Recently CEO of Intel, Pat Gelsinger, announced 'Idm 2.0 'Strategy for Manufacturing, Innovation and Product Leadership.What are the most important assumptions of the new strategy?

The most important elements of this extensive strategy are related to production areas, which is emphasized by the name.Our production strategy is based on three basic pillars.This is a greater use and expansion of our own factories, the use of the production capacity of partners and establishing a separate company, Intel Foundry Services, which will offer our production capacity to third -third -world companies around the world.We plan toinvest $ 20 billionin two new production plantsin Arizona, we are also expanding our factoryin Ireland and Israel, and we are looking for another locationin Europe.A new strategy, which is worth emphasizing, is associated with a still growing demand for data processing, so we need to develop new technologiesin this direction and provide our clients with better and better solutions.

In the statement of Pat Gelsinger is mentioned M.in.About the new era ofinnovation - whatinnovations are we talking about here?

First of all, about the development of subsequent generation of processors and ways toincrease the density of semiconductors, i.e. areasin which we have great knowledge and experience.We have technology called Foveros to build processorsin a completely new way.I would like to give here as an example of its use of the graphics system from the XE family targeted at data centers, the code name Ponte Vecchio, which will consist of 47 different types of elementsin which, thanks to Foveros, over 100 billion of transistors.This technology also allows you to combine various types of parts.You can connect the core madein one technological process with controllers performedin another technological process with a guarantee that all these blocks will fit together and the solution will work.

It is worth noting that a single processor today has the ability to process data at the level of one Teraflop, andin 2008 a gallery, a supercomputer operatingin Gdańsk, which occupied a large part of the server room, had the ability to process data at the level of about 50 Teraflts.This is one examples of progress and development ofinnovative technologies.

We are currently actively entering the graphic solution segment, both for Data Center and forindividual users.Intel has been known mainly fromintegrated graphicsin the processor, but now we will expand the offer with dedicated solutions.This is another element ofinnovation.We have recently signed a contract on strategic cooperation with IBM M.in.when developing new technological processes and new solutions.We believe that this will accelerate the development of more products.

What strategy will translate into Intel's operation in Poland?

In Poland, we are constantly developing.In Gdańsk, in two locations, we already employ over 3,000.people.We are currently starting the construction of another building in the campus at the Gdańsk airport. Mamy tu też największy w Europie dział R&D. Polscyinżynierowie z pewnością będą uczestniczyli w rozwoju kolejnych generacji produktów. Warto może przypomnieć, że nasz oddział w Gdańsku miał duży wkład w rozwójinterfejsu USB, który wszyscy dziś znamy.

I would like to talk about the premiere of new Intel Xeon processors, also called Ice Lake, which is the foundation of the latest Intel portfolio.How do new solutions fit into the technological transformation of companies?

The digital transformation, which most companies undergo today, causes a great demand for data processing.By releasing subsequent generations of solutions, we strive to be stronger, process much more data and do it faster and with less energy consumption.This is what the third generation of scalable processors can do.Not only that, they also contain safety elements. Cześć klientów korzystających zinfrastruktury chmurowej zastanawia się często nad tym, na ile ich dane są bezpieczne i czy nie będą się mieszały zinnymi danymi w data center.It is known that there are various types of technologies that can guarantee data security and separation, starting with physical, separate servers through virtual machines, etc..but we went a step further.The third generation of Xeon is a SGX solution that increases data security at the processor level.This technology allows you to create a protected space in the system memory, in which the most important data and access to them are closed without appropriate permissions and keys.Despite the fact that all data during processing is also encrypted, it does not affect the system performance. Bezpieczeństwo, a także wsparcie dla sztucznejinteligencji są kluczowe jeśli chodzi o rozwój kolejnej generacji Xeonów.

How do new, scalable third generation Intel Xeon processors fit into the processes of processing on the edge of the network?

The topic of boundary processing is very important today.Until recently, the Great Data Centers created in two or three locations in the world were to process all data data.However, with the increase in data volumes, an element of delay appeared, which is critical for many solutions and processes.That is why suppliers began to build data centers closer to customers, the idea was that they were closest to places where the data is used.The next step towards faster data processing is Edge Computing.The number of data is increasing and without solutions that analyze it on the edge of the network "would stop" Data Center.Solution brzegowe zbiera dane z różnych miejsc i urządzeń: access pointów, mniejszych serwerów, kamer, czujników IoT i zanim wyśle je do data center, częśćinformacji przetwarza na miejscu po to, by po ich przeanalizowaniu, przesłać tylko najistotniejsze dane.Edge computing, of course, connects with Xeons.We have different processor models, these are dedicated solutions to the Data Center, where the power element is critical, but also solutions adapted to the edge on the shore, allowing for initial data processing, drawing the first applications and sending data to the Data Center in smaller quantities.The concept of boundary processing is to help not only reduce the amount of data sent, but also increase the reaction speed by bringing it to real time.Autonomous vehicles are a good example here.Companies that have been working on their development for a long time say that at the routes of the main traffic in various places they should be located, let's call it a mini data center, which will process data so that autonomous systems are able to react with the least delay as possible as possible.

Z oficjalnychinformacji wynika, że Intel Xeon Scalable 3-ciej generacji to jedyne procesory serwerowe dla centrów danych z wbudowaną sztucznąinteligencją i zaawansowanymi funkcjami bezpieczeństwa, które rozwiązują problemy związane z ochroną danych. Jak dokładnie wygląda działanie sztucznejinteligencji w przypadku procesorów Intela?

Mamy wbudowane w Xeony oraz w niektóreinne modele procesorów mechanizmy, które przyspieszają przetwarzanie danych związanych ze sztucznąinteligencją zwiększając efektywność deep learning.Solution

How could you sum up from your point of view of changes in the IT market that took place in the last, special year?

Changes can be observed primarily in three areas in which we operate, such as final client solutions, Data Center solutions and data transmission solutions.In the area of client solutions, we see a dynamic increase in the demand for computers, driven by the ubiquitous remote work.We estimate that this year the number of units sold in the world will be greater than in 2012, when their sales reached the highest value - 350 million pieces.And this trend will probably persist.We all see how important the performance of the solution we use is, which in turn entails the increasing demand for data processing.We offer network cards that have 100 gigabits of bandwidth and we are working on their next generations. Zacieśniamy też współpracę z wieloma dostawcami rozwiązań 5G, którychinfrastruktura wykorzystuje technologię Intela, zarówno Xeony jak i rozwiązania sieciowe.As you can see in the direction of changes in which the market will supply, the demand for our technologies is high and will continue to grow.
