Intel Core Ultra and new Xeon chips

Intel also announced Core Ultra chips, designed for Windows laptops and PCs, and new fifth-generation Xeon server chips. Both include a specialized AI part called an NPU that can be used to run AI programs faster.

It’s the latest sign that traditional processor makers, including Intel rivals AMD and Qualcomm, are reorienting their products lines around and alerting investors to the possibility of AI models leading to surging demand for their chips.


The Core Ultra won’t provide the same kind of power to run a chatbot like ChatGPT without an internet connection, but can handle smaller tasks. For example, Intel said, Zoom runs its background-blurring feature on its chips. They’re built using the company’s 7-nanometer process, which is more power efficient than earlier chips.

But, importantly, the 7-nanometer chips show Gelsinger’s strategy to catch up to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in terms of chip manufacturing prowess by 2026 hasn’t fallen behind.

Core Ultra chips also include more powerful gaming capabilities and the added graphics muscle can help programs like Adobe Premier run more than 40% faster. The lineup launched in laptops that hit stores on Thursday.

Finally, Intel’s fifth-generation Xeon processors power servers deployed by large organizations like cloud companies. Intel didn’t share pricing, but the previous Xeon cost thousands of dollars. Intel’s Xeon processors are often paired with Nvidia GPUs in the systems that are used for training and deploying generative AI. In some systems, eight GPUs are paired to one or two Xeon CPUs.

Intel said the latest Xeon processor will be particularly good for inferencing, or the process of deploying an AI model, which is less power hungry than the training process.
