More than 500 AI Models Run Optimized on Intel Core Ultra Processors
May 01 2024 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
Intel builds the PC industry’s most robust
AI PC toolchain and presents an AI software foundation that
developers can trust.
What’s New: Today, Intel announced it surpassed 500 AI
models running optimized on new Intel® Core™ Ultra processors – the
industry’s premier AI PC processor available in the market today,
featuring new AI experiences, immersive graphics and optimal
battery life. This significant milestone is a result of Intel’s
investment in client AI, the AI PC transformation, framework
optimizations and AI tools including OpenVINO™ toolkit. The 500
models, which can be deployed across the central processing unit
(CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU) and neural processing unit
(NPU), are available across popular industry sources, including
OpenVINO Model Zoo, Hugging Face, ONNX Model Zoo and PyTorch. The
models draw from categories of local AI inferencing, including
large language, diffusion, super resolution, object detection,
image classification/segmentation, computer vision and others.

“Intel has a rich history of working with the
ecosystem to bring AI applications to client devices, and today we
celebrate another strong chapter in the heritage of client AI by
surpassing 500 pre-trained AI models running optimized on Intel
Core Ultra processors. This unmatched selection reflects our
commitment to building not only the PC industry’s most robust
toolchain for AI developers, but a rock-solid foundation AI
software users can implicitly trust.” –Robert Hallock, Intel vice
president and general manager of AI and technical marketing in the
Client Computing Group
Why It Matters: Surpassing 500 AI models is a landmark
moment for Intel’s efforts to nurture and support the AI PC
transformation. Not only is the Intel Core Ultra processor the
fastest-growing AI PC processor to date — selling more units in a
single quarter than competing processors in all of 2023 — it is
also the most robust platform for AI PC development, with more AI
models, frameworks and runtimes enabled than any other processor
vendor.
Models form the backbone of AI-enhanced software features like
object removal, image super resolution or text summarization. There
is a direct link between the number of enabled/optimized models and
the breadth of user-facing AI features that can be brought to
market. Without a model, the feature cannot be designed. Without
runtime optimization, the feature cannot reach its best
performance.
How AI Models Work: AI models are one of many critical
layers in the software stack that determine the ultimate
performance, stability and capabilities of an AI-driven
application. AI models are trained to analyze large quantities of
data, draw conclusions and take actions based on such inferences.
Developers creating new AI PC features can utilize these models and
build on them. The more AI models there are, the more AI PC
features are enabled.
AI models can act on text, speech, audio, images and other
audiovisual sources common to the PC experience. AI models form the
foundation of AI-enhanced features developed for users to enjoy,
such as automatic text summarization, reducing energy consumption
during teleconferencing or removing unwanted objects from a
picture. OpenVINO optimizes for Intel Core Ultra by load-balancing
across all the compute units, compressing the models to run
efficiently in an AI PC, and optimizing the runtime to take
advantage of memory bandwidth and core architecture within Intel
Core Ultra.
Continuous efforts to enable an unmatched set of
high-performance models on Intel Core Ultra offer a wide field of
innovation for software developers and simplifies the delivery of
AI PC applications and features to users.
