Below is a little description of all the tiles that make up Ponte Vecchio:
- Compute Tile: dense package of Xecores and is the heart of Ponte Vecchio
- Base Tile: connective tissue of Ponte Vecchio – it is a large die built on Intel 7 optimized for Foveros technology
- XeLink Tile: provides the connectivity between GPUs supporting eight links per tile
Ponte Vecchio will be released in 2022 for HPC and AI markets.
- Will the new architecture also play a role in smartphones, or will the focus remain on laptops for now?
Looking back at the past year, technology was at the heart of how we all communicated, worked, played, and coped through the pandemic. Enormous computing power proved crucial. Moving forward, we will face a massive demand for computing – potentially a 1,000x need by 2025, which is an x1,000 boost in four years in Moore’s Law to the power of five.
Our CEO, Pat Gelsinger, also an architect, stated at this year’s Architecture Day, “We face daunting compute challenges that can only be solved through revolutionary architectures and platforms. Our talented architects and engineers made possible all this technology magic.”
The world is counting on architects and engineers to solve the most difficult computational problems, to enrich people’s lives. Our strategy and execution are accelerating to meet these demands.
