For those who still have doubts about the future of artificial intelligence, Intel and Microsoft played in an announcement today that should be seen as a huge boost and further confirmation that this technology is here to stay. It is true, yes, that there may be minor or major adjustments that will affect the level of presence of AI in our lives, but what we cannot doubt is that it will not go where it came from.

How do you know, Microsoft Build 2023 is happening these daysevent in Redmond aimed mainly at developers, in which artificial intelligence plays a huge role, as we told you yesterday when the company presented Windows Copilot, an assistant based on artificial intelligence that will begin to be integrated into Windows 11 from next month, and this requires a lot of of what the company has already learned with the new Bing.

Well, the company had another big announcement in store, albeit this one not only part of their own engineering teams, but working with Intel, another major technology giant, with whom it has maintained close cooperation for decades, making the Wintel platform (Windows + Intel) the standard in desktop computing. And now both companies are stepping up their commitment to artificial intelligence.

So as we can read in the official announcement of the technology, Intel and Microsoft bring AI computing to PCs with Meteor Lake, the future generation of processors from Intel. To this end, Intel will use the 14th generation Intel Core chiplet design (if not rename it, as has been rumored for some time) to integrate the VPU (Vision Processing Unit for its abbreviation in English). combined with AI accelerators on CPUs and GPUs, it will enable desktop systems to perform operations previously reserved for systems with higher computing capacity, such as workstations, jobs and servers.

Intel’s communication specifically mentions thow certain Adobe Premiere Pro tasks such as its machine learning capabilities, two fields in which many users can gain a lot. But the technology company also talks about a long-term, several-year plan, which leads us to believe that in future iterations of corporate processors for the PC market we will see interesting news in this regard. And since it is mentioned in connection with the collaboration with Microsoft, we can expect that these will have a very direct application in the products and services of those from Redmond.

This completely breaks with the current paradigm, in which AI-based services have already reached users, but are generally run on the infrastructures of the companies that offer them. If a computer is able to perform certain AI computational operations autonomously, the potential of artificial intelligence will grow exponentially as it will no longer be dependent on system connectivity and external systems.
