Intel Vision 2025: Intel Products Update (Highlights)
[Music] please welcome to the stage Chief Commercial Officer Kristoff Shell i'm super delighted to have you here uh in what is Intel's vision 2025 event you represent the Intel partnership the Intel ecosystem that is so important for our success and having you with us this week is super important for us it informs how we design our road map it informs how we will evolve from a go-to market point of view and we are doing all of this and I really want to make this clear with your success in mind yesterday you heard Li Buu that our work is not over that we have to continue to do a lot of hard work i think he was very clear about that this transformation that we are in is going to be continued but I really feel that last year we set ourselves up to be on the right path it is our number one job to make you successful everything we do starts and ends with you our customers we're laser focused in understanding your biggest challenges your needs but most important what are your opportunities then innovating our designs to ensure that we're delivering world-class products and solutions that help you accelerate your businesses i talk a lot with customers and I continue to be amazed at the incredible ideas and innovations that our customers come up with earlier this week I had an incredible opportunity to ride in a purpose-built autonomous vehicle created by Zuks so inside every Zuks is four Xeons and two uh networking cards and I rode in that for 50 minutes and just to give you an idea we had a jaywalker walk right in front of us we had somebody run a stop sign and we had somebody try to cut us off and the car handled it all really really well and it was really fun to be in this car and see our technology come to life with our customers hi Tyler welcome thanks for being here good to be here all right well Tyler and I actually met for the first time at Vision last year in Arizona um and you had an idea a dream that you wanted to bring to market that we talked about so maybe educate the audience a little bit on Ederunner that's right so what we're doing is we're building AI agents that live completely airgapped on device independent of the internet and what that means is we can build a better version of chat GBT that never needs the internet so your data is safe and secure but then more importantly it becomes hyperpersonalized to you and so for the military what we're doing is we're building domain specific AI for the war fighter talk a little bit about how Intel's helped you over the last year to reach this goal so Intel's been amazing and what I really like about about just the entire Intel ecosystem is they've been leaning in with our engineering team so what they do is they they they actually work with us and then what they do is they help us optimize our different agents so they can inference more more efficiently utilizing Intel's open veno toolkit as well as taking advantage of the latest architecture so we have a unique relationship we have a 360 relationship between soft and Intel can you talk a bit about that we do have that kind of relationships and uh yes we are Intel is our client we are Intel's client but probably more exciting it's that we have this partnership in which we uh together we bring solutions that accelerate AI transformation across Latin America and and the US that is exciting we use Intel's advanced technologies to drive our clients business forward intel's technology has enabled soft to deliver a variety of solutions including Freda can you share a bit more about Freda and the role it plays in delivering the solutions for your customers we have been leveraging specialized architecture from Intel through Gaudi AI accelerators and uh it is at the heart of Freda generative application engine that this help us significantly to accelerate most every aspect of software development life cycle erh some of the results are really really amazing up to 40% faster development cycles better code quality and a massive massive developer productivity boost we're talking about 35% improvements the Intel product group is focused on three key priorities to drive your success first and foremost winning in AIPCs and enabling you to capture the AI client opportunity from the edge to automotive to the PC and to the workstation second strengthening our data center capabilities across traditional data centers and workloads in order to help you maximize your existing investments such as refreshing to recapture space reducing power all while reducing your total cost of ownership and third we've got to continue to innovate in AI enabling the next generation of software and hardware while helping you futureproof critical infrastructure to leverage the power of AI through full stack solutions the commonality in all of these priorities is how we are designing and building technologies not just to meet your needs of today but to enable you to innovate further and more importantly to create the future everything we do in client is to deliver customers expectations so we can be successful together and the importance of our partnerships cannot be overstated our client portfolio this year is broader than any of our competitors featuring the breakthrough light battery life of Lunar Lake coupled with the performance of Aerolake in mobile and desktop form factors at CES we just launched our AIPC architecture into commercial extending our leadership with the most significant update to VRO technology in two decades there are thousands of Lunar Lake commercial VRO devices being deployed in large enterprise customers as we speak in addition to VRO software our AIPC software continues to expand with the broadest ISV ecosystem in the PC industry including hundreds of developers we again we have brought a new class of AI applications and features to run in our PCs the question now is how do you find these applications yesterday we launched a consumer AIPC app showcase making it simple for anyone to discover what apps are enabled on Intel AIPCs this is more than a list we have categorized them so you can choose the AI application to enhance your PC on how you want to use it in your way we'll have a commercial version of this showcase in just a few weeks available to enterprises