During the Computex Taipei 2023 event, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a range of new products and services utilizing artificial intelligence technologies, including the DGX GH200, a supercomputer platform powered by AI that is expected to enable technology enterprises like Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet to develop advanced tools such as ChatGPT and beyond.
Additionally, Nvidia unveiled an advertising service in partnership with WPP Plc. that leverages metaverse and AI technologies to reduce the expenses associated with advertising production. Utilizing Nvidia’s Omniverse technology, WPP will create virtual models of real-world products, enabling cost-effective customization of advertisements without the need for expensive reshoots.
Furthermore, Nvidia is set to launch a gaming service called Nvidia ACE for Games, which utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance gaming experiences by providing background characters with unique personalities. Using generative AI, Nvidia ACE can process player inputs and generate more natural and authentic responses.
Through these recent developments, Nvidia aims to expand its role beyond that of a computer chip manufacturer and establish itself as a key participant in the artificial intelligence industry. With a near-record valuation reaching almost $1 trillion, the company is poised to meet the surging demand for data center chips capable of handling AI-based operations.
Intel has also recently unveiled details about its upcoming Meteor Lake processor platform, which is expected to be launched later this year and will feature Arc Graphics. This new line of Intel CPUs will prioritize artificial intelligence capabilities.
Intel’s 14th generation of CPUs will be the initial processors to incorporate the Intel 4 process and Foveros packaging utilizing a chipset design, where each constituent of the processor is constructed in a separate tile, resulting in enhanced power management for tailored workloads. The company is also preparing to launch a new GPU that will feature Arc graphics, specifically designed for integrated architectures, enabling Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) in low-power setups, alongside ray tracing operations.
Of notable significance, Intel intends to introduce a vision processing unit to the Meteor Lake platform, enabling specialized processors to effectively handle sustained AI-based workloads on local computers, surpassing the capabilities of GPUs and CPUs. With numerous platforms and applications being developed within Intel’s ecosystem, the company can utilize the benefits of AI to gain a competitive advantage over rivals such as Qualcomm, IBM, and Texas Instruments, among others.
