Intel’s Dream Coming True

When Pat Gelsinger rejoined Intel after 12 long years as the CEO of the company in 2021, he had set some lofty goals for the company: producing five new process technology nodes in just four years. Two years later, in Intel’s flagship event “AI Everywhere,” he announced two new nodes — Intel Core Ultra and Intel Xeon Processors. The remaining three — Intel 3, Intel 20A and Intel 18A — will be coming next year. The nearly-impossible goal which Gelsinger set for himself and the company was finally achieved, way ahead of the stipulated time.

The chip maker is not going to stop here and has big plans for the future. It’s planning to get into the GPU market as well. 

During Intel’s recent conference call, Gelsinger affirmed the on-track progress of their Gaudi AI accelerator roadmap, with Gaudi3 in packaging and set for launch in 2024, featuring a 5nm chip. Gaudi3 promises significant improvements, including up to 4 times BFloat16 capabilities, double the compute power, 1.5 times network bandwidth, and a 1.5 times increase in HBM capacities.
