I thought this was a very good article to explain other companies are interested in making their own AI chips and getting away from companies like NVIDIA.

    Just the latest fad. Alibaba probably just going to counterfeit chips like everything else available from them.

    They aren't really Artificial Intelligence though, it's a buzz word for a processor with complex algorithms. I highly doubt these companies want their products to think for themselves as if they have another purpose than what they were built for.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].
