Fair enough, but when neither Intel nor AMD is bothering to put out competitive software&#x2F;hardware solutions for deep learning, which is apparently going to be a ~$40B market by 2020, I predict continued dominance here.  That said, since AMD is getting beaten by a factor of 2-3 in performance while Intel&#x27;s Accelerator&#x2F;FPGA solutions are getting beaten by a factor of 5-10, AMD has a real opportunity to be the competitor to NVIDIA here.<p>And despite questions about it, GTX 1080 will be a fine deep learning board, especially if the framework engineers get off their lazy butts and implement Alex Krizhevsky&#x27;s one weird trick algorithm, an approach which allows an 8-GPU Big Sur with 12.5GB&#x2F;s P2P bandwidth to go toe to toe with an 8-GPU DGX-1 on training AlexNet.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1404.5997" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1404.5997</a>
