Intel’s 5th generation Intel? Xeon? Scalable Processors Will Enable Optimized AI Performance on a PC


By Chuck Brooks? #IntelAmbassador?

With new innovations to enhance performance and efficiency, Intel introduced its 5th generation Intel? Xeon? Scalable processors earlier this month. The 5th Gen processors will bring a combination of performance improvements and faster memory, while not having to increase the amount of power required to run.

The 5th generation Intel Xeon processor family will result in a notable improvement in both performance and efficiency. These processors will allow for 36% greater average performance per watt across a range of customer workloads and deliver a 21% average performance boost for general computation performance when compared to the previous generation of Xeon processors. Xeon is the only mainstream data center processor with built-in AI acceleration, and with the new 5th Gen Xeon it will deliver up to 42% higher inference and fine-tuning on models as large as 20 billion parameters.?

That optimized performance was echoed by leading companies testing the processors. IBM revealed that 5th generation Intel Xeon processors outperformed prior generation Xeon processors by up to 2.7x in terms of query throughput on the Watsonx.data platform. Google Cloud, which plans to roll out 5th Gen Xeon next year, said that by leveraging the built-in acceleration in 4th Gen Xeon through Google Cloud, Palo Alto Networks was able to double the performance of its threat detection deep learning models. The 5th generation processors will have an even greater impact.

But for me, the most exciting development is how Intel’s new 5th Gen processors will impact the functioning of artificial intelligence (AI) programs and applications on a PC.? The processors with built-in AI at the core will enable enterprise acceleration and deliver big performance improvements for every conceivable AI workload. It will give developers, clients, and data scientists the freedom and choice to propel AI innovation at scale. That is a vital cog to catalyze AI PCs that will propel innovation in our current and future economies.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger succinctly described that potential. He said that “AI will fundamentally transform, reshape, and restructure the PC experience – unleashing personal productivity and creativity through the power of the cloud and PC working together.” He also noted, "For developers, this creates massive societal and business opportunities to push the boundaries of what’s possible, to create solutions to the world’s biggest challenges, and to improve the life of every person on the planet.”

There is little doubt that generative AI models have enormous potential to change how people live and work. I have already started experimenting with a wide range of AI applications, just like a lot of other people in the IT and cybersecurity areas. Now with the power, speed, and capacity of Intel’s 5th generation processors, we all can be creators with our PCs. You will not need to rely on cloud data centers for processing power to execute ChatGPT-style generative AI technologies on a laptop.

And that capability is not limited to any specific industry, it can be used for enhanced AI designs, simulations, and analytics for addressing challenges in transportation, health, education, finance, energy, and of course security.

For any business, large, medium, or small, Intel’s AI-enabling processors can be used to bring heightened performance, automate knowledge work processes, and improve productivity. ?Additionally, businesses can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for key workloads, which is important for any commercial operation's bottom line.

This is especially important as a new report by McKinsey estimates that the impact of generative AI applications by business functions could increase sales productivity by 3-5% of current global sales expenditures. In fact, across 63 use cases, generative AI has the potential to generate $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in value across industries.

The wealth of applications mentioned in this infographic from the McKinsey report is equally as impressive as the economic possibilities. These many applications described across industries can be optimized for performance by 5th Gen processors.

?Intel's guiding goal is to make AI ubiquitous by supporting open ecosystems, providing highly designed platforms, and offering safe solutions. They are at the initial stages of the AI digital-powered economy but having PCs equipped with the 5th Gen processors will provide businesses with both a head start and a competitive edge.
