Intel expands AI portfolio with new chips, infrastructure products, and partnerships across Foxconn, Siemens, Hitachi, and others.

Intel introduced rack-scale AI infrastructure for inference and agentic workloads (processes where AI systems make decisions and take actions) built around Xeon processors and SambaNova SN-50 reconfigurable dataflow units, plus Vector Core Compute, an enterprise inference cloud (a service for running AI models) backed by Vista Equity Partners and Cambium Capital.

The company signed strategic collaborations with Foxconn, Siemens, Hitachi, Echo Neurotechnologies, and Greenstone Biosciences to build vertical solutions around Intel processors and custom silicon aimed at different industry needs.

Intel highlighted Xeon 6+ processors, its next-generation data center CPU built on Intel 18A and designed for high-density, scale-out workloads, and said partner support and customer use of its Series 3 processors is widening across the ecosystem for inference-heavy enterprise deployments globally.
