Question Intel and AMD form x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group

[Joe NYC]

Since they mention this will go from laptop to server, it sounds like this is going to per CPU, unlike AMX that is per core.

If that's the case, is Intel abandoning the per core AMX when this ACE comes out? Or, in effect, just dispatching that code to the co-processor

Intel abandoning the per core AMX

doesn't exist

doesn't exist

How does it work? I was under the impression it is per core.

note the division between ia (x86) host and accelerators
intel advertises it as per core but their papers say "no".

It is per core.

It is per core.

Really? So they didn't build it in the sensible, scalable way as described in their own early papers on it but some other way.
Well, that's Intel.

If ACE is then per CPU, as a co-processor, it looks like Intel wants to fix it...

I don't really see them bloating each separate core in laptops with it (since it says this will go from laptops to servers)
