Intel revealed on Tuesday that some of the new tech it's banking on will reclaim some lost ground for its chip-making rivals.

At the annual Computex Expo in Taiwan, the company announced a new generation of processors for data centers, the pricing of its AI accelerator kit, and the design of its AI PC chip.

Intel is proud that its new Xeon 6 processors will deliver higher performance and power efficiency for more demanding, large-scale data center applications than previous generations of the chip.

According to Intel, high performance with a price point above the competition is a feature of the Gaudi 2 and Gaudi 3 AI accelerator kits unveiled at the Taipei event.

“Combining Xeon processors with Gaudi AI accelerators in a single system provides a powerful solution to make AI faster, cheaper, and more accessible,” Intel said in a statement.

Upgrading AI PCs

On the PC front, the company unveiled the architecture underpinning Moon Lake, seen as the face of the next generation of AI PCs, without compromised application compatibility and stingy power consumption — up to 40% less than previous chip generations.

This means that the people at Intel are working incredibly hard to turn around the mistakes of the past decade and have made incredible progress. Still, the race is far from over, and Intel's competitors are focused, so are they doing well,” said Rob Enderle (2016).

“The outcome of the competition could depend on who stumbles first, and none of these vendors are stumbling right now,” he told TechNewsWorld.

"Intel has defined a comprehensive strategy and is executing it well," added Benjamin Lee, a professor of engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Notably, all these processor designs — Xeon, Gaudi, Ultra — are under development and are expected to ship ahead of schedule,” he told TechNewsWorld.

Full spectrum availability

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said Intel is one of the world's leading companies innovating across the entire AI market—from semiconductor manufacturing to PCs, networks, edges, and data center systems.

“Our latest Xeon, Gaudi, and Core Ultra platforms, along with the power of our hardware and software ecosystem, will provide our customers with the flexible, secure, durable, and cost-effective solutions they need to provide great opportunities. The stakes ahead have been enormous,” he said in a statement.

That full spectrum range will help Intel deliver its “AI everywhere” vision. “It’s a smart bet that ubiquitous Artificial Intelligence is modeled on various large generative AIs versus the NVIDIA approach and applied to ultimate performance with increasingly large models and data,” Forrester senior analyst Alvin Nguyen told TechNewsWorld.

That scope is also of interest to AI software developers. Jack E, founder and principal analyst at J. Gold Associates in Northborough, said: “It’s an advantage because it’s a unified architecture so, in theory, you can have an app that starts on a PC and moves to data the whole center.”, Mass., IT consulting firm.

“When you go from an arm chip in a smartphone to an Nvidia chip in a data center with an app, there’s a lot of effort because you’re dealing with two different architectures,” he told TechNewsWorld.

 Intel is trying to regain market share

With the sixth-generation Xeon chip, Intel hopes to regain some of its lost share in the data center market. According to Reuters, Intel's share of that market for x86 chips fell 5.6 percent last year to 76.4%, and AMD now has 23.6% of the pie.

“Data center computing is an important market for Intel, and continued improvements in performance and energy efficiency will be critical,” explained Penn’s Lee.

“The concern is that generic devices like the Xeon are increasingly being commodified,” he continued. “All of the engineers in the offices know how to define and execute these systems.”

“Furthermore,” he added, “the gains in performance and efficiency depend not only on the design but also on the type of transistors used in that design. Competitors like AMD are also designing data center processors and manufacturing them with advanced transistors, increasing competition in this space.”

Conclusion: Intel’s unveiling of new AI technology highlights a strategic shift and a solid push to regain leadership in technology. As the company innovates and expands its AI capabilities, the competitive landscape is set for exciting growth.
