Intel, in a significant collaboration with Facebook, is set to unveil the world's first Neural Network Processor (NNP). During a candid interview at the WSJD Live conference, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich disclosed that Facebook is providing its expertise in artificial intelligence as Intel paves the way for a new era of AI hardware innovation.

This cooperative venture marks an intriguing choice of partnership for Intel, traditionally known for its prowess in semiconductors. Krzanich elaborated, “This is the first piece of silicon. We have a whole family planned for this, [Facebook] is helping us, along with others, as to where this is going.”

Despite the potential skepticism from consumers wary of Facebook's extensive data practices, Intel maintains control over its user data. Beyond Facebook, Intel collaborates with other industry players, though details around these partnerships remain under wraps.

The forthcoming Neural Network Processor, part of Intel's ambitious 'Nervana' initiative, promises to revolutionize artificial intelligence computing across several sectors before year-end. Nervana's vision aligns with Intel's goal of achieving a 100-fold increase in AI performance by 2020.

Applications for the NNP span a variety of fields:

• Healthcare: Revolutionizing diagnostics and research into complex diseases such as cancer and Parkinson's, offering unprecedented precision and understanding.
• Social Media: Empowering platforms like Facebook with tools for personalized user experiences and more effective advertiser reach.
• Automotive: Bringing us closer to a future with autonomous vehicles through accelerated learning capabilities.
• Weather Forecasting: Enhancing predictive models to better anticipate climatic events like hurricanes, potentially saving lives through improved forecasting.

Nervana, before its acquisition, had long been at the forefront of neuromorphic chip development with its 'Lake Crest' design. Intel continues this innovation with the 'Loihi' chip, enhancing AI's ability to mimic human neural processing. As Naveen Rao of Nervana suggests, the first NNP will ship soon after achieving its production goals.
