    There's nothing Epyc about this dog & pony show at all.

    The only thing that people care about is COARZ Intel. And AMD has 64 of them!

    Come on! You absolutely need AVX-512-VNNI for your everyday uses!

    As Charlie pointed out in his article, Intel will try to dazzle with highly specific and targeted benchmark results today.

    That slide though - Icelake is now Q4 2020 (assuming a 1 year product cadence).

    Nobody needs "VNNI" because Artificial Intelligence is a dead-end market that nobody cares about.

    Now back here in the real world, I know for a fact that my Grandma needs AT LEAST a 32 Core Threadripper2 to check her AOL email. Let's get real here.

    My grandpa needs 64 cores (+ HT!) when posting on Facebook!

    AI is for GPUs.
    Everything else is Intel's propaganda.

    So nothing about Spectre and Meltdown yet? Or is intel acting like that does not affect datacenters?

    Doubt they'd talk about vulns during a product-focused keynote.

    Cascade with HW mitigations it sounds like

    11:53AM EDT - I have no worries that the laptop will be OK for live blogging
    11:56AM EDT - So we're in battery saver mode and low brightness. Fingers crossed
    01:01PM EDT - (for anyone taking notes, my 10nm Cannon Lake laptop is now at 47% battery after one hour live blogging)

    50% down after 75 minutes when saving power doing a simple web use case when the system should be mostly idle?

    System has RX 540, and is using the Wi-Fi module a fair bit. Display is a 13x7 TN panel with bad viewing angles. Probably very inefficient

    Battery is also tiny. 37 Wh or something?

    Jim might rethink is choice now as he is more and more a PR puppet at Intel.

    Intel: *Hey look, we have Jim Keller, the savior!!! Do a trick Jim! Entertain the crowd.*

    Considering his job at AMD involved mostly PR for a product that Lisa Su killed and put in a dumpster, at least at Intel there's a better chance something will ship.

    I wonder how this TAM speech jives with this: https://semiaccurate.com/2018/08/07/intel-has-no-c...
    I really hope that all those slides can clobber AMD into the ground ;) /s

    Oh yeah, Charlie "There won't be any GPUs in 2016" Demerjian is always right.

    These Live Blogs are amazing. Please keep them coming. Very Informative.

    "Understanding how Intel works and being able to contribute to it is exciting"

    First thing first, by now, has Jim Keller learned that in Intel not following the well-defined privilege levels and thus OS kernel relocation being required is the INTENDED design, no bug?

    Joining a company that can't tell what is an intended feature in the spec and what is a design bug for its "scale" is just a joke!

    I felt like Intel is misrepresenting their data when it came to the Autonymous vehicles. Their chips are more about machine learning, than about Artificial Intelligence. Sure they can collect data, and store it on a server in the cloud, but it's still GPUs driving the actual ai in cars. This is just one example of many that Intel is relying on consumer incompetence to pitch to.

    Tech conglomerate Cisco and decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) firm SingularityNET have reached a partnership to develop a decentralized Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) project. The ambitious project aims to create more advanced AI technologies that will soon be able to exceed human abilities to learn and perform new tasks.
