Intel was very lazy and their data center CPU+GPU’s were far Slow and late to the party. So with this kind of latency and under-delivery, no wise man on earth will consider INTEL for super computers.
On the other hand AMD with much less resources could deliver the best CPU+GPU+API to accomplish this goal and made the first Exa-scale supercomputer. Congratulation AMD.

The theory was that smaller outfits like Cray and SGI just didn’t have the finances to support such large deals. Now they’re both part of HPE. It’s not clear how much appetite IBM has for the HPC marketplace anymore. Intel is out. Atos and Lenovo are unlikely to get the nod from any US government customer. Nvidia is large enough, but they don’t gain much by being the prime, except to make sure that their GPU is offered, instead of AMD’s. Is that enough to get them in the game? Is it really going to be HPE and Dell bidding against the cloud hyperscalers?
