Intel\u2019s AI<\/span> stra\u00adtegy is groun\u00added in the belief that harnes\u00adsing the power of AI<\/span> to impro\u00adve busi\u00adness out\u00adco\u00admes requi\u00adres a broad mix of tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy \u2013 hard\u00adware and soft\u00adware \u2013 and full eco\u00adsys\u00adtem sup\u00adport.

In 2019, Intel expects to gene\u00adra\u00adte over $3.5 bil\u00adli\u00adon in AI-dri\u00adven reve\u00adnue, up more than 20 per\u00adcent year-over-year. Tog\u00ade\u00adther, Intel and Haba\u00adna can acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adte the deli\u00advery of best-in-class AI<\/span> pro\u00adducts for the data cen\u00adter, addres\u00adsing cus\u00adto\u00admers\u2019 evol\u00adving needs.<\/p>\n

She\u00adnoy con\u00adtin\u00adued: \u201cWe know that cus\u00adto\u00admers are loo\u00adking for ease of pro\u00adgramma\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty with pur\u00adpo\u00adse-built AI<\/span> solu\u00adti\u00adons, as well as supe\u00adri\u00ador, sca\u00adlable per\u00adfor\u00admance on a wide varie\u00adty of workloads and neu\u00adral net\u00adwork topo\u00adlo\u00adgies. That\u2019s why we\u2019re thril\u00adled to have an AI<\/span> team of Habana\u2019s cali\u00adber with a pro\u00adven track record of exe\u00adcu\u00adti\u00adon joi\u00adning Intel.
