Intel’s Advances in Manufacturing and Future Processors
At Intel’s Innovation 2023 event in San Jose, California, the company shared significant information regarding its manufacturing advancements and future processors. The event was filled with insights and updates on semiconductor chip technology, including discussions about the Meteor Lake chip and the company’s processor schedule. The wealth of information presented caught the attention of many, including Intel’s executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center and AI Group, Sandra Rivera.
According to Rivera:
“I felt like we got into some discussions that were broader than one company’s own interests, and that made the conversation more interesting to me.”
During an interview with VentureBeat, Rivera discussed various topics related to AI, including generative AI, the metaverse, competition with Nvidia, digital twins, and Numenta’s brain-like processing architecture. Here are some key insights from the interview:
On the Metaverse:
“Metaverse and 3D applications drive more compute requirements, not just on client devices, but also on the infrastructure side. It’s part of the narrative of operating in a large and growing market, which is always better than fighting for scraps in a shrinking market.”
On Competition with Nvidia:
“We see opportunities to be an alternative to the market leader. AI is not limited to large language models or GPUs. CPUs play a crucial role in AI workflows, especially in pre-processing and data management.”
On AI Mojo:
“We have a different value proposition about being open, investing in the ecosystem, and contributing to open standards projects. Openness and accessibility are key factors in driving innovation and gaining market share.”
