Intel CEO Reveals Panther, Lunar, and Arrow Lake to Feature Big AI Performance Improvements
Jan. 29, 2024If the math is right, then next year, we will see a processor from Intel featuring6 timesthe AI performance of what we currently have with Core Ultra processors. Overall, Intel is hyperfocused on delivering innovative gains to the Neural Computing Unit (NPU) as part of the entire tech industry’s ever-increasing trend of artificial intelligence.
Apart From AI, I’m Hoping For More
Intel’s hybrid performance architecture has surely gotten better with Core Ultra. A new core type known as “Low Power E-Core” was introduced to work along with P-cores and E-cores. This makes the laptops of today last even longer. Thein-built Arc graphicsare now pretty featureful, performant enough for gaming, and were another big highlight of the latest Core Ultra chips. We are now even seeing portablegaming handheldscoming with this latest processor.
But, we are yet to seemajorperformance improvements in the CPU department. With Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake, Arrow Lake, and Panther Lake processors, I’d like to see big improvements to other aspects of the processor as well. AI is important, but I would like to see something outperformingAMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX3Din CPU-intensive gaming benchmarks.
By ‘AI performance,’ Intel should seek to increase performance across all the AI engines (GPU, NPU, and CPU). But given that the NPU is quite new, we will probably see bigger improvements here.
We recently covered next-generationXeon processorsbeing spotted in a Linux patch. With this statement from Intel’s CEO, it looks like the company is on track to launch Sierra Forest Xeon processors soon!
