If cores are what agents crave, Intel's new Clearwater Xeon 6+ might just quench their thirst
Intel’s Clearwater Forest Xeons were originally designed to power telco networks, SaaS apps, and other high-volume web-scale workloads. But by a stroke of luck, the x86 giant may have also built an agentic AI beast. AI model training, inference, and the GPUs that power them have dominated the discourse for the past few years, but with the rise of agentic harnesses like OpenClaw, CPUs are back in the limelight.
Intel and pals cram 36,864 CPU cores into a 100kW rack while chasing the agentic AI dragon
Intel is working with Foxconn and other infrastructure providers to develop rack-scale reference designs based on the chipmaker’s Xeon processors. Announced during Intel’s Computex keynote on Tuesday, these blueprints aim to provide greater CPU compute densities for running AI agents at scale. While AI models predominantly run on GPUs and other AI accelerators, the agent harnesses, like OpenClaw, which are used to connect them to tools, terminal shells, code interpreters, and other APIs,...
Intel bit off more than it could chew with 18A process node
Intel is keen to reassure investors that its troubles with the 18A manufacturing process were a one-off, and that it is better positioned to capitalize on what it expects will be growing demand for CPUs used in AI inference workloads. Speaking at the Bank of America 2026 Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, Chipzilla’s chief financial officer David Zinsner claimed that the firm simply bit off more than it could chew in trying to move too fast with the new process node. “I would say...
Intel Diamond Rapids to boost core counts to 192, but RIP Hyperthreading
Intel’s upcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon will boost core counts to 192, a 50 percent increase over last generation, the x86 giant revealed at Computex in Taipei this week. But while core counts continue to rise, in doing so Intel has managed to cut thread counts by a quarter. Yep, Hyperthreading – Intel's marketing for simultaneous multithreading – is officially dead.
