FeatureIntel is at the forefront of developing new semiconductor technologies, products, and solutions as building blocks for an increasingly smart and connected world across a broad spectrum of markets.
Furthermore, to address and meet the new digital world, Intel has expanded its product offerings to provide end-to-end solutions, scaling from edge computing to 5G network, cloud, and the emerging fields of AI and autonomous driving.
Intel’s long-standing history as an industry leader for more than five decades aims to create world-changing technology, thus enabling global progress and enriching lives. Built on years of experience and expertise, the company’s advanced test and packaging technologies are unmatched.
Next-generation client products include Raptor Lake, Meteor Lake built on Intel 4
Intel plans to become the number one provider of accelerated compute through graphics, GPU and HPC and become the number two foundry provider this decade. In addition, the company continuously works to advance the design and manufacturing of semiconductors to help address the greatest supply-chain challenges.
Intel is the only company with the depth and breadth of software, silicon, platforms, and packaging to process manufacturing chips at-scale with its internal foundry, giving the company a key competitive advantage that enables product optimisation and innovation and to serve customers globally.
Under the leadership of CEO Pat Gelsinger, Intel launched a torrid pace of innovation and execution model and plans to launch five process nodes in the next four years. In addition, the company also plans to introduce Intel 4, followed by Intel 3, in 2023.
Earlier this year, the company shared details on its product and process technology roadmaps across its major business units and key execution milestones, including:
The Datacentre and AI business unveiled its roadmap for next-gen Intel Xeon products from 2022 to 2024, including Sapphire Rapids on Intel 7, bringing its most feature-rich Xeon to market with significant performance improvements across a range of workloads; Emerald Rapids – the next-generation Xeon processor on the Intel 7 process node with improved performance and extension of the memory and security benefits from the existing platform; Sierra Forest – a revolutionary new E-core-based Xeon processor will be launched in 2024.
Future generations of Xeon will have a dual-track roadmap of products based on Performance-cores and Efficient-cores, moving from two optimised platforms into one common, industry-defining platform; and Granite Rapids – the next-generation P-core Xeon product will be updated and launched in 2024, reinforcing the company’s confidence in the health of the Intel 3 process node.
Next-generation client products include Raptor Lake; Meteor Lake built on Intel 4; Arrow Lake – the first Intel product using Intel 20A tiles, as well as tiles made using an external process. All these products will offer a huge step forward on XPU improvement, with integrated AI and tiled GPU architecture that provide discreet graphics-class performance. Meteor Lake will ship in 2023 and Arrow Lake will follow in 2024. In 2024, the company will enter the Angstrom era, with an objective to move from Nanometre to Angstrom.
