Podcast: Intel Doubles Down on Artificial Intelligence - insideHPC

In this Chip Chat podcast, Diane Bryant, EVP/GM for the Data Center Group at Intel, discusses how the company is driving the future of artificial intelligence by delivering breakthrough performance from best-in-class silicon, democratizing access to technology, and fostering beneficial uses of AI. Bryant also outlines her vision for AI's ability to fundamentally transform the way businesses operate and people engage with the world. At an AI event in November, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich shared how both the promise and complexities of AI require an extensive set of leading technologies to choose from and an ecosystem that can scale beyond early adopters. As algorithms become complex and required data sets grow, Krzanich said Intel has the assets and know-how required to drive this computing transformation. At the event, Bryant also announced that Intel expects the next generation of Intel Xeon Phi processors (code-named "Knights Mill") will deliver up to 4x better performance1 than the previous generation for deep learning and will be available in 2017.
