Since mid -2024, when Intel presented disastrous economic results corresponding to the second quarter and caused a considerable fall in the value of the shares, and, therefore, of its market value, the Blue Company has suffered a large number of changes Not only in management, with the early retirement of Pat Gelsinger last December as CEO of the company, but also in future projects.
One of Intel’s star projects for 2025 were the chips Falcon Shores. Initially it was planned to be a combination of CPU and GPU In the style of the AMD APPO, however, it underwent an important design and functioning change to be a GPU and plant as an alternative to the NVIDIA and AMD models in the field of AI training.
Intel Cancela Falcon Shore and will focus on Jaguar Shores
During the presentation of results corresponding to the last quarter of 2024, Intel has confirmed that he cancels the project of its next generation GPU for artificial intelligence tasks. However, Intel cancels this project, it does not mean throwing all the work forboard, since it will take advantage for future developments such as Jaguar Shores, which would be the successor of Falcon Shores.
According to Michelle Johnston, Intel executive co -director, the AI data centers are very attractive market for the company. However, its presence in the cloud -based data centers is minimal, if not void. To focus the company’s resources in other areas where it is present, the company has decided to cancel this project and simplify the road map for the coming years.
Regarding Gaudí 3, Intel’s accelerator, Johnston said:
One of the things we have learned from Gaudí is that it is not enough to deliver the silicon. Falcon Shores will help us in that process of working in the system, networks, memory, all those components. But what customers really want is that large -scale rack solution, so we can get to that with Jaguar Shores.
Despite the benefits, among which were also the price, with which Intel announced Gaudí 3 To compete with H100 From Nvidia, the sales of this accelerator have been disappointing due to problems with the software, being IBM the only major company that has opted for them.
Intel was aim Instinct They reach 7,000 million dollars.
One of the reasons that claim many analysts to justify the economic situation in which Intel is related to the disinterest he has shown by artificial intelligence in recent years until it has been too late and wanted to get on the car without having any Type of previous experience.
Nor can we forget about Intel Foundry Intel’s commitment to become a TSMC rival where many millions have been invested and that has barely received the love from great technological ones.
