Intel unveils new AI Edge systems to speed up adoption across industries

Investing.com -- Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has rolled out its new Intel AI Edge Systems, Edge AI Suites, and Open Edge Platform initiatives to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge. These offerings aim to simplify the integration of AI with existing infrastructure across various sectors including retail, manufacturing, smart cities, and media and entertainment.

Dan Rodriguez, Intel corporate vice president and general manager of the Edge Computing Group, stated that customers are keen to expand the use of AI in their existing infrastructure and workflows at the edge. He emphasized that Intel’s latest offerings will help customers meet their total cost of ownership and achieve power and performance goals.

Edge AI is increasingly becoming a key driver of enterprise innovation. Gartner (NYSE:IT) predicts that by the end of 2025, 50% of enterprise-managed data will be processed outside traditional data centers or the cloud, such as in retail stores, manufacturing plants, and healthcare facilities. By 2026, at least half of edge computing deployments will involve machine learning.

Intel, with over 100,000 real-world edge implementations with partners, many of which leverage AI, understands the unique challenges of edge AI. These challenges vary significantly by industry, each having distinct performance and power needs. The company’s new offerings address these challenges by building on Intel’s pervasive technology foundation at the edge.

Intel AI Edge Systems, Edge AI Suites, and the Open Edge Platform allow for better end-to-end performance and overall total cost of ownership in a variety of key industries. In an edge AI video analytics use case, Intel delivers up to a 2.3x increase in end-to-end pipeline performance, and up to 5x better performance per dollar compared to leading AI competition.

Intel’s AI Edge Systems, Edge AI Suites, and Open Edge Platform are designed to accelerate the deployment of advanced AI applications. Through a robust ecosystem of trusted partners, Intel enables enterprises to tackle industry-specific challenges and drive innovation in edge AI deployments.

Intel’s edge systems speed up AI deployment at the edge. Builders, like original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs), have access to standardized blueprints, benchmarks, and verification tools optimized for edge AI use cases.

Edge AI Suites are open, industry-specific AI software development kits (SDKs) for independent software vendors (ISVs), system integrators, and solutions builders. These suites simplify the creation of custom AI solutions for various industries.

The Open Edge Platform is a modular, open-source platform that simplifies the development, deployment, and management of edge and AI applications at scale. This platform allows partners to easily deploy containerized workloads on remote edge devices and manage these deployments with tools like Intel vPro/Intel Active Management Technology, enabling collaboration and innovation across the software ecosystem.
