Intel, Google step up cooperation on AI, cloud infrastructure
Intel and Google have formalised a multi-year cooperation to build next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure, the companies said on Thursday. They will strengthen the roles of CPUs and application-specific integrated circuit-based infrastructure processing units as heterogeneous AI systems expand. The partnership also aims to improve performance, energy efficiency and total cost of ownership across Google’s global infrastructure over multiple generations of Xeon processors, and to expand joint development of ASIC-based IPUs.
