Intel and IT services leader Infosys expanded their partnership to transition businesses from AI experimentation to large-scale deployment. The collaboration combines Intel Xeon processors and Gaudi AI accelerators with Infosys Topaz Fabric AI software. This ecosystem aims to provide flexible enterprise AI adoption across edge and cloud environments.
At the Embedded World 2026 conference, Intel launched the Core Series 2 processor for mission-critical edge applications.
