Intel Corporation and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) established a joint laboratory focused on intelligent computing.

The lab launched a three-year research program.

The program explores high-efficiency near-memory computing (NMC) architectures. This research tackles performance and energy challenges in artificial intelligence applications.

The collaboration emphasizes software-hardware co-design. It aims to provide crucial insights for developing future smart devices and sustainable AI systems.

This initiative aligns with Intel's strategy to foster academic partnerships and accelerate innovation in a key growth area.
