Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor vs Radeon Instinct comparison

The Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor (NNP) is a purpose built architecture for deep learning. This new architecture provides the needed flexibility to support all deep learning primitives while making core hardware components as efficient as possible.

Deep learning is taking the next leap forward. Increasingly sophisticated and complex data, models, and techniques will allow AI to move beyond identifying information to understanding context – enabling a level of “common sense” for reasoning and decision-making.

Radeon Instinct family of server accelerator products brings in a new era of heterogeneous compute capabilities for Machine Intelligence and HPC systems by introducing an open approach to compute from the metal forward. Higher levels of datacenter performance and efficiencies are enabled through AMD’s introduction of world-class GPU technologies like the next generation “Vega” architecture and the Radeon Instinct’s open ecosystem approach to datacenter design through our ROCm software platform, support of various system architectures, and industry standard interconnect technologies.
