Title: Intel Announces Expansion to AI PC Dev Program, Aims to Reach More
Software & Hardware Devs

Today, Intel announced that it is looking to progress its AI PC Acceleration
program further by offering various new toolkits and devkits designed for
software and hardware AI developers under a new AI PC Developer Program sub-
initiative. Originally launched on October 23, the AI PC Acceleration program
was created to connect hardware vendors with software developers, using
Intel's vast resources and experience to develop a broader ecosystem as the
world pivots to one driven by AI development.

Intel aims to maximize the potential of AI applications and software and
broaden the whole AI-focused PC ecosystem by aiming for AI within 100 million
Intel-driven AI PCs by 2025. The AI PC Developer Program aims to simplify the
adoption of new AI technologies and frameworks on a larger scale. It provides
access to various tools, workflows, AI-deployment frameworks, and developer
kits, allowing developers to take advantage of the latest NPU found within
Intel's Meteor Lake Core Ultra series of processors.

It also offers centralized resources like toolkits, documentation, and
training to allow developers to fully utilize their software and hardware in
tandem with the technologies associated with Meteor Lake (and beyond) to
enhance AI and machine learning application performance. Such toolkits are
already broadly used by developers, including Intel's open-source OpenVino.

Furthermore, this centralized resource platform is designed to streamline the
AI development process, making it more efficient and effective for developers
to integrate AI capabilities into their applications. It is designed to play
a crucial role in Intel's strategy to not only advance AI technology but also
to make it more user-friendly and adaptable to various real-world
applications.

Notably, this is both a software and a hardware play. Intel isn't just
looking to court more software developers to utilize their AI resources, but
they also want to get independent hardware vendors (IHVs) on board. OEMs and
system assemblers are largely already covered under Microsoft's requirements
for Windows certification, but Intel wants to get the individual parts
vendors involved as well. How can AI be used to improve audio performance?
Display performance? Storage performance? That's something that Intel wants
to find out.

"We have made great strides with our AI PC Acceleration Program by working
with the ecosystem. Today, with the addition of the AI PC Developer Program,
we are expanding our reach to go beyond large ISVs and engage with small and
medium sized players and aspiring developers" said Carla Rodriguez, Vice
President and General Manager of Client Software Ecosystem Enabling. "Our
goal is to drive a frictionless experience by offering a broad set of tools
including the new AI-ready Developer Kit,"

The Intel AI PC Acceleration Program offers 24/7 access to resources and
early reference hardware so that both ISVs and software developers can create
and optimize workloads before launching retail components. Developers can
join the AI PC Acceleration Program at their official webpage or email
AIPCIHV@intel.com for further information
