INTC and ORCL to Collab Around Agentic AI on OCI

Intel and Oracle announced plans for a multiyear collaboration to expand Intel Xeon-based computing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, aimed at meeting demand for enterprise applications, agentic AI, and inference across current and future Xeon platforms, including planned OCI X14 offerings based on Intel's next-generation server processor codenamed Diamond Rapids. The planned Diamond Rapids-based OCI X14 offerings are expected to include enhanced Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) with FP8, FP16, and BF16 support and Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX). The companies intend to coordinate roadmaps and processor capacity planning to support OCI's expansion.
