Intel sees AI opportunity for standalone programmable chip unit

Intel's programmable chip unit, now known as Altera, sees a significant opportunity in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The company believes its programmable chips fill a niche market between custom processors designed by cloud computing companies and general-purpose AI chips made by Nvidia. With the hardware requirements for AI still evolving, Altera aims to stay at the forefront of innovation by providing flexible and adaptable solutions. The market for programmable chips is estimated to be around $8-$10 billion by 2023, but Altera believes the potential is even larger. While Intel Foundry currently manufactures Altera's Agilex line of chips, it remains uncertain if the forthcoming Agilex 3 chips will be produced in-house.
