Intel announces the Launch of Powerful Next-Gen Products

“AI innovation is poised to raise the digital economy’s impact up to as much as one-third of global gross domestic product1,” said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. “Intel is developing the technologies and solutions that empower customers to seamlessly integrate and effectively run AI in all their applications — in the cloud and, increasingly, locally at the PC and edge, where data is generated and used.”

Intel Core Ultra Powers AI PC and New Applications

Intel Core Ultra represents the company’s largest architectural shift in 40 years and launches the AI PC generation with innovation on all fronts: CPU compute, graphics, power, battery life and profound new AI features. The AI PC represents the largest transformation of the PC experience in 20 years, since Intel® Centrino® untethered laptops to connect to Wi-Fi from anywhere.Intel Core Ultra features Intel’s first client on-chip AI accelerator — the neural processing unit, or NPU — to enable a new level of power-efficient AI acceleration with 2.5x better power efficiency than the previous generation2. Its world-class GPU and leadership CPU are each also capable of speeding up AI solutions.

New Xeon Brings More Powerful AI to the Data Center, Cloud, Network and Edge

The 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor family, also introduced today, brings a significant leap in performance and efficiency5: Compared with the previous generation of Xeon, these processors deliver 21% average performance gain6 for general compute performance and enable 36% higher average performance per watt across a range of customer workloads7. Customers following a typical five-year refresh cycle and upgrading from even older generations can reduce their TCO by up to 77%8.Xeon is the only mainstream data center processor with built-in AI acceleration, with the new 5th Gen Xeon delivering up to 42% higher inference and fine-tuning on models as large as 20 billion parameters9. It’s also the only CPU with a consistent and ever-improving set of MLPerf training and inference benchmark results.

AI Acceleration and Solutions Everywhere Developers Need It

Both Intel Core Ultra and 5th Gen Xeon will find their way into places you might not expect. Imagine a restaurant that guides your menu choices based on your budget and dietary needs; a manufacturing floor that catches quality and safety issues at the source; an ultrasound that sees what human eyes might miss; a power grid that manages electricity with careful precision.
