110 SMT007 MAGAZINE I FEBRUARY 2021 of Intel, they talked about VPro, their new security chip hardware/soware solutions. ey had demos showing how VPro pre- vents silent and invisible attacks while AMD chips are susceptible. ey also focused on a new generation of processors for students (Pen- tium/Celeron), and general computing, like the EVO series of i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors. Many of these seemed to be focused on gaming (Figure 20) using NVIDIA graphics chips and cards. Bryant and Raymond spent much of their time on new AI processors and the Mobileye products for automated driving. ey claim there are now 60 million cars on the road using Mobileye, and they are planning for smart driving products for Level 1 to Level 5 autonomy. ese products use cameras, radar, and Lidar sensors along with new AI soware and hardware. Using silicon photonics and sors are 8-, 16- and 32-cores that can clock up to 5.0 GHz. ese are "sup- posed" to be the fastest in the indus- try for consumer use. e only ones more powerful are the AMD pro- cessors for large, computer centers, the Epyc Series, that contain 32 and 64 cores. Microso and IL&M have used these for their new cloud computer centers. IL&M needs this horsepower for rendering the graphics for its movies. A typi- cal center will have 500,000 serv- ers occupying 20 buildings of over two million square feet of space on a 30-acre site with 19,000 batteries for backup including their own die- sel power generators. AMD spent a lot of their time talk- ing about the importance of gam- ing. Su said that in 2019, gaming had surpassed the revenues of the movie and music industries combined. AMD has been working with Microso on a new Xbox and with Sony on the PlayStation 5, as well as on gaming notebooks and workstations, using the Ryzen 5000 HX series and Radian RX6000 series graphic cards. ese new graphics driv- ers work with the new LG QLED curved screen at 1440 pixels with 60 and 100 frames per second refresh for both 4K and 8K resolu- tion. Special designs even support large screen 16K theaters. ese souped-up gaming con- soles (Figure 19) have two new-generation, flat-silent cooling fans. Intel Corporation Intel's presentation by Gregory Bryant, execu- tive vice president and general manager of Client Computing Group, and Craig Raymond, senior tech marketing engineer, took a different track than AMD.
