Intel is set to deliver a 5x jump in AI performance in just two chip generations, according to new statements made by Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake, which are scheduled to launch later this year, are said to offer 3x the AI performance of current Core Ultra chips, while Panther Lake is coming next year with an additional 2x improvement.
Panther Lake notes:
- 2025 client offering
- Built on Intel 18A
- Heading into fab Q1 2024
Gelsinger on AI improvements:
The Core Ultra platform delivers leadership AI performance today with our next-generation platforms launching later this year, Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake tripling our AI performance. In 2025 with Panther Lake, we will grow AI performance up to an additional 2x. NEX is well positioned to benefit from the proliferation of AI workloads on the edge where our market-leading hardware and software assets provides improved latency, reliability and cost.
Gelsinger on Core Ultra and AI PCs:
Ultra is the centerpiece of the AI PC, systems that are capable of natively running popular $10 billion parameter models and drive superior performance on key AI-enhanced applications like Zoom, Adobe and Microsoft. We expect to ship approximately 40 million AI PCs in 2024 alone with more than 230 designs from ultrathin PCs to handheld gaming devices to be delivered this year from OEM partners, Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Samsung Electronics and others.
