Intel forms 23-company Korean AI alliance as it pitches HBM-free inference GPU
What happened
Intel is courting South Korea's AI ecosystem on two fronts: a 23-company alliance built around Korean-made servers, and an inference GPU that swaps costly high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for low-power DRAM. At the 2026 Intel AI Summit Seoul, held at COEX on November 12, the US chipmaker also offered its custom chip design and foundry services to a market crowded with neural processing unit (NPU) startups and home to two of the world's largest memory makers. The source does not state the cause.
