New Silicon, Software and Services to Fuel Digital Transformations
Artificial intelligence, ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous networking, and cloud-to-edge infrastructure are generating unprecedented demand for semiconductors and opening the door to unlimited possibilities, ranging from a truly hybrid workforce to totally new immersive experiences. Simultaneously, businesses are under increasing pressure to address supply chain, security, sustainability, and the ability to respond to the complexity of new workloads. Intel is addressing these difficulties by introducing new hardware, software, and services from the cloud to the edge to the client.
Announcements include:
A significant advancement in deep learning processing with Habana Gaudi2: Gaudi processors are used for high-end deep learning AI training and are known for allowing clients to train more while paying less. The Habana Gaudi2 and Greco AI accelerators are based on a single software stack, Synapse AI, which easily supports diverse architectures and allows end users to benefit from the processors’ performance and efficiency. Furthermore, Gaudi2 outperforms existing in-market A100-based products for important vision and NLP workloads by two orders of magnitude.
4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable sets a new standard for modern performance: Intel is shipping initial SKUs of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) today. These are the first of many SKUs, with more due to ramp throughout the remainder of the year. The 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver exceptional overall performance, will support DDR5, PCIe Gen5 and CXL 1.1, and are equipped with new integrated accelerators that deliver up to 30x performance versus the prior generation through software and hardware optimizations for AI workloads2. For telco networks it also has new capabilities that deliver up to two times3 capacity gains for virtual radio access network (vRAN) deployments. In high performance computing, Intel Xeon processors, code-named Sapphire Rapids with high bandwidth memory (HBM), will dramatically boost memory bandwidth available to the processor, super-charging high-performance computing.
Project Apollo makes AI more accessible to enterprises: In collaboration with Accenture, Intel launched Project Apollo, a programme that will provide enterprises with more than 30 open-source AI solution kits optimised to make AI more accessible to customers in on-premises, cloud, and edge environments. In the next months, the first Project Apollo kits will be available.
Preparing for the data center of the future with IPUs: Intel unveiled its IPU roadmap extending through 2026, featuring new FPGA + Intel architecture platforms (code-named Hot Springs Canyon) and the Mount Morgan (MMG) ASIC, as well as next-generation 800GB products. IPUs are dedicated products with hardened acceleration for infrastructure compute needs, allowing businesses to accomplish tasks quicker and solve problems faster.
Single GPU solution for media transcode, visual graphics and inference in the cloud: Intel’s data center GPU, code-named Arctic Sound-M (ATS-M), is the industry’s first discrete GPU with an AV1 hardware encoder. ATS-M is a versatile GPU with leadership transcode quality and performance targeting 150 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Developers will be able to easily design for ATS-M with an open software stack through oneAPI. ATS-M will be available in two form factors and in more than 15 system designs from partners including Dell Technologies, Supermicro, Cisco, HPE, Inspur and H3C. It will launch in 2022’s third quarter.
New 12th Gen Intel Core HX processors for hybrid work: The company completed the 12th Gen family with the launch of the new 12th Gen Intel Core HX processors. Created for professionals who need maximum performance and flexibility to navigate a hybrid environment, and with up to 16 cores and clock speeds up to 5 GHz, the Intel Core i9-12900HX processor is the world’s best mobile workstation platform4.
Recognizing that users want the ability to access computational resources when and when they need them, Intel released the first concept demonstration of Project Endgame, its software infrastructure programme. This software infrastructure layer lets devices to use computing resources from other devices in the network to deliver an always-available, low latency, continuous compute service. For example, a demanding GPU workload running on one device can sense and tap into additional graphics processing horsepower from a more powerful machine to enhance the user’s experience. Project Endgame is in development, and Intel will begin beta testing the first milestones of the technology this year.
An early look at initiatives Intel is doing to allow service models across the ecosystem was also included in the announcements. The launch of the Intel On Demand service offering assists organisations in meeting the demands of evolving workloads, product sustainability, and chances to scale systems close to the data. Intel introduced a new consumption business model that enable customers to fit their infrastructure with their business needs and requirements. It is already available through select partners HPE GreenLake, Lenovo TruScale, and PhoenixNAP’s Bare Metal Cloud.
Working Together to Create World-Changing Technology
The power and beneficial impact of Intel’s comprehensive portfolio is brought to life via instances that demonstrate not only how hardware, software, and services interact, but also how deeply Intel interacts with customers, partners, and the ecosystem.
Highlights include:
High performance computing to solve the world’s most complex challenges: Argonne National Laboratories is on track to deliver 2 exaflops of peak performance with the Aurora supercomputer running on the Intel Xeon processor, code-named Sapphire Rapids with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), and the Intel data center GPU, code-named Ponte Vecchio, with Intel oneAPI providing developers seamless system integration. During today’s opening keynote, Rick Stevens, laboratory director for Computing, Environment and Life Science of Argonne, showed the installation of the Aurora supercomputer for the first time, discussing how it will help solve some of humankind’s most complex problems, such as more accurate climate predictions and discovery of new cancer treatments, while making exascale accessible for more research and development, and innovation.
Confidence with confidential computing: Global enterprises must face numerous challenges when considering how to use regulated data to properly train and build neural networks in an increasingly dynamic regulatory framework. Bosch and Intel worked on a research project to create a confidential AI solution that will allow Bosch to train its neural networks in the public cloud in a secure manner. Bosch Corporate Research has designed a proprietary AI platform driven by Intel Software Guard Extensions, which are available with 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, to enable do this at scale.
Agriculture autonomy with private wireless networks: Intelligent edge technologies have the ability to alter food cultivation by assisting farmers in increasing yields and operational efficiency while addressing manpower shortages and human error. Data analytics can also provide insights that assist farmers enhance yields and improve crop health while using fewer resources. Blue White Robotics created a new sort of autonomous agriculture solution that converts a grower’s existing equipment into a fleet of autonomous tractors linked to an internet-based management platform. Blue White Robotics collaborated with Intel and Federated Wireless to design a scalable solution that combines Intel Smart Edge and Intel Xeon D processors, as well as the capability of edge computing and shared spectrum, to create a private wireless network on any farm, anywhere.
