内容总结:
英特尔宣布进军GPU市场,以追赶英伟达在该领域的领先地位。在近日举行的思科人工智能峰会上,英特尔CEO林博文透露,公司将开始生产图形处理器(GPU)。与传统CPU不同,GPU在游戏和人工智能模型训练等领域具有专业优势。
据悉,该项目将由英特尔数据中心事业部执行副总裁兼总经理科克·凯奇奇安领导,他于去年9月加入公司。今年1月,英特尔还招募了在高通拥有13年资深经验的工程高级副总裁埃里克·德默斯参与该项目。林博文表示,该项目仍处于早期阶段,公司将根据客户需求制定具体发展战略。
尽管GPU并非由英伟达发明,但该公司凭借先进的AI系统专用GPU占据了市场主导地位。此次进军GPU领域,标志着英特尔在去年宣布聚焦核心业务后,正向更广泛的半导体市场拓展关键一步。

英特尔正持续努力扭转颓势,其首席执行官承诺公司将开始生产一种新型芯片——这种芯片正是竞争对手英伟达赖以成名的产品。
在周二举行的思科人工智能峰会上,英特尔首席执行官陈立武宣布公司将开始生产图形处理器。相较于英特尔传统生产的中央处理器,这类专用处理器主要用于游戏和训练人工智能模型等任务。
TechCrunch已联系英特尔获取更多信息。
据路透社报道,该项目将由英特尔数据中心事业部执行副总裁兼总经理凯沃尔克·凯奇基安负责监督。凯奇基安是去年九月公司大规模招聘工程师时加入的。
英特尔今年一月还聘请了埃里克·德默斯参与该项目。德默斯此前在高通工作超过十三年,离职前担任工程高级副总裁。
该项目似乎仍处于相对早期阶段,陈立武表示公司将根据客户需求制定发展战略。
虽然英伟达并非图形处理器的发明者,但这类芯片在其成功中扮演了关键角色。其人工智能系统专用图形处理器技术先进且广受欢迎,使这家芯片制造商目前占据着市场主导地位。

As Intel continues to try to turn itself around, its CEO promised that the company will start producing a new type of chip, one that has been made very popular by rival Nvidia.
At the Cisco AI Summit on Tuesday, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced that the company will start producing graphics processing units (GPUs). These are more specialized processors, compared to the CPUs Intel traditionally produces, and are used for gaming and tasks like training artificial intelligence models.
TechCrunch reached out to Intel for more information.
The project will be overseen by Kevork Kechichian, the executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s data center group, according to reporting from Reuters. Kechichian was hired in September among a slew of new engineer-focused hires.
Intel also hired Eric Demers for the effort in January. Demers was previously at Qualcomm for more than 13 years, most recently serving as a senior vice president of engineering.
This initiative seems to be in relatively early stages as Tan said the company plans to develop its strategy around customer demands and needs.
While Nvidia didn’t invent the GPU, that specific kind of chip has played a large role in its success. Its GPUs for AI systems are so advanced and popular, the chipmaker currently holds a commanding market lead.

It’s interesting to see Intel expand into this area now as Tan said the company would be consolidating and focusing on its core businesses when he took the helm as CEO last March. While GPUs are still semiconductors, of course, this is still a notable expansion.
