Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) introduced a range of new artificial intelligence infrastructure technologies and processor offerings at Computex 2026 in Taipei, showcasing its latest efforts to strengthen its position across AI, cloud computing and data center markets.
The announcements included new rackscale AI systems, the commercial availability of Xeon 6+ processors and a series of strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating AI deployment across multiple industries.
New Rackscale AI Infrastructure Targets Enterprise Workloads
A key highlight of Intel’s presentation was the introduction of rackscale AI infrastructure designed to support inference and agentic AI workloads at scale.
The platform combines Intel Xeon processors with SambaNova’s SN-50 Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs), creating a solution intended to address growing demand for high-performance AI computing in data centers.
To bring the technology to market, Intel is collaborating with SambaNova and Foxconn on production-ready rack systems that integrate both companies’ technologies into a unified deployment platform.
Foxconn will provide system integration expertise and is also planning a CPU-focused configuration optimized for cost-efficient inference and large-scale data processing applications.
Industry Partners Showcase Advanced AI Deployments
Intel highlighted demonstrations from Vector Core Compute, a company backed by Vista Equity Partners and Cambium Capital.
The firm showcased a fully disaggregated inference environment operating from a Los Angeles data center, utilizing Intel Xeon 6 processors alongside SambaNova SN40 RDUs and NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
The demonstration illustrated how multiple processing architectures can be combined to support advanced AI workloads in cloud environments.
Intel also noted that Together.ai has become the first commercial customer to deploy cloud services powered by Vector Core Compute’s infrastructure.
Xeon 6+ Processors Enter the Market
The company announced the commercial availability of its new Xeon 6+ processor family, manufactured using Intel’s 18A process technology.
The processors are designed to support high-density, scale-out computing environments and can be configured as part of Intel’s rackscale AI infrastructure offerings.
According to the company, a single liquid-cooled rack equipped with Xeon 6+ processors can deliver up to 36,864 cores within 32U of compute space while operating at approximately 100 kilowatts of rack-level power.
The launch represents another step in Intel’s strategy to strengthen its competitiveness in AI and data center computing.
Core Ultra Adoption Continues to Grow
Intel also provided updates on adoption of its Core Ultra Series 3 processors.
The company said the chips are now featured in more than 325 consumer and commercial PC designs worldwide.
In addition, Intel announced the launch of its new Arc G-series graphics processors for handheld gaming devices, with products expected to become available beginning this month.
Beyond traditional computing markets, Intel reported that more than 130 customers have selected Series 3 processors for applications involving edge AI and robotics.
Strategic Partnerships Target Multiple Industries
Alongside its hardware announcements, Intel revealed several new collaborations aimed at developing industry-specific AI solutions.
The company has entered partnerships with Foxconn, Siemens, Hitachi, Echo Neurotechnologies and Greenstone Biosciences to create specialized systems built on Intel processors and custom silicon technologies.
These initiatives will focus on applications across manufacturing, healthcare, biotechnology and other sectors where AI adoption is accelerating.
By combining new processor technology, scalable AI infrastructure and industry-focused partnerships, Intel is seeking to broaden its presence across the AI ecosystem and position itself as a key supplier of computing solutions spanning everything from personal devices to large-scale data centers.