well you know we're we're so glad to have you and thank you for building this partnership in building and testing these new use cases for IPC can you share a little bit behind your motivations so one program that we're running right now looks at the power of the neural processor on Intel AIPCs everything from ondevice coding assistance to help our developers to IT help desk tier one support applications that run locally and then we're also working with you on our multi- aent architecture um which is really going to help us accelerate daily workflow well that's amazing what impresses me the most is you've taken and made the complex simple so you can now take on the next set of complex tasks so looking forward what's next well we see AIPCs as really a cornerstone of our workforce transformation journey just like the multi- aent architecture that I mentioned there's this need for more advanced computing at the edge which is going to creep growing unlock greater potential for improving workflow so we see AI PCs as a cornerstone of that we're going to continue investing for innovation for efficiency and to deliver value i'm personally excited about Panther Lake because it combines the power efficiency of Lunar Lake the performance of Aerrol Lake and is built to scale 18A and is on track for production later this year our client roadmap is the most innovative we've ever had and we are far from done we're continuing to invest and build revolutionary technology that will one reshape consumer experiences two meet enterprise needs and ignite industry transformations intel's full stack AI strategy combines x86 CPUs and accelerators supporting diverse workloads with software compatibility and hardware reliability it's a three-pillar approach this includes Zeon for general compute AI Gaudi for AI acceleration and custom x86 chips for specialized needs data center demands are changing lower power reduced cost and a smaller infrastructure footprint are critical without sacrificing performance we are committed to returning to our customer first co-engineering ethos to meet those challenges and we are committed to being a better listener our Xeon 6 portfolio is a step in the right direction delivering industry-leading performance for the broadest set of workloads including up to 40% higher performance than the previous generation up to 50% lower TCO while maintaining superior performance up to 50% better AI inference with onethird fewer cores than the competition hi Sunonny and Luke wonderful to have you with us here i see you brought a system with you but before we dive in can you explain what you both do in your own words thank you i'm a federal chief meteorologist specializing in analyzing weather patterns that impact critical infrastructure and emergency preparedness across the nation thanks for having us i'm the CEO of Kamiwaza our AI orchestration engine helps customers automate the process of unlocking insights from their data using the latest AI models and techniques eliminating barriers to AI adoption like vendor lock in and data security concerns we deployed our platform in collaboration with our partners from government acquisitions on Intel Gaudy 3 and Xeon 6 from performance and energy efficiency was paramount our AI agents autonomously process historical Genpack weather data utilizing NCP machine context protocol and browser use then the agent converts it into modern parquet format which loads the data into the system for retrieval augmented generation capabilities sunonny can you talk about the benefits you have seen from using the Kamiwaza technology yeah absolutely so initially given our focus on the environment efficiency was extremely important to us in selecting an AI solution when Luke and Kamiwaza showed us Intel's capabilities we knew we could get the energy and water efficiency that we needed then using this system we were able to analyze historic weather patterns and predict their impacts on critical infrastructure and emergency response capabilities and share that with our field teams we will continue to listen to your needs and work together to solve real challenges and problems those problems as we saw as an example and we want to exceed your expectation we have to build distributed scale out architectures for AI that makes it possible to deploy AI everywhere and makes intelligence accessible to everyone that's going to be our mission we need to talk to you listen to you on how do we work with all of you to make that happen so I want to start with Gordi3 AI accelerators these are already in the market and we designed them with a systems first approach so Gordi3 is not a general purpose GPU it is not meant to address all your workloads but it was really designed to address some of the most important workloads for you which is around inference and fine-tuning and how do we make sure that we can deliver that with great performance and cost efficiency and what I want to talk about next is how we are actually making this translate to business outcomes it's not just models models don't deliver business outcomes you need applications you need solutions that actually deliver those business outcomes for all of you so we are collaborating with our partners like inflection AI to create enterprisegrade AI systems powered by GI and delivered through the Intel Tyber AI cloud welcome Ted so wanted to start with asking you to tell us about what Inflection AI is doing how your solution is actually bringing secure cost effective customized AI solutions to the enterprise yeah thank you Sajin well we've heard a lot this morning about small AI ai running on your AI laptop AI on the edge AI in the car uh what we're talking about now is scale AI so an AI that is specifically configured to serve 10,000 or 100,000 employees and so uh scaling AI you need to really focus on that efficiency and that's why we've worked really closely with Intel's engineers to optimize every single aspect of the way the pipelines and the inference runs on Gaudy hardware what has your experience been working with our engineering teams so first of all it's been a fantastic partnership and thank you so much for that because we couldn't gotten there on our own and I think we've made a huge contribution as well our engineers have helped