It is expected that new products equipped with Ice Lake will be available to Intel's OEMs by the end of 2019.
Project Athena / Intel announced an innovation program called 'Project Athena'. Project Athena is a new industry standard designed to provide users with new experiences leveraging emerging technologies, including 5G and AI.

From the first connected PC with integrated Wi-Fi on the Intel Centrino platform to driving mainstream adoption of ultra-thin and light designs, touchscreens, and 2-in-1 form factors with Ultrabooks, Intel has been a catalyst for delivering the next generation of PC experiences.

The first Project Athens device, combining a sleek and beautiful design with top-of-the-line performance, battery life, and connectivity, is expected to be unveiled in the second half of this year.

Lakefield Sun Unveiled / Intel is accelerating client innovation with a new approach to hybrid CPU architecture and packaging technology.

At CES 2019, Intel previewed a new client platform, codenamed "Lakefield," featuring the first version of its Foveros 3D packaging technology.

This hybrid CPU architecture allows for the integration of multiple previously separate pieces of IP into a single, smaller motherboard. This provides OEMs with greater flexibility in thin and light form factor designs.

Lakefield is expected to enter production this year.

9th Gen Intel Core Desktop Family Expands / Intel introduced new additions to its 9th Gen Intel Core processors, expanding their offerings across a broader range of desktop products. These processors deliver world-class performance, unlocking incredible new features and experiences for creators and gamers of all levels.

The first of the new 9th generation Intel Core desktop processor family is expected to be available starting this month.


Powering a data-driven world
Intel's Data Center Group is transforming industries by providing customers with exceptional assets that enable them to move, store, and process vast amounts of untapped data.

Advances in AI / Intel announced the Intel Nervana Neural Network Processor for Inference (NNP-I). This new class of chip is dedicated to accelerating inference for demanding workloads and is expected to enter production this year.

Facebook is one of Intel's NNP-I development partners. Intel also expects to unveil its Neural Network Processor for Training, codenamed "Spring Crest," later this year.

10nm server processor pre-release / Intel demonstrated for the first time its future 10nm-based Intel Xeon Scalable processor 'Ice Lake'.

The Ice Lake processor, which is compatible with the upcoming 14nm Cooper Lake, is aimed at servers. It is expected to feature improved performance, enhanced security features thanks to new hardware, and a variety of other features. Shipments are targeted for 2020.

Intel Expands 5G with 10nm SoC / Intel announced that it is expanding its decade-long investment in network infrastructure with a 10nm-based network SoC, codenamed 'Snow Ridge', which has been developed targeting 5G wireless access and edge.

Snow Ridge is specifically designed for 5G wireless access and edge computing. By integrating Intel architecture into wireless access base stations through a network SoC, more computing power will be distributed to the network edge. Snow Ridge is expected to be available in the second half of this year.

Next-Generation Xeon Scalable Processors Ship / Intel announced that it has started shipping its next-generation Xeon Scalable processors, codenamed 'Cascade Lake'.

Cascade Lake supports 'Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory' and 'Intel DL Boost' to accelerate AI deep learning inference. Cascade Lake is expected to be fully commercially available in the first half of this year.


Engineering for the Human Experience
Intel highlighted what is possible when the technology is seamlessly implemented across the entire spectrum of computing.

From devices to the cloud, and across the network to the edge, technology can deliver new immersive experiences.
