Acer, Asus, MSI, three Core Ultra processor notebooks unveiled, demonstrating AI inference capabilities

IT House News on November 8th, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stated in the company’s previous earnings conference call that it has begun shipping “Meteor Lake” processors to PC manufacturers, and it will be officially launched on December 14th. roll out.

According to Nikkei News, today Intel took the lead in publicly demonstrating three notebook computers equipped with Core Ultra processors in Taiwan. The manufacturers are Acer, Asus and MSI. However, the related Core Ultra processors in the three notebook computers The specific model and parameter information of the device are currently unknown.

According to reports, Intel claims that these three laptops are "AI PCs", and staff are mainly on-site to demonstrate the artificial intelligence capabilities of these laptops, including image magnification, Vincentian graphics and code writing functions

Intel used Acer’s “AI PC” to conduct a Vincentian diagram test. The staff installed the open source drawing software GIMP on the device and used OpenVINO’s AI plug-in to add the Stable Diffusion Vincentian diagram function to the software. In the output After the native resolution of the image was 512x512, the staff used another AI model to quickly enlarge the image 4 times to 2048x2048, thereby emphasizing the speed advantage of "AI PC" in generating pictures and enlarging images.

The staff also demonstrated the memory bandwidth inference advantage of Core Ultra and used the 7 billion parameter Llama 2 language model for inference. They demonstrated functions such as "answering questions and generating code", and claimed that these related large language models can "run locally and offline" on laptops, so they can be used freely in any scenario

However, the Core Ultra "AI PC" notebook displayed by ASUS did not use the NPU to run the Llama 2 model, but only used the GPU to perform related work. Intel claims that ASUS and Intel are currently continuing to optimize the Llama 2 model, and "NPUs can also be used to run related models in the future."

In addition, IT House also noticed that Acer and Asus also demonstrated AI applications such as "image generation model" and "character centering" function similar to Apple's front camera.

In the demonstration, MSI highlighted the editing functions of its Core Ultra "AI PC" notebook. MSI used Wondershare Filmora video editing software to add special effects and AI background images to a batch of 4K videos, claiming that "The entire process calls the NPU of the chip."
