During an event dubbed “AI Everywhere”, Intel this week announced its Intel Core Ultra mobile processor family that it said “ushers in the age of the AI PC.” The new processors contain not only a CPU and GPU, but an AI accelerator known as a neural processing unit (NPU). Boston Consulting Group predicts that AI PCs will comprise 80 per cent of the PC market by 2028.
Intel also announced its 5th Gen Xeon processor family, also including AI accelerators, which it said in a release, “deliver 21 per cent average performance gain for general compute performance and enable 36 per cent higher average performance per watt across a range of customer workloads. Customers following a typical five-year refresh cycle and upgrading from even older generations can reduce their TCO by up to 77 per cent.”
