Which Intel lacked," tweeted Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning research at Nvidia, who previously worked at Intel as an intern on the Larrabee project. The CPUs that made Intel big now have presented what Logan Purk, senior analyst at Edward Jones, called "the inventor's dilemma," when newer technology replaces established incumbents. Mobile chipmaker Qualcomm approached Intel to acquire its chip-designing business and, later, a merger deal, Reuters and the Journal reported, respectively.
