Intel is one of the big boys when it comes to the annual CES conference. During the event, the company made several announcements from PCs to new devices on artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and autonomous driving (AD). The Intel conference was presented by Gregory Bryant, senior vice president, Client Computing Group; Navin Shenoy, executive vice president, Data Center Group; and Professor Amnon Shashua, president and CEO of Mobileye, an Intel company.
One of the newest products is the 10nm PC processor, code-named "Ice Lake" will be bringing a new level of integration with Intel's new Sunny Cove microarchitecture. This sets a new stage for AI usage and improves graphics performance with Intel Gen 11 graphics for better gaming and content creation. Then there's also Project Athena, a new class of laptops that are designed to enable 5G and AI. They are expected to be available in the second half of 2019.
Moving on to the CPU architecture scene, there is a new client platform called "Lakefield" and it features the first iteration of its Foveros 3D packaging technology. Basically, what it does is combining different pieces of IP that might have previously been discrete into a single product with a smaller motherboard footprint, which allows OEMs more flexibility for thin and light form factor design. Lakefield is expected to be in production this year. On top of that, new additions will be integrated into the 9th Gen Intel Core processors for a wide range of desktop products and it's said to be available this month.
Speaking of processors, Intel also developed a new Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor for Inference or NNP-I. It's meant to take on high workload demands and interestingly, Facebook is also one of Intel's development partners on the NNP-I.
There is a lot more going down at CES 2019 so if you want to know more about it, you can go over to their newsroom over here and stay tuned for more CES 2019 news at TechNave.com.
