AMD, Intel integrate x86 AI software to counter Arm push

AMD and Intel will work together to make AI development on x86 CPUs easier, HotHardware reported. The two companies plan to integrate their PyTorch optimisation technologies into the open-source oneDNN library. The move is expected to let developers use the same software on processors from both companies and reduce the need to optimise AI workloads separately for each CPU. The cooperation is seen as a response to Arm-based competitors.
