Intel unveils its AI roadmap, chips to rival Nvidia – Computerworld

To that end, Gelsinger also announced that the company’s next-generation Core Ultra client processor family (code-named Lunar Lake) will be launching later this year. The processors will have than 100 platform tera operations per second (TOPS) and more than 45 neural processing unit (NPU) TOPS for next-generation AI PCs.

“Intel’s on a mission to bring AI everywhere,” Gelsinger told a packed auditorium in Phoenix, Ariz. “I’m quite excited about the next platform. You know, before competitors shipped their first [AI] chips, we’re launching our second — the Lunar Lake with 3X the AI performance. And, the third generation is in [fabrication].”

Gelsinger compared AI-enabled PCs to Wi-Fi, saying the day will come when a PC without AI capabilities will be considered passé. “Microsoft Copilot, AI developers, Zoom and Teams summarization, translation, contextualization,” he said. “Every application is going through an AI makeover. You’re going to miss out. Simply put, it’s time to refresh your PCs.”
