Intel Program for AI PC Software Developers and Hardware Vendors
Developers can join Intel’s AI PC Acceleration Program and learn more about Intel’s global partner network.
Intel Corporation announced on March 26 the creation of two new artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives as part of the AI PC Acceleration Program: the AI PC Developer Program and the addition of independent hardware vendors to the program.
According to Intel, these are critical milestones in its pursuit of enabling the software and hardware ecosystem to optimize and maximize AI on more than 100 million Intel-based AI PCs through 2025.
The AI PC Developer Program is designed specifically for software developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) to deliver a frictionless developer experience and make it easy for developers to adopt new AI technologies at scale.
It provides access to tools, workflows, AI-deployment frameworks and developer kits that include the latest Intel hardware featuring the Intel Core Ultra processor.
The updated developer resource pages provide a convenient one-stop shop for developers to access AI PC and client-focused toolkits, documentation, and training.
These collated resources aim to help developers take full advantage of Intel Core Ultra processor technologies to maximize AI and machine learning (ML) application performance and accelerate new use cases.
Developers can join Intel’s AI PC Acceleration Program and learn more about Intel’s global partner network that is working to maximize AI performance in the PC industry.
The addition of independent hardware vendors (IHV) to the AI PC Acceleration Program provides the opportunity for IHVs to prepare, optimize and enable their hardware for Intel AI PCs.
Qualified partners gain access to Intel’s Open Labs, where they receive technical and co-engineering support early in the development phase of their hardware solutions and platforms.
Additionally, through this program, Intel provides reference hardware so that qualified IHV partners can test and optimize their technology so that it runs as efficiently as possible at time of launch.
“Intel has already onboarded 150 hardware vendors around the world into our AI PC Accelerator Program,” said Matt King, senior director of Client Hardware Ecosystem at Intel. “We’re excited to scale our innovative hardware and software solutions to bring this momentum to our broad, open ecosystem of developers.”
IHV and developers can register to join the AI Acceleration Program for IHVs. Intel offers a wide variety of toolkits for AI developers to leverage and is bringing over 300 AI-accelerated features to market through 2024 with Intel Core Ultra processors across 230 designs from 12 global original equipment manufacturers.
