Intel Unleashes New Toys for Computing at Innovation 2022

Semiconductor giant Intel has had a difficult year, with stagnant earnings amidst a downturn in chip demand for PCs and servers. But the company has not lost its zest for technology development. At its Intel Innovation 2022 Keynote session Tuesday, CEO Pat Gelsinger put aside whatever negative buzz has surrounded the company to announce a slew of new products aimed at high-speed computing on different platforms.

In his opening remarks, Gelsinger said Intel would “continue to be stewards of Moore’s Law,” with the expectation that as much as a trillion transistors could reside in a chip package by the end of the decade. Gelsinger added that Intel was fully committed to the emerging trend of chiplets and system-in-package solutions encompassing multiple chip functions. He hopes to achieve this goal through an open chiplet ecosystem, aided by partnering with companies such as TSMC and Samsung.

Gelsinger also reiterated Intel’s growing commitment to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, demonstrating with the aid of other Intel engineers how its OpenVINO™ Developer toolkit is helping fast food chain Chipotle develop an intelligent food management system to control the allocation of ingredients to make its various menu items and provide real-time information.
