Intel officially launched its Gaudi 3 processor at the Vision 2024 conference, designed to accelerate enterprise generative artificial intelligence (genAI) workloads. Alongside this, Intel revealed a host of new products and partnerships to drive genAI adoption.
Intel’s approach encompasses both hardware and cloud services, spanning from data centers to edge devices, including AI-enabled PCs.
During the event, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger emphasized the AI era, introducing a new family of Intel Core Ultra processors for PCs. The company aims to ship 40 million AI PC processors in 2024 and 100 million the following year.
Last December, Intel teased the Gaudi 3 processor for data center AI tasks, as well as the upcoming 14th-Gen Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” and 5th-Gen Xeon Scalable CPUs. The official announcements for the latter two processors were made at the conference.
Intel also revealed that the next-gen Granite Ridge and Sierra Forest processors will be known as “Xeon 6,” moving away from the older generational naming convention.

The new Xeon 6 processors will feature software support for the MXFP4 data format, significantly reducing latency compared to previous generations and enabling the operation of large language models like Llama-2 with 70 billion parameters.
