Intel established an innovation center in Shenzhen

This year, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the rare bright spots in the semiconductor industry. In an effort to ride this wave and capture more clients, Intel has revised its MAX series of GPU product lines, discontinuing the former MAX 1350, while introducing a new product called MAX 1450. By reducing the I/O bandwidth to meet the requirements of export control regulations, Intel aims to cater to the needs of the Chinese market. Alongside this, Intel has also released Habana Gaudi2 for the Chinese market, hoping to seize market share in AI and high-performance computing from Nvidia.

According to The Register, Intel is establishing an innovation center in Shenzhen, dedicated to the development of customized chips for AI and edge computing applications tailored to the Chinese market. In this regard, an official statement from Intel elucidates the situation:

“Intel’s existing technologies and products to continuously enable the application innovations of our partners and customers with an open ecosystem, with a focus on applications in artificial intelligence (AI), chip applications and edge computing etc to address the local market demand.”

It is understood that Intel, in collaboration with local government and technology enterprises, has crafted a project dubbed “Intel Greater Bay Area Innovation Center,” located in Shenzhen’s Nanshan district.
