Intel expands developer cloud to enable customers to try out new chips

Intel Corp. plans to expand the Intel Developer Cloud to allow customers to try a range of new chips before they hit the market, a move it hopes will lure more application developers to use its processors, the company said on Tuesday. "In some ways Intel is the biggest software company that you've never heard of," said Nick McKeown, who leads Intel’s Network and Edge group, adding that there are over 20,000 software developers at Intel. He said Intel is trying to make the developer cloud easier to use and also trying to hook the next generation of developers to make applications for Intel chips. Intel on Tuesday at its developer conference also unveiled its 13th-generation Intel Core desktop processor to help improve gaming experiences, and the Intel Geti platform to help customers develop and use AI for computer vision.
