I’m surprised the Stratix FPGA platform isn’t getting more marketing. Half a TiB/s memory bandwidth [0] (white paper) when GPU’s memory transfer is the bulk of the overhead could help Intel make up for lost gains in SIMD application marketshare.
There isn't more buzz around the Stratix 10 MX because it's a phantom chip. Intel's December press release clearly states that the chips are available but you can not buy one of these chips today. A blogger did some research and came to the conclusion that the press release claims were simply not true:
HP has GenZ, IBM is going to move from DDR or DDR buffers to CAPI attached RAM -- expect to see HBM2 attached to CPUs in 2019. I'd be happy to discuss that kind of thing in email.
Certainly misplaced! It was late, and somehow I scrambled IBM Research and Intel. I was thinking about how Intel's marketing is generally quite bad, whether it's unfair benchmarks or not knowing which products to actually push.
