Intel and Altera Usher in New AI Capabilities for the Edge at Embedded World

Monday, April 8th, 2024

In a landmark announcement at Embedded World, Intel alongside its subsidiary Altera, unveiled a suite of edge-optimized processors, FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), and market-ready solutions, marking a significant stride in embedding artificial intelligence (AI) into the fabric of edge computing. These innovations are set to enhance AI’s reach across a multitude of sectors, including retail, healthcare, and industrial domains, thereby redefining the landscape of edge computing.

Dan Rodriguez, Intel’s Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Network and Edge Solutions Group, emphasized the transformative potential of these offerings, stating, “This next generation of Intel edge-optimized processors and discrete GPUs is a leap forward in empowering businesses to integrate AI seamlessly with compute, media, and graphics workloads.”

The newly introduced Intel® Core™ Ultra, Intel® Core™, and Intel Atom® processors, coupled with discrete Intel® Arc™ graphics processing units (GPUs), are engineered to propel innovation in AI, visual computing, and media processing. This leap forward promises to catalyze faster and more intelligent decision-making at the edge, emphasizing on-premise computing.

In particular, the Agilex™ 5 FPGAs are tailored for mid-range applications, boasting unparalleled performance per watt. These FPGAs, with AI integrated into their architecture, promise a new level of integration, low latency, and enhanced computing prowess, catering to intelligent edge applications.
