Intel Xeon 6 Processors and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerators With Ability to Handle Advanced AI Workloads Launched

Intel recently unveiled new hardware focused at improving artificial intelligence (AI) workflows. The company introduced the Xeon 6 processor with new Performance-cores (P-cores) and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator for enterprise customers and data centres on Tuesday. The chipmaker claims that the new hardware will offer both higher throughput and better cost optimisation to enable optimal performance per watt and lower total cost of ownership. These devices were launched to enable enterprises to handle the continuously increasing workload demands from more advanced AI models, according to the chipmaker. Intel Xeon 6 Processor Launched  The chipmaker says that its new Intel Xeon 6 is equipped with Performance-cores. These processors are not meant for retail consumers and instead will power data centres for enterprises to help them run cloud servers. Intel claims the Xeon 6 processor offers twice the performance of its predecessor due to increased core count. It also offers double the memory bandwidth and AI acceleration capabilities. Since it is hardware-based acceleration, it can run support very large language models (LLMs) with ease. It can “meet the performance …

Intel Announces Core Ultra, Xeon Processors for PCs and Servers in Bid to Join AI Gold Rush

Intel, the biggest maker of personal computer processors, announced new chips for PCs and data centres that the company hopes will give it a bigger slice of the booming market for artificial intelligence hardware. The lineup includes updated Xeon server chips — the second overhaul of that processor in less than a year — that use less electricity while boosting performance and memory, the company said in a statement Thursday. Intel’s Ultra Core chips for laptops and desktop computers, meanwhile, will let PCs process AI functions directly. Intel’s new product with the most to prove may be the Gaudi 3, the latest installment of a line that competes with Nvidia Corp.’s industry-leading H100. These chips — known as AI accelerators — help companies develop chatbots and other rapidly proliferating services. Gaudi 3 is on schedule for release in 2024, and Intel said that it will outperform the H100. Intel shares rallied as much as 5.6 percent in New York trading following the announcement, outpacing a 3.1 percent gain by the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index. …