move uh pietorrch libraries we've helped uh think through some Habana efficiencies um so there's very low-level work that gets done here but there's also high level work that gets done because I think at the end of the day one of the most important efficiencies that we want to talk about is actually how do we make your workforce more efficient uh and our goal is that uh you know your dollar spent on AI is $100 worth of value uh or more for your employees and this era of customized inference and enterprise AI agents really tells you that inference is going to be that payoff for all of those AI investments and as the world starts adopting agentic AI we are going to need to change enterprise workflows how we actually run most of the common things we do in our day-to-day and that means that we need to have AI infused in all the products that you use right it can't just be in a data center we need to offer different modes and sizes of compute capability to meet a range of these needs because agents are going to be running on your laptops on your desktops on your phones in your private data centers and in the public cloud so in that context we are making sure that we can infuse cost effective power efficient AI capability in our entire portfolio i want to turn the page now and talk a little bit more about great products but great products in a context of foundry and so I refer to it as a startup within Intel there's a whole different team that is working on that and from a go-to market point of view Intel foundry services led by my colleague Kevin O'Buckley our Intel foundry business today is in the midst of a major transition and exactly as you said that transition is driven by the fact that we're moving from serving a customer of one Intel products to a customer of many you know our our plan now is to essentially serve our foundry technologies to the entire industry of of fabous companies so to do so we're transforming to develop a very customer ccentric culture and that de that changes things like how we even develop our technologies the capital intensity we have where we're going to put our capital in the ground how quickly we need to ramp our manufacturing lines and so obviously as we look at all that you have to offer from packaging to different nodes there's one nodes that stands out and that's 18 and that's where you and I are spending a lot of time qualifying opportunity qualifying funnel but then also converting and how's that going and I'm very happy today to use this forum to announce that based on the hardware that we've delivered to our customers we're now ready to announce that we've entered into what we call the risk production phase do we have to be concerned about that yeah that sounds scary uh I promise risk production while it sounds scary is actually an industry standard terminology and the importance of risk reduction is we've gotten the technology to a point where we're freezing it our customers have validated that yep 18A is good enough for for my product and what we have to do now the risk part is to scale it from making hundreds of units per day to thousands to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands you probably all know F5 as an application delivery and uh security leader and they are operating on the Azure cloud platform we have been sitting together with F5 and with Azure and we talked about how to differentiate the partnership that Intel has with both companies and bringing that together in a partnership where three companies are teaming up the idea was to give customers of F5 more choice when it comes to cloud hybrid onrem and security and we wanted to be able to offer that in a very consistent way across the enterprise customers that we have consequently we then decided to do something that Intel has never done before we decided to become an Intel managed service provider with Azure so we're not just deploying the tech behind the in the Azure infrastructure we are now becoming a go-tomarket partner to also resell if you want that infrastructure to targeted customers together with F5 we've partnered since the the early days of a PC on every desk and in every home yeah uh we've seen the uh client server internet now we've got cloud and we've got AI so it's a natural progression of the partnership there but as you think about the innovation from the silicon up to the cloud we can really optimize complete systems for customers and also our ISP partners like F5 as well to ensure that our partner ecosystem can leverage that innovation and provide great solutions to customers as well what I'm really excited about in terms of what this partnership represents when you combine the best of Intel the best of Microsoft with Azure and of course with F5 is that it opens up this opportunity to meet customers where they are one thing that you may or may not know about is EngineX enginex is one of the world's most popular softwarebased ingress controllers and what we heard loud and clear from our customers was to be able to uh deploy that inside of a cloud-based environment like Azure and to do it in a simple way and that's what we ended up crafting and being able to support large financial services organizations and many others seamlessly and the best part about it is that all of this runs exclusively on Intel i think what you can expect from us in 2025 is you will get a really focused Intel and I think I really want to underline this again what Lioo said yesterday as well we have work to do we know that we started the work couple of years ago already but it takes a village and it takes time second we're really invested in your success that's very important so please be brutally honest with us the feedback that you want to provide please provide it please compare us to competition please tell us what you require from us to be successful thirdly you can rely on us to manufacture and to design world-class products that's you know the DNA that Intel was founded on you can also rely on the fact that that will be done in an open standard mindset i think that's the other thing that differentiates us and we know that we have work ahead of us and that there will be transformation but you can also rely that these three things are our foundation that we will not waver from [Music]
