add FP16 support to intel CPU

it seems like fp16 is not supported on the intel CPU? Optimise the model to FP16 would be great

2nd option is to use a dedicated GPU, but most intel MAC uses AMD GPU so it might. be a extra step

I don't think there's much that can be done about intel CPUs not supporting FP16. I should probably update the initialization to avoid the warnings. Thank you for raising the issue.
