Intel and Asus have unveiled a new range of AI-powered educational devices aimed at primary and secondary schools, in a move that reflects Intel's expansion into employing AI technologies outside of traditional data centers and personal computers.
The collection includes laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks, along with solutions to accelerate AI applications based on Intel Core Ultra processors, with a focus on classroom use, data protection, and processing information locally without relying entirely on cloud computing.
Through this partnership, Intel seeks to open up a new institutional market for its chips by targeting the education sector, which represents a large and relatively stable demand base, especially with the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence tools into the educational process.
This collaboration could give the company an opportunity to boost sales of AI-powered computers, at a time when chip companies and device manufacturers are competing to transform AI from a general technology feature into specialized solutions that meet the needs of different sectors.
In trading, Intel shares rose by about 6.01% at the close, reaching $139.63, recording strong daily gains supported by investor optimism about the company's expansion into artificial intelligence applications and opening new growth channels outside of traditional computing markets.
