This week, Intel and SambaNova entered a multi-year strategic collaboration aimed at building large-scale AI inference infrastructure around Intel Xeon platforms and SambaNova AI accelerators. In addition, SambaNova introduced its SN50 AI processor for agentic inference, and inked a deal with SoftBank to deploy it at the latter's data centers.
SambaNova says its SN50 AI accelerator platform is around five times faster and three times more efficient than Nvidia's B200. Additionally, the company has signed a pact with Intel to offer Xeon-based AI systems to enterprises and governments.
