and Meltdown later, I’m glad I didn’t contribute to the strategic fiasco that became today’s Intel.

[@sherrykda3511]

Did he call AMD a chipmaker? Since they split with GF they dont make chips anymore, they only design them

[@techbecause]

They are resetting after a tragic period of drift. Like AMD, it is going to be 10 years to catch up, but here is the thing. They do still have Fabs so, they can do things Nvida and AMD will never be able to do.

[@KyleandPrieteni]

Nvidia not only had many evolutions of GPUs but also came up with Cuda, Cudnn, tensors, tensorRT, and more when it came to AI. Cuda I believe was back in 2007
