Departing Intel exec to focus on loosening Nvidia’s grip on AI for movies, games

Raja Koduri, the chief architect at Intel Corp, is leaving to start a company that aims to loosen long-time rival Nvidia Corp’s grip on the digital movie and video game markets.

Koduri, whose departure was announced by Intel Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger in a tweet on Tuesday, told Reuters his as-yet-unnamed company will aim to make a new wave of so-called generative artificial intelligence tools that work on chips from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Apple Inc or even future chips based on open-source RISC-V technology.
