This week, in the leadup to the release of its new processors incorporating AI-accelerating neural processing units (NPUs) on Dec. 14, Intel announced the AI PC Acceleration Program, which, it said in a release, “will enable artificial intelligence (AI) on more than 100 million PCs through 2025, propelled by the upcoming launch of Intel Core Ultra processors.”
Working with more than 100 ISVs and more than 300 AI-accelerated features, the company said it will enhance PC experiences across audio effects, content creation, gaming, security, streaming, video collaboration and more. Program members include Adobe, Audacity, BlackMagic, BufferZone, CyberLink, DeepRender, Fortemedia, MAGIX, Rewind AI, Skylum, Topaz, VideoCom, Webex, Wondershare Filmora, XSplit and Zoom.
The AI PC Acceleration Program is an extension of Intel Partner Alliance’s AI Accelerator Initiative, which provides a programmatic engagement approach for more than 1,000 ISV partners to build, optimize and deploy AI solutions from the edge through the cloud.
