During the event AI Everywhere (AI everywhere, in free translation), held in New York City, the Intel launched the processors announced in September this year. 4b144b

After the rebranding carried out in June, the company is ready to launch computers that process artificial intelligence tasks locally and that do not require an internet connection, taking the name of AI PCs. See details about availability intel core ultra, the biggest update to the company's processors in the last forty years.

But more importantly, the 7-nanometer chips show that the Pat Gelsinger to reach Taiwanese TSMC, in of chip manufacturing capacity by 2026, will not be left behind.

Core Ultra chips also include more powerful gaming capabilities, powered by the integrated Intel Arc GPU, which can help programs like Adobe Premier run 40% faster. The company even confirmed that notebooks with Intel Core Ultra can now be purchased from today, December 14th, in the United States. See the special features it will bring to AI PCs.

The big difference between processors intel core ultra is that they have a neural processing unit (NPU) solely focused on carrying out artificial intelligence tasks. This will allow, in practice, AI to “live” on the computer, eliminating connectivity to cloud data centers.

The manufacturer highlighted that the AI ​​chip can deliver a new level of AI acceleration with energy efficiency, offering 2,5 times more than the previous generation. Its world-class GPU and leading U are also capable of accelerating AI solutions.

It is important to that the Copilot, the artificial assistance of Windows 11, already works integrated into the operating system of the Microsoft, but it still requires an internet connection to send the answers. Core Ultra still doesn't have the power to run a large language model, like ChaGPT, without being connected to the web. However, you can perform smaller tasks, directly on the notebook, making the 's life easier and using less battery in the process. 

In the example given by Intel at the event, features such as camera blurring during video calls on Zoom can be done directly by the chip. The Core Ultra line will be built using the company's 7-nanometer process, which is more power efficient than previous chips.

The chip developed just to run AI tools will not only allow for low power consumption and high quality by providing completely new PC experiences, but also the computer will not need to use graphics cards allocated to servers, with greater local performance so that , in the background, everything is sent to the cloud without problems.

the new processor core ultra is the first from Intel to the technology 3D Foveros, which allows the company to “mix and match” technology IP blocks with various memory and I/O elements – all in a small physical package for a significantly reduced board size. The artificial intelligence coprocessor can also be monitored and configured in the Task Manager of the Windows, so that owners can have a brief preview of performance. 

Low power consumption with high graphics power 6b3q3f

The question is: what will the energy consumption be like in notebooks, with so many activities happening simultaneously? The company's response is the new P-core Redwood Cove and the new E-core Crestmont. There is a low-power version of the Crestmont E-cores that will be used as a first landing spot for tasks assigned to the U. Crestmont E-cores are between 4% and 6% faster clock for clock. 

This SoC block offers Bluetooth 5.4 e WiFi 6E integrated, with for Wi-Fi 7. Low power consumption without loss of performance was also cited as one of the benefits of the new processor.

Thread Director 452i24

As the name suggests, the Thread Director works as a performance manager that allocates processing tasks to specific cores, according to demand. In this way, low-power cores (E-Cores) perform simple tasks, while more complex tasks are directed to performance cores (P-Cores). This already happened in the Raptor Lake generation, but with Intel Core Ultra, the process has been redesigned.

When a program starts running, the low-power cores will be assigned the task to ensure lower power consumption. Then everything is sent to the conventional E cores and then to the high-performance P cores.

In practice, applications and features will first run on “parts” of the processor that are less powerful, which leaves performance open to question.

Finally, the Intel stated that the graphics performance of its video cards intel arc was integrated into the new processor's dedicated GPU intel core ultra. At an event held in September, the company confirmed that it is twice as powerful as the last generation of graphics cards intel iris xe.

This same GPU has native for HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1 and 8K HDR video or up to four 4K displays at the same time. It also works with USB-C ports that follow the Thunderbolt 4 standard, used for both charging and video transmission/mirroring.

The company also claims that the depth ratio is improved by 6,6x and we can expect shadows and dark scenes to be seen in higher quality. Mainly in FPS games, but the improvement can be seen in various activities.

In relation to competitors such as Ryzen 7840U, AMD, the new processors have energy savings that can reach up to 79%. Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel, highlighted that “we are in the era of AI PC”, explaining how the first notebooks and data centers with Intel processors and designed to work with artificial intelligence technologies will make a difference in the global market.

AI innovation is poised to lift the impact of the digital economy to up to a third of global gross domestic product. Intel is developing technologies and solutions that empower customers to seamlessly integrate and effectively run AI across all of their applications – in the cloud and, increasingly, locally on the PC and at the edge, where data is generated and used.

Today's launch is precisely to meet this high demand. It was also highlighted that the line's processors intel core ultra will be aimed at ultra-light notebooks that are part of the platform Intel Evolution.

It was announced that more than 230 models of AI PCs with processors were developed intel core ultra. Among manufacturers, names such as Lenovo, Microsoft, HP, MSI, Dell, Samsung, ASUS and more well-known ones were cited. Some models are already being sold in the USA as of today.

An example is the line GalaxyBook4, which has already been announced in South Korea with new NVIDIA 40 series processors and dedicated graphics card (RTX 4050 or RTX 4070). The new ones Galaxy Book4 Ultra, Book4 Pro and Book4 360 also stand out for having a screen with a peak brightness of 400 nits and have Intel CoreUltra 7 ou Intel CoreUltra 9, in addition to 16-inch AMOLED screens with variable refresh rate from 48Hz to 120Hz. The three models announced today by Samsung They still did not have an expected arrival date in Brazil at the time of writing this article.

Despite the innovations, there is still no firm date for the first AI PCs to arrive in Brazil, but this should happen by the end of the first half of 2024. More information should be revealed in the coming months and the showmetech will update the article as information is released.
