Intel and Lenovo have signed a multi-year partnership agreement where both companies will focus on converging high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) to build solutions for organisations of all sizes and solve the world’s most challenging problems.

As part of the collaboration, Lenovo will be enhancing Intel’s complete portfolio of HPC and AI hardware and software solutions. Both will help accelerate the convergence of the technologies to unravel new levels of customer insight. The merging of the Lenovo Neptune liquid cooling technology together with the second Generation Intel Xeon Scalable platform has already produced significant results from joint engineering and using a unique combination of HPC IP from the two companies.

The Lenovo-Intel alliance would focus mainly on three areas:

  • Systems and solutions
  • Software optimisation for HPC and AI convergence
  • Ecosystem enablement
