利用SambaNova的SN50芯片和Intel的基础设施,联合开发AI推论解决方案。 Intel scrapped its acquisition of SambaNova but launched a multiyear partnership to co-develop AI inference solutions using SambaNova’s SN50 chip and Intel’s infrastructure.

英特尔(Intel)终止了与AI新创SambaNova的收购谈判,但发起了多年合作,利用SambaNova的SN50芯片和英特尔的Xeon基础设施开发AI联合推断解决方案。 Intel has ended its acquisition talks with AI startup SambaNova but launched a multiyear collaboration to develop joint AI inference solutions using SambaNova’s SN50 chip and Intel’s Xeon-based infrastructure. SN50是针对人工智能代理工作量设计的,其性能比竞合芯片要快5倍,成本要低3倍,重点是实时高通货应用。 The SN50, designed for agentic AI workloads, offers up to five times faster performance and three times lower cost than competing chips, with a focus on real-time, high-concurrency applications. Samba Nova筹集了3.5亿美元的E系列资金,由Vista平等伙伴和Cambium Capital牵头,Intel Capital和SoftBank参与其中。 SambaNova raised $350 million in Series E funding led by Vista Equity Partners and Cambium Capital, with Intel Capital and SoftBank participating. 这一伙伴关系将把桑巴诺瓦的可重新配置的数据单位与英特尔的CPU、GPU和网络结合起来,以建立可扩展的、成本效益高的AI系统,而软银行则在日本的下一代数据中心部署SN50。 The partnership will integrate SambaNova’s reconfigurable data units with Intel’s CPUs, GPUs, and networking to build scalable, cost-effective AI systems, with SoftBank set to deploy the SN50 in Japan’s next-gen data centers.
