5G, AI, edge, and partnerships discussed at Intel's CES 2020 news conference

Intel CEO Bob Swan stepped on stage at CES 2020 and discussed the company's "big ambitions" for 5G network transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), new partnerships, and the 120 companies "on board [with Intel] driving innovations." Here's a closer look at some of the key topics revealed. Intel is advancing the partnership it announced with Netflix last year, for better streaming, lower bit-rates and smaller files, which don't compromise video quality. Last month, Intel acquired AI processor company Habana Labs, for training and inference. Navin Shenoy, Intel data platforms group executive vice president, said it will continue development of the Intel Xeon scalable processors with the "fastest ramping Xeon processor" in the company's history, featuring a 60% increase in training.
