AI agents could put CPUs back in focus, one post argues

A post describes ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood quoting OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar: “people are chasing GPUs. They're going to be really shocked at how agentic AI activates CPUs.” The author argues that AI agents do more than ask a model for one answer: they plan, call tools, retrieve files, write code and query databases. In that view, coordinating those tasks—and handling data movement, storage and scheduling—could bring CPUs back to the center of the AI computing discussion.
