Intel
TechnologyProcessors & AI compute
Intel makes the processors most of this industry quietly runs on, and its Core Ultra line puts a dedicated NPU next to the processor and the integrated graphics, so a machine can run smaller AI models locally instead of sending everything off to a data centre. Add the Arc graphics line and you get a workstation that generates, upscales and transcribes without a subscription meter ticking in the background. For a festival built on generative work, that is exactly the argument about where compute should actually live.
