Keynote at Computex 2024:
Intel Makes AI Possible Everywhere (Replay)
Watch Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger discuss how Intel technology is enabling game-changing AI solutions.
Intel is dedicated to driving AI potential for partners and customers, while also empowering open ecosystems. Intel is still at the forefront of driving the industry toward a sustainable and scalable future with its increased processing power, cutting-edge power efficiency, and affordable total cost of ownership.
Gelsinger gave a keynote address at the June 4–7 event in Taipei, Taiwan, where he introduced the Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Efficient-cores (E-cores), revealed the cost of the Intel® Gaudi® 2 and 3 AI accelerator kits, and unveiled the ground-breaking Lunar Lake client processor architecture—a ground-breaking design that expands the AI PC category even further.
Moon Lake
For its forthcoming Lunar Lake client computing processor, which was completely rebuilt to deliver industry-leading core and graphics performance with unparalleled AI, Intel unveiled the architecture specifics.
Compared to the previous generation, a new neural processing unit is up to 4 times quicker, allowing for equivalent advancements in generative AI. Moreover, performance in gaming and graphics is 1.5 times better with the new Xe2 graphics processing unit cores compared to the previous version.
Starting in the third quarter of 2024, Lunar Lake will power more than 80 new AI PC designs from more than 20 partners.

Intel Core 6
The Intel® Xeon® 6 family of processors, which comes with E-core and P-core variants, was introduced by Intel to handle a wide range of workloads and use cases, including scalable cloud-native apps and high-performance computation requirements for artificial intelligence.
The first member of the series, code-named Sierra Forest, is the Intel® Xeon® 6 CPU with efficient cores, making its debut at Computex 2024. When compared to 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® processors on media transcoding workloads, it offers a performance per watt boost of up to 2.6x and a rack-level performance gain of up to 4.2x.
Its high core density and remarkable performance also allow for rack-level consolidation of 3-to-1.
The third quarter of 2024 will see the release of Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores, which will provide increased performance for the most demanding applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing, image processing, and data analytics.
An Overview of Intel Xeon 6 Processors in 60 Seconds
Three key points concerning Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Efficient-cores (E-cores) are outlined in this one-minute summary. Known by the code name Sierra Forest, they were introduced on June 4, 2024, at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan.
Designed with E-cores, they enhance performance and reduce power consumption for applications that require high densities and scaling. The Intel Xeon 6 processors with Performance-cores (P-cores), code-named Granite Rapids, will shortly trail this initial member of the family. Workloads requiring additional computation, such AI and computer vision, will be supported. Intel Corporation is credited.

Intel Gaudi
The Intel Gaudi architecture gives customers the generative AI performance they seek with a price-performance advantage that provides choice and fast deployment time at lower total cost of operating.
At Computex, Intel announced that a standard AI kit including eight Intel Gaudi 2 accelerators with a universal baseboard (UBB) offered to system providers at $65,000 is estimated to be one-third the cost of comparable competitive platforms. A kit including eight Intel Gaudi 3 accelerators with a UBB will list at $125,000, estimated to be two-thirds the cost of comparable competitive platforms2.
Further, Intel announced six new system providers are expected to bring Intel Gaudi 3 systems to market. ASUS, Foxconn, Gigabyte, Inventec, Quanta and Wistron join Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and Supermicro with plans to offer Intel Gaudi 3 systems.
Intel Tech Tour
Just days before Computex, Intel hosted its third-annual Technology Tour in Taiwan, where global media and analysts received an in-depth look at Lunar Lake architecture as well as sessions on Xeon 6 and Gaudi accelerators. The two-day event included technical deep dives and keynotes from business and technical leaders from across Intel who are charged with bringing next-generation technologies to life.
