Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger to deliver Computex 2024 keynote

Pat Gelsinger is now confirmed to keynote at Computex 2024 on June 4th.

According to the press release, Intel will showcase its next-generation data-center and client products. For the client segment, Intel is expected to deliver updates to its Arrow Lake architecture, which is set to launch as a mobile and desktop platform at some point. Computex is also a good opportunity for motherboard makers to showcase their next-gen motherboards, which are now shifting to LGA-1851 socket for desktops.

What’s important to highlight is that AMD is also planning a keynote for Computex. Just a day earlier, on June 3rd, Dr. Lisa Su will deliver the first Computex keynote where updates on Zen5 client products are expected. Clearly, both companies have a lot to discuss and launch in the second half of this year, and Computex seems to be just about the perfect time and place to reveal the first details.

TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) has announced Pat Gelsinger, CEO of Intel Corporation, as a keynote speaker at COMPUTEX 2024 on June 4. Embracing COMPUTEX’s theme of artificial intelligence (AI), Gelsinger will showcase Intel’s next-generation data center and client computing products bringing AI Everywhere by making the technology accessible through exceptionally engineered platforms, secure solutions and open ecosystems support.

Of course, just because something will be showcased, it doesn’t mean that the launch is imminent. It is not unusual for AMD and Intel to discuss next-gen CPU architectures week or even months before launch. However, the Arrow Lake series has been long rumored to launch within 2H 2024 period.

The PR further explains that Intel will detail how the company is using their products from Xeon, Gaudi and Core Ultra series to accelerate AI. Similarly to Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake is also said to include a NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for such workloads.
