Intel powers the infrastructure behind the AI opportunity

As organisations move from AI experimentation to real-world deployment, the demand for high-performance, secure and scalable infrastructure continues to grow. At TD SYNNEX EXPLORE, Intel highlighted how its latest innovations are helping partners deliver the compute power needed to support the next generation of AI solutions.

As one of only three companies worldwide with the capability to build advanced silicon, Intel sits right at the centre of AI development. As agentic AI starts to be deployed at scale, Intel is playing a key role in bringing forward the new CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs needed to meet the insatiable and ever-growing demand for AI compute power.

Supporting AI performance at scale

Over the last four years, Intel has successfully developed five new ‘advanced process nodes’ – manufacturing techniques for the mass-production of high-density semiconductors. The resulting chips are already being used for AI-driven, industry-specific solutions such as Ambient Voice Technology for real-time healthcare diagnosis and advanced robotics in manufacturing.

They are also starting to arrive on servers and PCs in the form of the GPU D-Series, which is designed to support memory-intensive agentic AI workloads. In addition, Intel is starting to publish blueprints for specific use cases that go beyond the CPU to address the complex orchestration and security required for agentic AI-driven solutions.

The company has also been making advances with its vPro platform, which enhances security, stability, and operation of PC systems, with the latest versions now offering up to 27 hours battery life for laptops and advanced remote recovery capabilities, even when there is a ‘bluescreen’.

Helping partners capture AI opportunities

TD SYNNEX works closely with Intel to help partners build expertise, access technical resources and identify new opportunities through the Intel Partner Alliance programme.
