The Intel Core Ultra mobile processor family brings AI to PCs, while 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors offer AI acceleration for data centers.
Today at the Intel AI Everywhere event in New York City, Intel announced the general availability of the Intel Core Ultra mobile processor family, delivering faster AI performance for graphic designers, smart factories and more. The 5th Gen Intel Xeon processor family, coming next year to OEMs and cloud service providers, has AI acceleration in all of its cores. Plus, Intel is making progress with manufacturing its Gaudi3 AI accelerator.
Intel’s overall goal is to proliferate what Intel is calling AI PCs, meaning on-chip AI for laptops and data centers, allowing more hardware to run generative AI more efficiently. Acer, Asus, Lenovo, LG, Dell, HP, MSI, Samsung and more laptop makers include Intel chips in their devices.
“Intel is on a mission to bring AI everywhere through exceptionally engineered platforms, secure solutions and support for open ecosystems,” Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said in a press release.Intel Core Ultra mobile processor family is generally available
The key differentiator of the Intel Core Ultra mobile processor family (Figure A) is the on-chip AI accelerator, or neural processing unit; this makes these products especially suitable for running generative AI locally, Intel said.
