During Intel’s “AI Everywhere” event in New York City this week, the company unveiled new Core Ultra CPUs for laptops and the 5th-gen Xeon CPU for servers and data centers. Both offer enhanced AI capabilities, along with significant improvements in power efficiency and performance.
Core Ultra combines several new technologies into a single SoC – in fact, Intel claims it’s their biggest architectural leap in PC processors in about 40 years. The one change likely to get the most attention is the company’s first integration of an NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, into an SoC design.
