The AI chip unicorn that’s about to revolutionize everything has computational Graph at its Core

The AI chip unicorn that’s about to revolutionize everything has computational Graph at its Core

AI is the most disruptive technology of our lifetimes, and AI chips are the most disruptive infrastructure for AI. By that measure, the impact of what Graphcore is about to massively unleash in the world is beyond description. Here is how pushing the boundaries of Moore's Law with IPUs works, and how it compares to today's state of the art on the hardware and software level. Should incumbent Nvidia worry, and users rejoice?
