Its Data Center and AI (DCAI) business posted a 39% decline in revenue to $3.7bn, while the Client Computing Group (CCG) posted a 38% decline, with revenue of $5.8bn. Its Network and Edge division reported revenue of $1.6bn, a 30% decline on last year. The two areas of growth for Intel were its foundry business, which grew by 24% to $118m, and Mobileye, which reported revenue of $458m, 16% up from last year.<\/p>\n<p>Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said: \u201cWe hit key execution milestones in our datacentre roadmap and demonstrated the health of the process technology underpinning it. While we remain cautious on the macroeconomic outlook, we are focused on what we can control as we deliver on IDM 2.0: driving consistent execution across process and product roadmaps, and advancing our foundry business to best position us to capitalise on the $1tn market opportunity ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The transcript of the earnings call, <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4597564-intel-corporation-intc-q1-2023-earnings-call-transcript\">posted on Seeking Alpha<\/a>, shows that Intel was affected by \u201ca conservative\u201d PC refresh rate.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the opportunity to reverse the decline in revenue experienced in its datacentre business, which provides the Xeon processors that power servers, Gelsinger described the business as being in a strong position. \u201cWe\u2019d say that some of that strength in the datacentre is driven by AI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the company\u2019s AI chip, Gaudi, which competes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchenterpriseai\/news\/252529066\/Nvidia-Intel-team-up-on-energy-efficient-AI-server\">Nvidia\u2019s A100 GPU<\/a> (graphics processing unit), Gelsinger said: \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a very positive response to Gaudi 2 and seeing our pipeline growing very rapidly for that product line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Gelsinger, demand for AI processing will also drive the adoption of the next generation of the company\u2019s Xeon processor, Gen 4 Sapphire Rapids. According to the company\u2019s official product literature, the Gen 4 Xeon processor has a 55% lower total cost of ownership when used for AI workloads, when compared with the previous generation of Xeon chips, as the same level of processing can be achieved with fewer fourth-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/365535529\/Google-researchers-identify-hole-in-Intel-TDX\">Intel Xeon servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gelsinger regards AI as \u201ccritical\u201d to the company\u2019s success in the datcentre business. The company\u2019s strategy is about \u201cdemocratising AI\u201d, he said, to offer a lower-cost alternative to what he describes as \u201csuper high-end machines\u201d, which, according to Gelsinger, are \u201cuneconomical for most environments\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>There are two parts to AI. The first is machine learning, which generally needs to be run on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchdatacenter\/news\/252527246\/HPEs-low-end-supercomputers-take-aim-at-the-AI-market\">high-performance machines<\/a> capable of number-crunching vast datasets to build a data model. The second half of AI is the inference part, where the data model is run to predict likely outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Gelsinger sees a huge opportunity for Intel powering inference workloads. \u201cWe have to enable the broad deployment of inferencing \u2013 being able to use AI \u2013 and that\u2019s an area where, particularly our core Xeon product line, has particular strengths well above prior generations and competitive alternatives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"DigDeeperSplash\">\n<h4>\n\t\t\t<i data-icon=\"m\"><\/i>Read more on Artificial intelligence, automation and robotics<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252529647\/Deci-claims-breakthrough-inference-performance-on-Intel-Sapphire-Rapids\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/ai_a264431831_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/ai_a264431831_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/ai_a264431831.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>Deci claims breakthrough inference performance on Intel Sapphire Rapids<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/computerweekly\/Aaron-Tan-CW.jpg\" alt=\"AaronTan\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Aaron\u00a0Tan<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchenterpriseai\/news\/252529066\/Nvidia-Intel-team-up-on-energy-efficient-AI-server\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/disaster_recovery_a379640336_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/disaster_recovery_a379640336_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/disaster_recovery_a379640336.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>Nvidia, Intel team up on energy efficient AI server<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/dataCenter-Virtualization\/scannell_ed.jpg\" alt=\"EdScannell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Ed\u00a0Scannell<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchcloudcomputing\/feature\/AWS-rolls-out-new-EC2-instances-at-reInvent-2022\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/customer_service01_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/customer_service01_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/customer_service01.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>AWS rolls out new EC2 instances at re:Invent 2022<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineImages\/casey_kathleen.jpg\" alt=\"KathleenCasey\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Kathleen\u00a0Casey<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a id=\"DigDeeperItem-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/searchsoftwarequality\/news\/252525502\/Intel-SDKs-give-developers-tools-for-AI-quantum-software\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/code_g1297696209_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/code_g1297696209_searchsitetablet_520X173.jpg 960w,https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineimages\/code_g1297696209.jpg 1280w\" alt ><\/p>\n<h5>Intel SDKs give developers tools for AI, quantum software<\/h5>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ttgtmedia.com\/rms\/onlineImages\/botelho_bridget.jpg\" alt=\"BridgetBotelho\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span>By: <span>Bridget\u00a0Botelho<\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/366535972\/Intel-results-reveal-a-push-to-address-AI-shortcomings\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Leigha Mischke<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>blobbotronic &#8211; stock.adobe.com The chipmaker has been impacted by poor PC sales, but aims to drive adoption of its AI inferencing technology By Cliff Saran, Managing Editor Published: 28 Apr 2023 11:12 Intel has reported first-quarter revenues of $11.7bn, down 36% from last year.
