The AI Impact Tour: Last Chance to Request an Invite
If you’re interested in exploring various methods for auditing AI models, don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend The AI Impact Tour on June 5th. With only one week left to request an invite, time is running out. This event promises to provide valuable insights into the world of AI and its impact on different industries.
Intel’s Innovation in AI Computing
Despite Qualcomm being named the chipmaker for Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs, Intel has not been deterred from innovating in this field. In fact, Intel had already been working on chips to power AI PCs before Microsoft’s announcement. On the same day that Qualcomm made headlines, Intel revealed its Lunar Lake processor, set to be released in Q3 2024. This chip will power over 80 new laptop designs from 20 different computer makers.
Architectural Details of Lunar Lake
At Computex, Intel is unveiling architectural details about the Lunar Lake processor. The company claims that this processor will deliver up to 40 percent system-on-a-chip (SoC) power and more than three times the AI compute. Lunar Lake is designed with two microarchitectures: a Performance Core (P-core) called Lion Cove and an Efficient Core (E-core) called Skymont. It features Intel’s fourth-generation neural processing unit (NPU), delivering up to 48 tera-operations per second (TOPS) of AI performance. The chip also includes the new Battlemage GPU design, combining Xe2 GPU cores for graphics and Xe Matrix Extension (XMX) arrays for AI. Intel claims it can deliver more than 60 TOPS and offers significant improvements in security and battery life.
The AI PC Race Heats Up
The race for AI PCs is heating up with Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs opening up new possibilities for innovation. Nvidia and AMD have also disclosed their efforts to bring AI features to more laptops. Nvidia teased “RTX AI PC” laptops from Asus and MSI, while AMD has its Strix laptop CPU. It is estimated that AI PCs will make up nearly 60 percent of new PCs by 2027. To remain competitive, chipmakers must develop powerful NPUs to support the AI PC OS.
Implications for the Market
When Intel’s Lunar Lake is launched in time for the holiday season, it is expected to bring an additional 80 PCs to the market. However, the company has not yet revealed the OEMs. The chip will enable users to experience Copilot+ features through an over-the-air update, including the controversial Recall feature.
Don’t Miss Out on The AI Audit in NYC
Next week in NYC, executives will gather for an exclusive invite-only event focused on auditing AI models for optimal performance and accuracy. This event will provide valuable strategies for organizations looking to leverage AI effectively.
As the AI PC market continues to evolve, chipmakers like Intel are pushing the boundaries of innovation. The competition among companies like Intel, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and AMD is driving advancements in AI computing and bringing new possibilities to the world of technology.
