Conference, Intel CEO Chen Liwu said x86 remains the foundation of modern
computing and will continue to drive a shift toward intelligent applications. He
highlighted Intel’s combined capabilities across CPU, GPU, ASIC, advanced
packaging and wafer manufacturing, plus an open cloud–edge–endpoint ecosystem,
as a competitive edge. Chen said Intel is confident it can seize unprecedented
opportunities with customers and ecosystem partners, is sharpening execution and
engineering focus, and will work with partners to define next‑generation
computing.
