Intel's chief datacenter exec Navin Shenoy kicked off the company's Data-Centric Innovation Summit Wednesday, the day-long program devoted to Intel's datacenter strategy, encompassing a number of product and technology updates, including another 14nm Xeon kicker, called Cooper Lake. The headline-stealing announcement was Intel's chip business hitting $1 billion in artificial intelligence revenue in 2017. The bulk of that comes from inferencing workloads, Intel indicated, noting that FGPAs and IoT are not included in the total figure. The company sees that AI opportunity growing to $10 billion by 2022. "There's going to be a portion [of that total addressable market] that's strictly training and a portion that's strictly inference," said Intel's head of AI products Naveen Rao.
