This will make the CPU much more energy efficient.
As you know, Meteor Lake processors, which will be released before the end of this year, will be the first in Intel’s consumer line with an AI hardware unit. And if there are still questions regarding the benefits for consumers, then, as it has become known now, artificial intelligence will work directly inside the CPU.
Artificial intelligence will be used for power management. The AI will determine how much power needs to be supplied to the processor for a specific workload. This will allow the CPU to quickly switch from one consumption mode to another. As a result, the processor will be more energy efficient.
Intel Meteor Lake processors will be responsible for artificial intelligence for power management
Intel itself says that AI will increase switching speeds by 35% or more. Energy savings are supposed to be 15%. Moreover, subsequent generations of Intel CPUs with this technology will benefit even more from its presence.
In its current form, the AI that will be used in Meteor Lake will not be able to self-learn. It will be a ready-made model, trained to work with specific scenarios in a wide range of workloads. Perhaps in future generations, artificial intelligence will adapt to the scenarios of a particular user, which will make the CPU even more efficient.
