细读EETimes的AI芯片文章

最近EETimes上有一篇文章“AI Silicon Preps for 2018 Debuts”，非常全面的介绍了和AI芯片相关的各种问题，值得仔细阅读。由于已经有了翻译文章，我只挑一些个人认为比较有意思的内容和大家一起讨论一下。•••“The industry this year may see a microprocessor ship from startup Graphcore that uses no DRAM and one from rival Cerebras Systems that pioneers wafer-level integration. The hefty 2.5-D Nervana chip acquired by Intel is already sampling, and a dozen other processors are in the works. Meanwhile, chip companies from ARM to Western Digital are working on cores to accelerate the inference part of deep neural nets.”这段文字信息量很大，其中Graphcore的无DRAM设计（Graphcore AI芯片：更多分析），Nervana的2.5D Chip（见下图）大家都比较熟悉了。Western Digital是用Esp ………………………………
