Intel and AMD standardize ACE extensions to unify AI matrix compute on x86 (opens in new tab)
Intel and AMD have released the official specification for AI Compute Extensions, or ACE, a standardized instruction set for future x86 processors. Developed through the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group, these extensions aim to accelerate matrix multiplication and machine learning workloads directly on the CPU. By establishing a common technical standard, the two rivals intend to prevent market fragmentation and provide a consistent target for software developers. <a href="
