Intel withdrew its $500 million revenue target for its artificial intelligence chip.
The hardware giant is focusing on contract chip production with companies like Amazon to regain leadership. It will produce special server chips for Amazon’s data centers with the Intel 3 process. Then, it plans to develop a special chip for the cloud on the 18A architecture.
