AMD's earnings call to investorsĀ revealed that they plan to ingrain their future EPYC CPUs with the recently acquired Xilinx FPGA AI inference engine. The first line of new processors will launch next year, showing the company's immediate focus on the significant growth bred from the $54 billion purchase of the chipmaker for AMD's future needs. Patents that have appeared since the acquisition demonstrate that the company is looking to enable AI accelerators to their line of processors through multiple designs and develop a 3D chip stacking technique loosely based on Intel designs.

In the latter half of 2015, Intel purchased company Altera for $16.7 billion. After the acquisition, Intel began to work on designs based on Altera's chip technology, which partnered with CPUs and FPGAs. However, even after announcing the technology and offering designs on display, the silicon required for the chips was unavailable until 2018. Once the silicon was accessible, it was constrained and experimental in design and failed to launch fully. Intel has never returned to the project since then, so it is unsure if they plan to incorporate it into the future.
