Intel unveils 14th Gen Core desktop processors and enters the automotive market
Tencent Digital News (Li Haidan) reported on January 10 that at the recent International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas, Intel focused on showing the latest progress in the field of PC and automobiles.
Intel has announced the new Intel ® Core ™ 14th Gen mobile and desktop processor series, including the new HX series of mobile processors and mainstream 65W and 35W desktop processors.
With the explosion of generative AI, AI has also made its way to the PC side. "AI PC" has also become the focus of many enterprises. Last year, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger shouted out the revolutionary concept of the PC in Silicon Valley - "AI PC". The Core Mobile Processor 1 series, led by Intel's Core 7 processor 150U, can be applied to high-performance mainstream thin and light laptops, accelerating the layout of "AI PCs".
Intel Core 14th Gen mobile processors, focusing on the high-end gaming market. Among them, the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, which is the flagship processor, has 24 cores and 32 threads, including 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores, and the maximum frequency can reach 5.8GHz, which is a certain improvement over the previous generation of Core processors.
The i7-14700HX processor has 50% more efficiency cores to 12 cores. In addition, the processor will support DDR5-5600 processors with a maximum capacity of 192GB, and will also support Intel XTU as well as Intel XMP technology.
In the automotive sector, Intel shared plans to expand its "AI Everywhere" strategy into the automotive market, including the acquisition of Silicon Mobility. The Company is a fabless chip and software company specializing in the design, development, and deployment of fabless automotive chips and software for smart electric vehicle energy management SoCs, co-invested by Cipio Partners and Capital-E.
At CES, Intel also unveiled a family of AI-enhanced software-defined automotive SoCs, and announced that Zeekr Automotive will be the first automaker to adopt this new SoC. Intel's new automotive system-on-chip offerings will feature the company's recently introduced AI PC technology to meet vehicle durability and performance requirements, said Jack Weast, head of Intel's automotive business. "Intel plans to compete with competitors by offering different types of automotive chips, from the lowest-priced models to the highest-end models, covering the entire product line of automakers," said Jack Weast.
In addition, Intel said that in order to drive the transition to electric vehicles and sustainable software-defined vehicles more smoothly, it is currently announcing the formation of a committee with SAE International to provide automotive standards for vehicle platform power management (J3311). Intel will serve as chair of the committee.
Currently, the members of the Standards Committee include representatives from Stellantis, HERE, and Monolithic Power Solutions (MPS). The committee is open to more industry players and expects to submit the first draft standard within 12 to 18 months.
