Intel provided some details about how the dedicated AI processor in its upcoming MeteorLake chips work, and how they'll be used in the future.
Intel thinks your next processor upgrade should include a dedicated AI processor and its upcoming Meteor Lake chips conveniently fill that gap. The company detailed how it suspects its Vision Processing Units will be leveraged at Computex 2023, and it’s including these processors stock on every Meteor Lake chip.
Recommended Videos Intel’s idea is simple: move AI processing that’s already happening on the CPU and GPU off to a dedicated processor. According to Intel, over 100 apps are already leveraging AI on the CPU or GPU, including the Adobe suite, Microsoft Teams, Avid Pro Tools, xSplit, Zoom, and Unreal Engine. The dedicated VPU is not only more power-efficient for these tasks to save battery life, but they also allow you to run much more complex AI models.
With these effects, Intel says the VPU offers 10 times the AI computational power of running them on the CPU at only a fifth of the power. Although this efficiency is mostly focused on laptops, Intel made it a point to discuss power density with its VPU, with more efficient designs ultimately representing more peak performance. We could see more powerful dedicated AI processors if there are enough applications to leverage them.
In addition to providing more power to AI programs, Intel says the dedicated processor can improve overall performance. The company demonstrated this with Unreal Engine, where the VPU analyzed footage to create a mesh on a virtual avatar. This is normally handled by the GPU, so moving the task off to the VPU leaves the GPU open to handle other processing.
