Intel has announced a multiyear collaboration with Google that will see the hyperscaler commit to using multiple generations of Intel CPUs in its data centers. The partners will all co-develop custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit)-based IPUs (infrastructure processing units) for “scaling… heterogeneous AI systems.”

Doesn't really matter if it is listening to customers when the chips are this good

The landmark partnership between Intel and Nvidia announced last year could see new CPUs featuring GeForce RTX graphics arrive in 2028.

There will be no 'special edition' of the flagship with the refresh of Arrow Lake, which isn't surprising based on what we're hearing about CPU supply.

The jointly engineered architecture is centered on Intel Xeon 6 processors and SambaNova RDUs. The SN50 RDU is designed to change the tokenomics of inference, delivering high--throughput, low--latency decode for large language models, while Xeon 6 provides the memory bandwidth, PCIe lane density, and on--die accelerators.

Intel has mostly fixed its past mistakes with Arrow Lake.

Robert Hallock, Intel's vice president and general manager of client segment technical marketing, confirmed in an interview with Club386 that the Raptor Lake lineup remains "a

Intel stands to benefit from a CPU boom and a growing array of partnerships, but an analyst notes it’s “not out of the woods yet.”

The price hike comes after Intel's initial 10% increase at the end of March; the total goal is to raise prices by 30% compared to 2025 pricing.
