Intel launches new Xeon 6 processors for advanced AI systems
Intel
has launched three new processors under its Xeon 6 lineup to power advanced GPU-powered artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
These new processors with Performance-cores (P-cores) include Intel's Priority Core Turbo (PCT) technology and Intel Speed Select Technology – Turbo Frequency, delivering customisable CPU core frequencies to boost GPU performance across demanding AI workloads, the company said in a statement.
Intel said its Xeon 6776P processor is already serving as a host CPU for the
Nvidia
DGX B300 GPU, which is the AI chipmaker's latest generation of AI-accelerated systems.
'These new Xeon SKUs demonstrate the unmatched performance of Intel Xeon 6, making it the ideal CPU for next-gen GPU-accelerated
AI systems
,' said Karin Eibschitz Segal, corporate vice president and interim general manager of the Data Center Group at Intel.
'We're thrilled to deepen our collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver one of the industry's highest-performing AI systems, helping accelerate AI adoption across industries,' he added.
Intel said its Xeon 6 processors with P-cores ensure balanced workload distribution for intensive AI tasks, up to 30% faster memory speeds compared to its rivals, faster data transfer for I/O-intensive workloads, and support FP16 precision arithmetic for efficient data preprocessing and critical CPU tasks in AI workloads.

Trump administration in talks to take 10% stake in Intel, reports
The Trump administration is in talks to take a 10% stake in Intel by converting some or all of the struggling company's Chips Act grants into equity, Bloomberg News reported, citing a White House official and other people familiar with the matter. Shares of Intel fell 3.8% on Monday, after rallying last week on hopes of US federal support. A 10% stake in the American chipmaker would be worth about $10 billion. Intel has been slated to receive a combined $10.9 billion in Chips Act grants for commercial and military production, and the figure is roughly enough to pay for the government's holding, according to the Bloomberg report on Monday. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Intel and the White House did not respond to Reuters requests for comment. Media reports said last week that the US government may buy a stake in Intel, after a meeting between CEO Lip-Bu Tan and President Donald Trump that was sparked by Trump's demand for the new Intel chief's resignation over his ties to Chinese firms. Federal backing could give Intel more breathing room to revive its loss-making foundry business, analysts have said, but it still suffers from a weak product roadmap and challenges in attracting customers to its new factories. Trump, who called the meeting with Tan 'very interesting,' has taken an unprecedented approach to corporate interventions. He has pushed for multibillion-dollar government tie-ups in semiconductors and rare earths, such as a pay-for-play deal with Nvidia and an arrangement with rare earth producer MP Materials to secure critical minerals. Intel last year secured nearly $8 billion in subsidies, the largest outlay under the act, to build new factories in Ohio and other states as former CEO Pat Gelsinger bet on them to restore the company's manufacturing edge. Tan, however, pared back such ambitions, slowing construction in Ohio. He plans to build factories based on demand for the services, which analysts have said could put him at odds with Trump's push to shore up American manufacturing.

Trump Administration To Discuss Taking 10% In Intel: Report
The Trump administration is said to discuss taking a 10% stake in American chipmaker Intel, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing a White House official and other people familiar with the matter. Shares of the company were down 3.8%. The federal government is considering a potential investment in Intel that would involve converting some or all of the company's grants from the U.S. Chips and Science Act into equity, the report said. Trump, who met Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan on August 11, has taken an unprecedented approach to national security. He has pushed for multibillion-dollar government tie-ups in semiconductors and rare earths such as a pay-for-play deal with Nvidia and an arrangement with rare earth producer MP Materials to secure critical minerals. Tan, who took the top job just over six months back, has been tasked to turnaround Intel. Federal backing could give Intel more breathing room to revive its loss-making foundry business, analysts said, but it still suffers from a weak product roadmap and challenges in attracting customers to its new factories.

Trump administration in talks to take 10% stake in Intel
The Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel Corp., according to a White House official and other people familiar with the matter, in a move that could see the US become the beleaguered chipmaker's largest shareholder. The federal government is considering a potential investment in Intel that would involve converting some or all of the company's grants from the US Chips and Science Act into equity, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is confidential. Intel has been slated to receive a combined $10.9 billion in Chips Act grants for commercial and military production. That figure is roughly enough to pay for the targeted holding. At Intel's current market value, a 10% stake in the chipmaker would be worth roughly $10.5 billion. The exact size of the stake, as well as whether the White House chooses to move ahead with the plan, is still in flux, the people said. Intel shares dropped as much as 5.5% after Bloomberg reported on the talks Monday. They had climbed 23% last week for their best weekly gain since February. White House spokesman Kush Desai declined to comment on the specifics of the discussions, saying only that no deal is official until it's announced by the administration. Intel didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House official also floated the possibility that the administration could convert other Chips Act awards into equity stakes. It's not clear whether that idea has gained traction broadly within the administration or whether officials have broached the possibility with any companies that could be affected. Last month, in an unprecedented move, the Defense Department said it will take a $400 million preferred equity stake in the little-known US rare-earth producer MP Materials Corp. — a deal that would make the Pentagon the company's largest shareholder. News of a potential government investment in Intel kicked off a rally in the company's shares after Bloomberg News first reported the discussions among US officials and company representatives last week. As is the case for all Chips Act winners, Intel's grant money was originally designed to be disbursed over time as the company hits negotiated project milestones. Intel had received $2.2 billion in grant disbursements as of January. It's unclear whether that $2.2 billion would be included in the possible equity stake, whether the company has received additional tranches of its award since President Donald Trump took office, and on what timeline Intel would receive money under a possible equity stake.
