    Having done a technical review of what Nervana has to offer... Why Intel?

    My assumption, is that Intel will lease the chips + software, similar to the way HP, Dell, etc. Lease GPU machines.

    This is so huge. I'm a little saddened myself, Nervana had the possibility to live on its own. I understand the capital investments needed to take on the other three giants were immense, but I thought they had the backing.

    Honestly though, I would still consider an internship there in a instant, were I better connected with universities. The things they do consistently blow my mind, and they are one of the few startups out there that do.

    What regulatory approvals are required for this transaction?

    Finally, Intel makes a move in Deep Learning.
