Barclays Technology Conference represented the interests of Intel Diane Bryant , who manages the data center sector, and the conversation at the event went on the prospects of development of server systems with Intel components.
Particular attention was paid to the topic of artificial intelligence. Ms Bryant explained that the term was born in 1956, but then forgot about it until about the seventies. Under the Intel AI urges to realize a computer system that is able to copy the behavior of person, to learn and to make predictions. The development of artificial intelligence systems, Intel has invested over the past five years, but this segment of the market is still in its infancy. By 2020, the volume of data processed by artificial intelligence systems will grow 12 times, as long as the proceeds from the sale of specialized components does not exceed 7% of the total revenue in the Intel server direction. The market is huge growth potential, as urged by the corporation's management.
Specialized boosters, developed originally from Nervana, which bought the company in August, Intel is going for the foreseeable future "addicted" to the CPUs of its own production. Much has been said and the active participation of Intel in the development of the fifth-generation communication standards, as well as specialized components. High-speed wireless network devices are needed for effective communication in the era of "internet of things".
Intel shares the view of the car manufacturers, who believe in their ability to present the machine with a fully independent "autopilot" by 2021. Nearly every automaker is interested in this topic, and Intel is already working with BMW, although the "behind the scenes" are other contracts for a billion dollars. As discusses Intel executive vice president, vehicle manufacturers need a technological partner, ready to offer the infrastructure for the operation of "smart" cars, and many of them turn to Intel, as the company is ready to offer effective integrated solutions.
