💻 ** CPU requirements for AI workloads are multiplying, driving intensifying shortages and price hikes — Intel already shifting production from consumer chips to Xeon as inference workloads drive server CPU ratios back toward parity with GPUs **

As workloads continue migrating towards inference and agentic AI, CPU-GPU ratios could converge to 1:1 or even tilt further in favor of CPUs.
