In an unlikely turn of events, two chip rivals, AMD and Intel, have come together to form the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group. The advisory group will focus on expanding the x86 ecosystem by simplifying software development and improving platform interoperability.
Intel and AMD will provide developers with tools to create scalable solutions and identify architectural enhancements that can meet the demands of modern computing, such as AI workloads, custom chiplets, and advancements in 3D packaging.
“We are on the cusp of one of the most significant shifts in the x86 architecture and ecosystem in decades – with new levels of customisation, compatibility and scalability needed to meet current and future customer needs,” said Intel chief Pat Gelsinger.
“We proudly stand together with AMD and the founding members of this advisory group, as we ignite the future of compute, and we deeply appreciate the support of so many industry leaders.”
