high end gpu market

the company intel designs a lot of cpus 

and produces their cpus themselves in their own factories 

intel has tried to get into the gpu market too 

by designing and producing low end gpus 

for the gaming market 

which has been met with tough competition 

from competitors like amd and nvidia 

but there is a significant demand for high end gpus 

in the supercomputing market and the ai market 

so why doesn't intel make high end gpus 

for the supercomputing market and the ai market 

gaming gpus are usually sold for a few 100 dollars each 

but sometimes up to a 1000 dollars each 

but gpus for supercomputers and the ai market 

are sold for 10'000 dollars or 30'000 dollars each 

so intel could make a lot of money 

in supercomputing market and the ai market 

smaller players could design their own high end gpus 

but they would still need to get those produced by someone else 

like tsmc 

while intel's advantage is that intel could produce their own high end gpus for the supercomputing market and the ai market 

and if the demand for high end gpus increases significantly 

in the supercomputing market and the ai market 

then tsmc would possibly have difficulties satiating that demand 

but intel could meet that demand 

if intel produced their own high end gpus 

elon musk's xai is according to media planning to build a supercomputer 

that would use 300'000 high end gpus that cost 30'000 dollars each 

and microsoft together with openai have similar plans 

according to media 

there are a lot of companies that design ai coprocessors 

which probably are produced by tsmc 

and intel has (had?) some ai coprocessor products 

but the supercomputing market and the ai market 

seem to prefer gpus instead of ai coprocessors instead 

it seems that high end gpus are sometimes called ai coprocessors 

intel has most of their factories in usa 

while tsmc has almost all of their factories in taiwan 

and taiwan is a potential hotspot because of it's proximity to china 

in a possible war between usa and china 

which could be of significance 

if gpus would be used by military supercomputers 

controlling drones and automated defences
