Lisa Spelman, Vice President and General Manager Intel® Xeon® Products, Data Center Marketing at Intel Corporation, shares the origin of Intel’s data centric computing message as a customer-focused framework to tackle the today’s ultimate challenge and opportunity - data. Intel works with broad partner ecosystems to deliver hardware and software innovation in compute, storage and networking that supports the movement, storage and processing of every bit of data for better business outcomes.  

Cloudification of services and infrastructure is pervasive, which accelerates the utilization and creation of this data. Intel has invested over ten years in building the silicon foundation and software ecosystem for the cloud and cloud native architecture. That revolution has moved into the communication service provider market to support delivery of new services in a more cost-effective manner. Lisa talks about the convergence of 5G, cloud, edge and Internet of Things (IoT) that drives requirements for artificial intelligence, visual workloads and smart computing on the edge.

Data-Centric Computing at Intersection of AI, Edge, IoT, 5G and Cloud – Intel® Chip Chat episode 639

Ronnie Vasishta, Vice President and General Manager for the Networking and Configurable Logic Division at Intel, joins Chip Chat to discuss the critical role of programmable solutions in the delivery of network infrastructure for 5G. 

Vasishta joined Intel with the acquisition of eASIC in 2018 and is responsible both for running eASIC within Intel and for the wireline and wireless networking business for Intel's programmable solutions. In this interview, Vasishta and host Allyson Klein dive deep on technologies that are part of what Vasishta calls the "custom logic continuum." Vasishta talks about "structured ASICs," an intermediary between FPGAs and true ASICs with lower unit-cost and power consumption than FPGAs but faster time-to-market and lower engineering cost than true ASICs. Additionally, Vasishta highlights next-generation Intel eASIC code-named Diamond Mesa. Drawing upon generations of customer learning from both Intel and eASIC, Diamond Mesa is already seeing early adoption in 5G RAN applications by some of the same customers who helped contribute to the product's definition. Finally, Vasishta looks ahead to the future of programmable solutions and how Intel will continue to deliver to continuously evolving and changing market requirements.
