Intel Launches AI-Based Core Ultra Chips

The new chips promise improved battery life and efficiency, marking a transition towards AI-powered PCs.

Intel's Core Ultra chips, formerly known as Meteor Lake, have launched and are already appearing in laptops. The chips are the first from Intel to be based around AI, with an on-board Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
Intel is making a major brand name change with the introduction of the Core Ultra chips, which are expected to improve battery life and overall efficiency of laptops.
Intel's new chips are built with the company's first 7nm process and a four-tile architecture that integrates a Compute Tile with E-cores and P-cores that are faster and more efficient.
Intel and AMD are shifting their focus to the total system TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), acknowledging that the CPU and GPU significantly contribute to these figures.
Intel is working with over 100 software developers to bring more AI-accelerated applications to market, signaling a transition towards AI-powered PCs.
