Elsewhere AMD had self-destructed, making it pretty much an x86 world. And Nvidia, a late starter in the GPU space, previously mowed down all of it many competitors in the 1990s. Suddenly only ATI, now a part of AMD, remained. It boasted just half of Nvidia\u2019s prior market share.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.impactlab.net\/2018\/07\/13\/the-ai-revolution-has-spawned-a-new-chips-arms-race\/\">http:\/\/www.impactlab.net\/2018\/07\/13\/the-ai-revolution-has-sp...arms-race\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no x86 in the AI chip market yet\u2014\u201d People see a gold rush; there\u2019s no doubt.\u201d A lot has changed since 1918.
