“One factor behind the swing-back of the (tech) pendulum has been a shift in demand from training #LLMs to running queries against them (known as inference). CPUs play an important role in managing inference, for instance loading an #AIModel and managing the output.
The latest evidence of this has come from the surprisingly strong #CPU demand reported this week by #ARM and AMD, further lifting both company’s stocks. #AMD said it now expects compound growth of 35 per cent from CPU sales over the next few years, roughly double what it predicted only six months ago.
#OldIT could get an even bigger lift from the wider use of #AIAgents. As agents take on more of the work previously done by humans, tech executives like #Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang claim they will use the same #DigitalTools — essentially, the online #software applications that already play a big part in how work gets done.”
