Mint Explainer: Why Intel is betting on siliconomy, AI-enabled PCs

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence has transformed Nvidia's graphics processing units, or GPUs, into one of the hottest technology assets in the world, pushing the company's market capitalization to more than $1 trillion. Intel is The company has already demonstrated its intent to push Moore’s Law forward with new materials and new packaging technologies such as glass substrates which, when released in the "second half of this decade", will allow for continued scaling of transistors on a package to help meet the need for data-intensive, high-performance workloads like AI and "keep Moore’s Law going well beyond 2030". View Full Image Intel has demonstrated its intent to push Moore’s Law forward with new materials and new packaging technologies such as glass substrates According to Intel, glass offers distinctive properties such as "ultra-low flatness and better thermal and mechanical stability, resulting in much higher interconnect density in a substrate". Intel is also committed “to addressing every phase of the AI continuum," according to Gelsinger, who added that this includes generative AI and large language models. The new AI PCs will sport Intel Core Ultra processors, code-named Meteor Lake, featuring Intel’s first integrated neural processing unit "for power-efficient AI acceleration and local inference on the PC".
