Intel Announces New AI Chips to Compete with Nvidia and AMD

Intel recently announced a new series of AI chips, like the Xeon 6, to compete with Nvidia and AMD. It will be able to handle high workloads and also be energy efficient at the same time.

Patrick P Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, said, “AI is driving one of the most consequential eras of innovation the industry has ever seen.”. He added, “The magic of silicon is once again enabling exponential advancements in computing that will push the boundaries of human potential and power the global economy for years to come.” 

Xeon 6

The Xeon 6 processor is well-developed and very powerful compared to the previous chips that the company offers, and it provides better performance and power efficiency at the same time. This is important because data centres use a lot of energy, which can be expensive and bad for the environment. The Xeon 6 processor will be able to handle high-intensity workloads better, making it a great choice for data centres.

The Gaudi 2 and Gaudi 3 AI chip accelerators are designed to help with AI tasks. These chips will be able to do these tasks faster and more efficiently than other chips. This is important because AI is becoming more and more important in the tech industry, and companies are always looking for ways to improve their AI capabilities.

“Customers are looking for high-performance, cost-effective Gen AI training and inferencing solutions. And they’ve started to turn to alternatives like Gaudi. They want a choice. They want open software and hardware solutions and time-to-market solutions at dramatically lower TCOs [total cost of ownership],” Gelsinger said.

Intel is trying to compete with other companies, like Nvidia and AMD, which also have a big market for AI chips. These companies have already announced new AI chips in the last few days and Intel also did not want to get left behind. Intel wants to show that its chips are just as good, if not better.

This is important because Intel has been on the sidelines of the AI frenzy, with tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Google buying up as many Nvidia chips as possible.

Hence Intel’s new AI chips for data centers are a great addition to the tech market. The Xeon 6 processor and the Gaudi 2 and Gaudi 3 AI accelerators are expected to provide better performance and power efficiency for high-intensity data centre workloads. These new chips will also help Intel compete with its rivals, Nvidia and AMD, in the booming AI industry. Overall, these new chips are a great step forward for the tech industry and for Intel.
