Intel Announces New Initiatives for AI PC Developers and Hardware Vendors

Intel Launched its AI PC Acceleration Program in October 2023 to connect independent hardware and software vendors with company resources. On Tuesday, the company announced two more initiatives under the umbrella program. The first initiative is called the AI ​​PC Developer Program aimed at software developers, and a separate initiative for independent hardware vendors to be included in the program. The PC chip maker believes the program will enable developers to gain a better understanding of Intel’s ecosystem and better skills in developing tools for this era. AIPCs.

In a newsroom Post“We’ve made great strides with our AI PC acceleration program by working with the ecosystem,” said Carla Rodriguez, Intel’s vice president and general manager of client software ecosystem enablement. Today, AI PC With the addition of the Developer Program, we’re expanding our reach to go beyond the big ISVs and engage with small and mid-sized players and aspiring developers. We aim to offer a wide range of tools, including a developer kit ready for the new AI. By offering a seat, the experience is to run without friction.

This expansion of the company’s AIPC acceleration program will now focus on helping software developers easily adopt new AI technologies at scale. Intel Software will provide both developers and vendors with access to Intel Core Ultra processor-based tools, workflows, AI-deployment frameworks and developer kits.

Intel will help independent hardware vendors develop, optimize and enable their own hardware for the chipmaker’s AI PCs. Upon meeting its criteria, partners will be granted access to Intel’s Open Labs, which will provide technical and co-engineering support early in the development phase of their hardware solutions and platforms. The programs are designed as a learning ground and as a partnership with developers and hardware vendors to develop solutions for Intel.

The company claims that it has already enrolled 150 hardware vendors worldwide in the AIPC acceleration program. Interested persons can register on its website for more details and participation. Intel also highlighted that it plans to bring more than 300 AI-accelerated features to market with Intel Core Ultra processors in 230 designs from 12 global original equipment manufacturers by 2024.
