Intel CEO Bob Swan kicked off today’s news conference by sharing
updates from its Mobileye business, including a demonstration of
its self-driving robocar navigating traffic in a natural manner.
The drive demonstrated Mobileye’s unique and innovative approach to
deliver safer mobility for all with a combination of artificial
intelligence, computer vision, the regulatory science model of RSS
and true redundancy through independent sensing systems.
Swan also highlighted Intel’s work with the American Red Cross
and its Missing Maps project to improve disaster preparedness.
Using integrated AI acceleration on 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon®
Scalable processors, Intel is helping the American Red Cross and
its Missing Maps project to build highly accurate maps with bridges
and roads for remote regions of the world, which helps emergency
responders in the event of a disaster.
“At Intel, our ambition is to help customers make the most of
technology inflections like AI, 5G and the intelligent edge so that
together we can enrich lives and shape the world for decades to
come. As we highlighted today, our drive to infuse intelligence
into every aspect of computing can have positive impact at
unprecedented scale,” Swan said.
Intelligence-Driven Mobile Computing
Mobile computing was an area of emphasis, as Intel made
announcements spanning new products, partnerships and exciting
platform-level innovations that will transform the way people
focus, create and engage. Intel Executive Vice President Gregory
Bryant announced the following:
- First look and demonstration of the
newest Intel® Core™ mobile processors, code-named “Tiger Lake”:
Tiger Lake is designed to bring Intel’s bold, people-led vision for
mobile computing to life, with groundbreaking advances in every
vector and experience that matters. With optimizations spanning the
CPU, AI accelerators and discrete-level integrated graphics based
on the new Intel Xe graphics architecture, Tiger Lake will deliver
double-digit performance gains1, massive AI performance
improvements, a huge leap in graphics performance and 4x the
throughput of USB 3 with the new integrated Thunderbolt 4. Built on
Intel’s 10nm+ process, the first Tiger Lake systems are expected to
ship this year.
- Preview of first
Xe-based discrete GPU: Intel Vice President of
Architecture for Graphics and Software Lisa Pearce provided insight
into the progress on the new Intel Xe graphics architecture, which
will provide huge performance gains in Tiger Lake, and previewed
Intel’s first Xe-based discrete GPU, code-named “DG1.”
- Significant updates on Intel’s
“Project Athena” innovation program, including the first Project
Athena-verified Chromebooks: Project Athena-verified designs
have been tuned, tested and verified to deliver fantastic
system-level innovation and benefits spanning battery life,
consistent responsiveness, instant wake, application compatibility
and more. Intel has verified 25 Project Athena designs to date, and
Bryant announced an expanded partnership with Google that has
already resulted in the first two Project Athena-verified
Chromebooks, the ASUS Chromebook Flip (C436) and the Samsung Galaxy
Chromebook. Intel expects to verify approximately 50 more designs
across Windows and Chrome this year and deliver a target
specification for dual-screen PCs.
- Form factor innovation, including
dual screens and a revolutionary foldable design: Through
deepened co-engineering efforts with OEM partners, Intel helps
deliver category-defining devices based on Intel Core processors.
This includes new dual-screen and foldable designs like the Lenovo
ThinkPad X1 Fold, which leverages the Intel Core processor with
Intel Hybrid Technology (code-named “Lakefield”) expected to ship
midyear, and the Dell Concept Duet. Bryant also previewed Intel’s
latest concept device, a foldable OLED display form factor,
code-named “Horseshoe Bend.” Based on Intel’s upcoming Tiger Lake
mobile processors, the design is similar in size to a 12-inch
laptop with a folding touchscreen display that can be opened up to
more than 17 inches.
Intelligence-Driven Business Transformation
The data center is the force that delivers intelligence to
businesses around the world and Intel Xeon Scalable processors
continue to be the foundation of the data center. Intel Executive
Vice President Navin Shenoy announced that 3rd Generation Intel
Xeon Scalable processors, coming in the first half of 2020, will
include new Intel® DL Boost extensions for built-in AI training
acceleration, providing up to a 60% increase in training
performance over the previous family.
Shenoy highlighted several ways Intel is threading intelligence
into data platforms across cloud, network and edge and how this is
transforming sports and entertainment:
- Netflix optimizes and accelerates
media streaming services: Netflix has utilized the latest video
compression technology, AV1, to enhance Netflix’s media streaming
services and bring content to life across the globe, with up to 60%
compression efficiency over the previous compression technology
(AVC). Intel’s and Netflix’s joint efforts continue with the
development of an open-source high-performance encoder (SVT-AV1),
optimized on 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, that delivers
significant quality and performance gains making it viable for
commercial deployment.
- Enhanced athlete and viewer
experiences at Tokyo 2020 with 3D Athlete Tracking: A
first-of-its-kind computer vision solution, 3D Athlete Tracking
(3DAT) uses AI to enhance the viewing experience with near
real-time insights and visualizations. 3DAT uses highly mobile
cameras to capture the form and motion of athletes, then applies
algorithms optimized with Intel DL Boost and powered by Intel Xeon
Scalable processors to analyze the biomechanics of athletes’
movements. Shenoy announced that this technology will enhance
replays of the 100-meter and other sprinting events at the Olympic
Games Tokyo 2020.
- Large-scale volumetric video
streaming: Intel and the sports industry are transforming the
sports viewing experience with volumetric video, an important
progression toward enabling sports viewing without limitations.
Intel® True View synthesizes the entire volume of the stadiums’
field to provide endless angles that allow fans to choose any
vantage point and player perspective and stream from their devices.
Intel and the NFL showcased the power of streaming volumetric video
with a play from Week 15’s Cleveland Browns-Arizona Cardinals game.
The data produced from the first quarter of an NFL game alone
reaches beyond 3TB per minute – an exponential increase requiring
tremendous computing power.
More information on all of these announcements, including visual
assets from the event, is available in the CES press kit on the
Intel Newsroom.
