⁽¹⁾ Performance comparison based on ResNet-50 on NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU running TensorRT 3 RC vs. Intel Xeon-D 1587 Broadwell-E CPU and Intel DL SDK. Score doubled to comprehend Intel's stated claim of 2x performance improvement on Skylake with AVX512.

⁽²⁾ Comparison based on cost and ResNet-50 inference performance of an HGX-1 server with 8x NVIDIA Tesla V100, and estimated cost and ResNet-50 performance of a dual socket Intel Skylake scale-out server. Skylake performance estimation comprehends Intel's stated claim of 2x performance improvement on Skylake with AVX512.
