The revolutionary upgrade of the Core Ultra processor empowers AI creation to be faster and more energy-efficient
ASUS Zenbook 14 2024 is powered by an Intel Core Ultra7 processor for the first time, ushering in a new era of AI PCs with Intel. The Core Ultra processor adopts the Intel4 manufacturing process, which has made a breakthrough in technological innovation, introducing innovative technologies such as EUV lithography and high-density MIM capacitors, compared with the previous generation process, Intel4 has achieved twice the area reduction, so that the processor has a higher crystal density, therefore, the Core Ultra can provide faster running speed and lower power consumption when dealing with complex computing tasks, such as AI application running, big data processing, ** editing, scientific computing, etc.
Under the premise of a breakthrough in the manufacturing process, the Core Ultra processor also adopts advanced FoverOS 3D packaging technology to achieve a revolutionary split module architecture, which divides the entire processor into different functional partitions of computing modules, SOC modules, IO modules, and graphics modules, which is the biggest innovation in Intel's PC processors in 40 years. The detached module architecture can not only quickly adapt to the processor development of PCs from traditional applications to AI applications, but also provide an ultra-low-power thread scheduling mechanism by creating SoC low-power islands, which is faster and more energy-efficient for thin and light laptops, thus achieving an excellent energy consumption ratio in the history of PC processors.
In terms of accelerating the popularization of artificial intelligence, in addition to providing CPU AI acceleration - DL boost and GPU AI acceleration - DP4A, the Intel Core Ultra processor also integrates AI-specific neural network processing unit (NPU) into the PC processor for the first time, which can meet the operation of different AI models, and allow thin and light laptops to maintain reasonable battery life when processing AI applications, realizing a strong combination of entertainment creation and battery life and portability.
Therefore, Zenbook 14 2024 can easily control the current hot AI applications. Users can easily run up to 20 billion parametersLarge language modelsto achieve communication, programming, translation and other functions;WhenClipping AI cutoutsWhen the function runs on the NPU, the processing time is reduced by 3 times and the power consumption is reduced by 3 times compared with the CPU, helping creators produce fasterAIGC has a lower threshold for application, such as AI painting generation toolsstable diffusionIt can also run smoothly on personal PCs, allowing more users to experience and use AIGC technology.
