Intel has announced its development of the Xeon 6 processor. A so-called AI chip designed for data centres, the new semiconductor succeeds the Xeon 5 released a mere six months ago. Intel said that its next-generation AI chip would be more energy-efficient and powerful than its predecessor. The announcement of the Xeon 6 at Taiwan’s Computex tech conference comes amid competing product releases from AMD and Nvidia, the latter of which announced its ‘Rubin’ chip on Sunday. Intel chief executive Pat Gelsinger, however, emphasised his company’s versatility across the entire chip supply chain compared to its rivals.
“Intel is one of the only companies in the world innovating across the full spectrum of the AI market opportunity – from semiconductor manufacturing to PC, network, edge and data centre systems,” said Gelsinger. “Our latest Xeon, Gaudi and Core Ultra platforms, combined with the power of our hardware and software ecosystem, are delivering the flexible, secure, sustainable and cost-effective solutions our customers need to maximise the immense opportunities ahead.”
