MWC 2024: They launch a platform for companies that promotes artificial intelligence

These are days of effervescence in the techno world. In Barcelona, ​​Spain, nearly 100 thousand people gather at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the fair where what’s to come is previewed.

They are businessmen, technology enthusiasts and specialized journalists who have come to Catalonia from all over the world. There are hundreds of prototypes and rooms where talks are offered.

One of those that stands out is Intel, where it announced Edge Platform, a software platform modular and open that enables businesses to develop, deploy, run and manage large-scale applications and artificial intelligence (AI) with the simplicity of the cloud. The beauty of this is that with these capabilities they seek to accelerate large-scale deployment times for enterprises.

Edge is a type of computing architecture that seeks data processing, analysis, and storage closest to where they are generated. Therefore, Intel aims to simplify the development, deployment and management of AI applications, through open standards.

The company noted that it has more than 90,000 ways to deploy Edge, helping its customers “quickly and efficiently” leverage the AI ​​opportunity.

“The amount of computation that happens on the perimeter It’s growing rapidly because that’s where the data is generated. Additionally, many edge computing implementations incorporate artificial intelligence. At the cutting edge, companies need to automate for a variety of reasons: achieving price competitiveness, alleviating the effects of labor shortages, driving innovation, increasing efficiency, improving time to market, and offering new services,” the company said in a statement.

The big advantage of this platform is that it is “open and modular and will enable ready-to-use solutions across all industries,” they added.

The processors that arrive

On the other hand, the company announced the new Xeon Granite Rapids-D and Xeon Sierra Forest enterprise processors.

For operators, the company introduced its upcoming next-generation Intel Xeon processor, Sierra Forest, which will launch later this year. will offer up to 288 cores efficient (E-core) on a single chip. It is designed for 5G core workloads to improve network core performance and save power. By using Intel’s latest E-core technology, operators will achieve greater energy and cost savings.

The matter is very different with the Granite model, which is developed with the latest generation of P cores. “This future processor will deliver significant improvements in performance and power efficiency through enhanced Intel AVX for vRAN and integrated Intel vRAN Boost acceleration, along with other architectural and feature enhancements,” the company said . It is estimated that it will be on the market next year.

With the mobile phone market slowing in recent years due to a lack of impactful news, this edition of the MWC comes at a time when the sector hopes to begin its comeback driven by the development of artificial intelligence and 5G networks.
